Why are rotary airlock valves installed in dust collection systems?

Rotary airlock valves play an important role in dust collection systems. They remove collected dust from hoppers while maintaining the pressure difference inside the system. This prevents unwanted air from entering the dust collector and keeps the system working efficiently. Their continuous operation also supports steady dust discharge during long working hours.
