ENGINEERED FOR THE PROCESS
Star Valve
Compact rotary valve configurations for metering and discharge systems.
Star Valve from Sercan Machinery
Our engineering team reviews the handled material, particle size, bulk density, capacity, temperature, pressure differential and installation interface before recommending a configuration. This reduces leakage, unstable feeding, wear and avoidable maintenance.

APPLICATION NOTES
Engineering considerations for Star Valve
The main design objective is providing dependable discharge for free-flowing dry bulk materials. Confirm particle size, inlet loading and duty cycle before fixing the valve size, rotor and drive arrangement.
A correctly sized inlet and rotor pocket reduce bridging and uneven discharge. Sercan reviews these details against capacity, installation interface and maintenance access before issuing a project drawing.
Recommended project checks
- Provide representative material and bulk density data.
- State normal and maximum temperature and pressure conditions.
- Confirm flange dimensions, available height and drive orientation.
- Define the expected duty cycle and maintenance target.
TECHNICAL FAQ
Questions before selection
Can the valve match an existing brand or model?
Yes. Send the existing model, nameplate, interface dimensions and operating conditions.
Which information affects capacity?
Rotor volume, speed, filling efficiency and bulk density all affect output.
