The Precision Difference

Manufacturing the Heaviest Duty Rotary Airlocks & Screw Conveyors in the Material Handling Industry!

Premach USA

HEAVY-DUTYLONG-LASTINGREBUILDABLE AIRLOCKS

100% Made in the United States of America!

The team at Precision Machine & Manufacturing (PMM) takes great pride in manufacturing the heaviest-duty and longest-lasting material handling components in an industry where other rotary airlock manufacturing companies appear to be completely satisfied with building average products that do not hold up to the material being conveyed and wear out far too soon.
At PMM, we pride ourselves on being the absolute best and have every intention of staying at the top!

Developing solutions for the most difficult material-handling challenges is in our DNA and is why we manufacture the heaviest-duty, best functioning, and longest lasting Rotary Airlock Feeders, Rotary Valve Airlocks, and Screw Conveyors in the industry.
In addition, we are proud of the fact that all of Precision Machine & Manufacturing’s products are 100% manufactured in the United States of America!

Performance

Performance

Cast-Iron manufacturing process does not allow for the tightest possible rotor to housing clearances resulting in faster wear rates, increased maintenance, and reduced throughput due to greater “blow-By.” The proprietary manufacturing process centers around producing the tightest possible clearances, which by standard complies with NFPA regulations, minimizing “blow-by” and maximizing throughput.
Durability

Durability

Cast-Iron harness ranges between 250-350 Brinell, which results in much faster wear rates, significantly reduced throughput, increased maintenance, and more frequent replacements. Manufactured from a specialty formulated, through-hardened, abrasion-resistant steel alloy with a hardness rating of 500 Brinell/50 Rockwell, and is surface treated increasing the overall hardness to near 600 Brinell/60 Rockwell. This results in much slower wear rates, far more throughput, decreased maintenance, and a longer-lasting rotary valve.
Operational Temp.

Operational Temp.

Standard operating temperatures for cast-iron is limited to between 300-500 degrees Fahrenheit. Configurable to operate at temperatures between 1,000-1,200 degrees Fahrenheit.
Maintenance

Maintenance

Difficult to maintain due to being constructed of a single casting, resulting in total replacement of the valve if wear is identified in a single area. Lighter-duty bearings cause shaft misalignment and difficult access. Furthermore, material blockages are commonplace. Minimal maintenance required! The Modular design allows for quick onsite wear item replacement resulting in very little downtime. Heavy-duty outboard roller bearings keep the rotor shaft perfectly aligned eliminating binding caused by misalignment. Minimal air blow-by keeps material blockages to a minimum. Rebuild versus replace!
Price

Price

Comparatively, the sales price of a standard cast iron feeder can be significantly less, which is due to the inexpensive casting process, and the inherent light-duty construction. Unfortunately, the low initial purchase price is quickly surpassed as these units require more frequent replacements due to increased wear rates. Overall Cost ROI (Return on Investment): While the initial sales price may come in a bit higher, the longer service life, reduced maintenance costs, and less downtime result in a more favorable cost ROI over the entire lifespan of the product. This results in the rotary valve offering a much greater value for the money spent when considering the total costs over time.

THE PRECISION ADVANTAGE

Rotary Airlock and Screw Conveyor Rebuild Service

NOT ALL COMPONENTS ARE CREATED EQUAL! Unlike our competitors, every component we manufacture is rebuildable! Having the opportunity to rebuild PMM’s material handling components versus the industry standard of replacing them, significantly improves the return on investment over the life of the product.
Precision Machine & Manufacturing Material Handling Components = Stronger ROI!
