STOP external forces or subject to vibrations.

Rotary valve external no zone.
 It is not allowed to have explosive atmosphere out side.

 No dust layers are allowed.
Pay specific attention to the shaft seal and the shaft seal area
- Gland seals
In case of gland seals by means of gland packing it is necessary before starting the
system to fasten the gland in order to set the gland packing in such a way that it seals
and the rotor will be able to run.
After running in tighten gland follower to ensure sealing.
- Shaft sealing with air purge.

When using an air purge gland oil-free dry air must be used. The diameter of the air
pipe supply should be equal to or larger than the connection on the valve. The pressure
of this purging air should be 0.5 bar higher than the pressure in the valve. The air
pressure must be applied before product enters the valve and before conveying
pressures are applied.
The air supply must always be present when there is product in the valve, and
especially after conveying ceases.
After running in tighten gland follower to ensure sealing.
Check adjustment and functioning purge air, if necessary re-adjust.

Gland seals
In case of gland seals by means of gland packing it is necessary before starting the
system to fasten the gland in order to set the gland packing in such a way that it seals
and the rotor will be able to run.
Adjustment of the gland packing seals should be made with the unit in stationary
condition. The gland follower should be tightened up evenly and only to prevent
leakage. The necessity of good gland maintain is very important to prevent
contamination and also unnecessary wear.
If normal adjustment is insufficient to prevent leakage or overheating, the gland

packing should be completely renewed.
Replace the gland packing as follows:

- Withdraw gland follower (421) and pull these against the ball-bearing place.
Remove the old gland packing using a suitable packing extractor tool.
Examine shaft journal for wear. Excessive wear or scoring in this

area will reduce the effective life of the packing.
Code: AL-E.B.01.B 11-2012

17
- Carefully fit the new packing and re-assemble the gland follower (421) which
must be pulled up evenly by means of the gland nuts (413) but not beyond
finger tightness at this stage.
Insert packing rings one at the time with joints staggered 60 apart.

may be caused to the rotor blades and/or bore of the body. Place
the rotor on a wooden surface to prevent the rotor blades from
being damaged.
- Remove the air purge glands (431) and gland packing (431).
3.1.4.2 Re-assembly standard execution
After thoroughly cleaning, checking and renewing necessary parts the valve should be
re-assembled as follows:
- Check that the ball-bearings (105) are pressed in tight to the end cover
(102/107). If necessary, tap lightly on the outer bearing ring using a copper rod,
to ensure that the bearing is seated properly.
- Air purge glands:
reassemble the complete air purge gland in both end covers and secure by
means of nuts (413).
- Gland packing:
reassemble the gland follower (421) to the end covers without packing cord.
Clean the spigot edges of both end covers (102/107) carefully. To

ensure the rotor position is concentric with the valve bore the end
cover spigots are a light interference fit in the body. Before
assembly the jack screws (152) have to be removed.
- Assemble the end cover to the non-drive side of the body and secure it using
bolts (152).
- Assemble rotor blades finger tight to rotor with screws and washers.
- Fit the rotor (the adjustable blade not yet adjusted) in the body and gently push
the rotor shaft through the sealing area at the non drive side end cover. Push
the rotor further until the shaft end is positioned inside the ball-bearing.
- Fit the drive side end cover. Fit the spacer ring (202), retainer ring (221) and the
locknut (222) at both ends of the rotor shaft.

Rotor with fixed blades
Fig. 3.1.4.3.1 Adjustment for axial clearance.
The rotor must be adjusted in axial direction (at both sides) with a tolerance between
the machined surfaces of the rotor.
- Push the rotor hard against the inside face of the end cover at the non-drive
end.
- Measure the total end clearance. Equalise this clearance by placing a feeler
gauge between the vane and the non-drive end cover.
- Tighten locknut until the gauge is just nipped in position.
- Secure the locknut.
- Now tighten the locknut at the drive end until the feeler gauge can be removed.
- Secure drive end locknut and check that both end clearances are equal.
Rotor with adjustable blades

Adjustment of axial rotor as described under rotor with fixed blades.
Axial/radial adjustment of the rotor blades:

The tolerances for the axial adjustment of the rotor blades are the same as stated
for the rotor.
The radial clearance should normally be between 0.12-0.17 mm (see table page 21)
but it is preferable to try and achieve a smallest possible clearance (i.e. 0.12-0.15
mm).
Feeler gauges or copper shims of the correct thickness should be used for adjusting
clearances. They are placed between the loose rotor blades and the cylindrical wall
of the body. (i.e. adjacent to the inlet opening and as close to the end covers as
possible).
Code: AL-E.B.01.B 11-2012

22
Fig. 3.1.4.3.2 Adjustment for axial and radial clearance rotor blades.
- Adjust axial/radial clearance and rotor blade using feeler gauges or copper
shims of the correct thickness.
- Above described adjustment has to be executed with all blades.
Fig. 3.1.4.3.3 Adjustment scraper blades.
Adjustment of scraper blades:

