Prater’s Quick-Take-Apart (QTA) Series Rotary Airlock was designed specifically for applications where quick cleaning or frequent removal of the rotary valve internals is necessary. The QTA permits safe, tool-less removal of the rotor and end plate as one single piece. This eliminates the often time-consuming step of “gapping” the rotor during reassembly for quick and easy operation. Additionally, there are no guide rails that require extra maintenance.

Other features of the Quick-Take-Apart Series include eight-blade rotors, available square sizes of 6 and 8 inches, cast iron or stainless steel construction, and direct drive gear-motors available in 9, 15 or 23 RPM.
