Vacuum Wheels

Cherokee Vacuum Wheels

Cherokee Vacuum Wheels—also known as rotary air locks—are critical components used throughout the ginning process to efficiently drop cotton into a conveying air stream. Their design resembles a horizontal revolving door, allowing material to transition from one stage to another without air leakage, maintaining system pressure and efficiency.

These vacuum wheels are engineered for heavy-duty performance, featuring rugged construction and easy-access housing for simplified maintenance. The gentle design of the housing also extends the life of the replaceable flashing (rubber seals), minimizing downtime and replacement costs.
