In today’s competitive market and economy, no company has the time or money to install and repair equipment that cannot stand the test of time. Clyde Bergemann Malvern (CBMAL) understands your plant cannot afford frequent shut downs, loss of time and revenue, and that you can not jeopardize your process by selecting equipment that does not perform. CBMAL is a leading supplier of dilute and dense phase pneumatic conveying systems and components. Let CBMAL use it's 70 plus years of experience to supply a system to meet your specific needs.

Introducing eXTtreme Feeders:

For decades CBMAL has been supplying rotary valves to handle extremely abrasive materials. The PERMA/flo “XL” rotary valve has been considered the valve of choice by many customers who demand long life and high quality. The basic design of the “XL” has remained unchanged since 1964. The “XT” line of rotary valves are based on the time proven concept of the “XL”. The major enhancement of the “XT” is the increased throat dimension that provides up to an additional 82% over the existing “XL” design. This was done by increasing the number of pockets in the rotor from nine to ten. This in turn allows the inlet shoe to widen exposing a two-pocket width in lieu of one. This extra width minimizes possible bridging while increasing pocket fill efficiency.

Like the “XL” series, the “XT” can be applied as rotary feeders and airlocks. The “XT” series of rotary valves are a unique design that offers adjustment between the rotor and the seal shoe. This adjustability enables the rotor to seal shoe gap to be maintained providing the tightest seal possible through out the life of the unit.

Both the rotor and seal shoe are constructed of a special chrome-iron alloy called P-33. This alloy yields a hardness of 500-600 Brinell. Unlike other valves that feature a surface hardening, P-33 is a solid alloy casting that does not wear off.
