Our downloadable brochure simply outlines Rotolok’s range of special sized rotary airlocks. However, Rotolok manufactures even more than are listed here, including some round inlets to square outlets and the range is continuously being extended.

For full specifications, rotor selection and other options please refer to our Rotary Valve & Airlocks pages.
