Brief Description
Application
Fully automatic material change without any
manual handling, only as part of a Colortronic
centrally controlled conveying system. The rotary
valves are controlled by the conveying controller.
A Colortronic rotary valve system eliminates the
need for multiple pipe runs and automates material
changeovers so that more complex system requirements can also be fulfilled without problem.
Colortronic rotary valves are maintenancefree and designed for 7 day, 24-hour operation.
Colortronic rotary valves meet the European
"CE" requirements.

Rugged, modular construction
With a Colortronic rotary valve system, even with
the simplest version, up to ten machines can automatically be provided with up to ten different
materials.
The rotary valve comes complete with rotors and
connecting parts which are cast in high grade
steel with specially hardened surfaces, which as
well as meeting clean room conditions means it
is also capable of processing abrasive materials.
