Rotary valve handles abrasive materials
Aerodyne Rhino H Rotary Valve is for metering dry granular materials in manufacturing processes. The new rotary airlock valve is intended for highly abrasive materials. Rotor vanes have hardened tips, and tight tolerances between shroud and rotor vanes minimize material entry that can cause wear. An optional abrasion-resistant coating is available.

Aerodyne Rhino H Rotary Valve is for metering dry granular materials in manufacturing processes. The new rotary airlock valve is intended for highly abrasive materials. Rotor vanes have hardened tips, and tight tolerances between shroud and rotor vanes minimize material entry that can cause wear. An optional abrasion-resistant coating is available. Typical applications include processes that handle cement, sugar, grains, plastic resins, and lime. Unlike most rotary valves made from castings and cannot be customized, Aerodyne’s are fabricated to fit almost any size system. It is available with four, six, or eight vanes.

2012 Salary Survey
In a year when manufacturing continued to lead the economic rebound, it makes sense that plant manager bonuses rebounded. Plant Engineering’s annual Salary Survey shows both wages and bonuses rose in 2012 after a retreat the year before.
Average salary across all job titles for plant floor management rose 3.5% to $95,446, and bonus compensation jumped to $15,162, a 4.2% increase from the 2010 level and double the 2011 total, which showed a sharp drop in bonus.