The axial clearance must be adjusted to a slightly closer tolerance (0.05-0.08 mm).
Use again feeler gauges or copper shims of the correct thickness.
The two scraper blades are set with the correct clearance at one side.
Blade L on the left side, blade R is set on the right side with the correct clearance.
After adjustment of the blade feeler gauges or copper shims

STOP must be removed. Never let them remain in the valve.
Code: AL-E.B.01.B 11-2012

23
Rotor with adjustable synthetic or flexible blades
- Average the axial clearance of the rotor blades.

- Adjust radially with zero clearance.
- Fasten clamp plate simultaneously.
Check the final adjustment by turning the rotor by hand. If larger valves of 300 and
350 size have flexible blades it may be necessary to rotate by lever action. If steel
blades are used the rotor should turn noiselessly.
- Assemble cover.
- Assemble gland (3.1.3.2).
- Mount drive parts (3.6).

Clearance depends of size valve and product temperature and valve material.
See enclosed table of clearances for the right adjustment of the rotor.
To achieve rotor end clearance stated above a gasket is fitted between the body and
end cover non-drive end.
For instructions to adjust the rotor and blades see chapter 3.1.4.3 of the AL/BL
series instruction manual.
Lubrication data
The interval between overhauls will vary with the product being handled and should
be based on total operating time. To a large degree the rate of wear for a particular
application would be assembled by practical experience.
Maintenance apart from planned overhaul should be adequately covered by regular

and frequent attention to the rotor shaft glands, bearings, reduction gear lubrication
and adjustment and lubrication of the motor drive chain and chain sprockets.
Bearing of the rotor shaft (for product temperature up to max. 250C)
The bearings fitted in the rotary valve are roller bearings (105).
Apply a few shots of Klüber HM 83-402 to the bearing grease nipple’s (170) using a
gun before starting the valve and at any future opportunity when the valves are
'cool'.
Check bearing monthly and grease if necessary.
Do not apply to valves when hot as the carrier in the lubricant will 'FLASH OFF'.
Drive chain and sprockets

Lubricate with ROCOL FOLIAC L621 monthly.

end cover and secure.
- Loosely fit outer spacer ring (202), retainer ring (221) and the locknut (222) at
both ends of the rotor shaft.
3.3.4.3 Rotor adjustment for standard execution
Special clearances are to be set with high product temperatures,

according to special instructions.
Product characteristics may influence the clearance. In case of any
doubts please contact sales department.
Prior to the delivery the axial position of the rotor is set at the right clearance. This
means that differences in clearance between the rotor and the end cover on both
drive side and non-drive side have been equated as far as possible. Nevertheless,
should it be necessary to readjust the axial position of the rotor, proceed as follows:
Code: AL-E.B.01.B 11-2012

33
Shim thickness clarification

Rotate rotor freely in the valve bore.

and remove.
- Remove inner spacer ring, place required shim onto the rotor shaft followed by
the inner spacer ring. Press bearing housing assembly and secure.
- Fit spacer ring, retainer ring (221) and the locknut (222), tighten locknut and
secure.
- Check that both end clearances are equal.
Code: AL-E.B.01.B 11-2012

34
Rotor with adjustable blades
Axial/radial adjustment of the rotor blades:

The tolerances for the adjustment of the rotor blades depends on the
product temperature.
The special settings for the valve you will find on the datasheet.
In case of any doubt please contact sales department.
Fig. 3.3.4.3.2 Adjustment for axial and radial clearance rotor blades.
- Adjust axial/radial clearance and rotor blade using feeler gauges or copper
shims of the correct thickness.
- Above described adjustment has to be executed with all blades.
After adjustment of the blade feeler gauges or copper shims

STOP must be removed. Never let them remain in the valve.
Check the final adjustment by turning the rotor by hand. If steel blades are used the
rotor should turn noiselessly.
- Assemble bearing cover.

the rotary valve must be prevented.
- Make sure that a sensor and control unit are installed in the system to stop the valve.
- Check rotor clearances.
 The rotary valve is intended to be incorporated into or assembled with other machinery or equipment.
- Installation in fully enclosed pipe work. When installed the pipe work will prevent access to the moving
parts.
- The valve must not be used if either connection remains unconnected.
 The rotary valve contains moving parts that can be injurious. It is the responsibility of the system integrator
/ end user to ensure the safe installation and operation of the valve.
In particular it must be adequately protected and guarded, in compliance with local health and safety
regulations.
 When installing the valve make sure it is not unevenly loaded by external forces or vibrations.
 The chain drive must be protected by a guard.
 The T-bolt switch must be connected to the client safety circuit, which will stop or prevent the valve from
operating. (MZC execution)
 The safety switch must be connected to the client safety circuit, which will stop or prevent the valve from
operating. (option)
Start up and operation

 Check the rotating direction of the valve rotor. It should rotate clockwise seen from the drive end (see direction
of the arrow).
 Check the voltage of the electrical parts.
 Check the shaft seal and air purge pressure, if applicable.
 Remove the plug that is fitted for transportation purposes from the gear box, if applicable.
Maintenance
 While the valve is in operation no maintenance or repair work must be carried out.
 The motor must be isolated before disassembly, cleaning or maintenance is carried out.
