Rotary airlocks are designed to keep a consistent pressure differential, so material can travel efficiently through the pneumatic system. They do this by “locking” or sealing the airflow between the inlet and outlet. Without airlocks, pressurized air would be to flow upwards, block material from entering the inlet, and reduce flow drastically. Read more: http://www.acsvalves.com/blog/read/t...nimize-leakage
