The maximum-duty (MD) 1820 Aerolock is commonly used with some of the most challenging materials including minerals, chemicals, fillers, food ingredients, filled pellets, PVC compound, and diatomaceous earth.

The MD 1820 is engineered for heavy to severe industrial service with pressure differentials up to 20 psig and/or temperatures of 250˚F. The ability to withstand severe shock loads and elevated temperatures makes the MD 1820 Aerolock a maximum-duty performer.

It has a 10-blade rotor that maintains a minimum three-blade labyrinth seal to minimize air leakage. A single radial ball bearing is located on the drive side with two tapered roller bearings on the thrust side.
