Micro Rotary Valve
A durable, heavyweight rotary valve for lower capacity applications – typical
throughputs of 20 to 1000 lbs. per hour. The rotor volume can be custom-machined
to exactly suit the desired throughput in each application.
The Mico Rotary Valve functions as a metering device and as an airlock!
What Makes the Micro Rotary Valve Work
Rotor
A machined rotor obtains the tightest possible clearances to minimize false air introduction while precisely metering the material into the handling system.
Application Specific
Every Rotor and Barrell are perfectly mated up to meet the specifications of the application. Precisely machined to operate within the specified temperature and at the optimum throughput.
REBUILDABLE!
Like its larger cousin, the Micro-Valve requires minimal maintenance and is totally rebuildable.
Upgrades & Accessories
A variety of upgradeable options exist to meet the needs of the application.
HD Bearings
Equipped with high load outboard tapered roller bearings, which are heavy-duty, industrial grade to ensure proper shaft alignment.

Surface hardened
Depending upon the size, optional surface hardening is available to provide additional abrasion resistance!
Smaller is Sometimes BETTER!
With all the functionality of its larger cousin (PMV), this micro-valve can run with the big dogs! Perfect for operations that have smaller particle sizes and throughput needs!
Key Advantages
…to assure precise, leak-free fit that will operate trouble-free for years.
…the PMRD feeders offer good value for applications requiring > 5 cubic feet per revolution of capacity – particularly applications discharging to atmospheric pressure.
…to tailor the volumetric capacity per revolution to your application.
…or other additives into a batch or continuous process for tight, as-expected process results.
Common Applications
Micro Rotary Valve Industries
Designed For Performance.Built To Last.
- The Micro Valve housing, rotor, and endbells are precision-milled from blocks of 4140 abrasion resistant steel.
- Rotors are held in Precision inventory in an unfinished state; pocket design and volumetric capacity are determined for each application and machined once an order is placed.
- Rotors are sealed to the housing using two Quad-Ring viton or nitrile seals inserted into square grooves machined into the rotor body.
- Self-aligning bearings and Viton lip seals in the endbells provide protection against dust migration
- Nord fractional-HP, shaft-mounted gear-motor drive packages
