1. Introduction
Thank you for your purchase. Read and follow the instructions in this manual and in the
manufacturer’s manuals that are provided with your equipment. If these manuals are not included,
contact AGI Airlanco immediately for replacements prior to installation, operation, or maintenance.
This manual alongside the manufacturer’s manuals provide instructions and safety information to help
you install, operate, and maintain the fabricated airlock. If any information in these manuals are not
understood or if you need additional information, please contact AGI Airlanco or the manufacturer for
assistance.
The manuals should be regarded as part of the equipment and kept in a safe and accessible place.
1.1. Equipment Overview
Rotary airlocks have a rugged cast housing with inlet and outlet ports, a rotor, and a drive unit. It has multi-
bladed rotor that picks up the material in the pocket between two blades as it rotates. The air is sealed
between the inlet and outlet ports which allows the material to move downward through the valve while
maintaining the pressure differential between the two areas. The pressure or vacuum difference must be
maintained within the valve for proper function.
1.2. Intended Use
• Airlock is not a standalone device. It is intended to be installed within a larger system or process.
• AGI Airlanco fabricated airlocks are used in pneumatic conveying systems, dust collection systems, and
cyclone receiver installations to allow dry free-flowing materials to move between two areas of differing air
pressure.
1.3. Serial Number Location
The serial number location for your fabricated airlock is shown in the figure below. Have the serial number
ready when ordering parts or requesting service or other information. Record information in the table below for
easy reference.

General Operation
1. Run the motor which drives the reducer and check the direction of reducer output rotation. Consult
motor nameplate for instructions to reverse the direction of rotation.
2. Attaching the load: On direct coupled installations, check shaft and coupling alignment between
speed reducer and loading mechanism. On chain/sprocket and belt/pulley installation, locate the
sprocket or pulley as close to the oil seal as possible to minimize overhung load. Check to verify that
the overhung load does not exceed specifications published in the catalog.

AGI Fabricated Airlock
AGI Fabricated Airlocks are used in pneumatic conveying systems, dust collection systems, and cyclone receiver installations to allow dry free-flowing materials to move between two areas of differing air pressure. The airlock has a rugged cast housing with inlet and outlet ports, a rotor, and a drive unit. It has multi-bladed rotor that picks up the material in the pocket between two blades as it rotates.
