Introduced by Schenck Process just after PACK EXPO Las Vegas 2021, the Global Hygienic Airlock (GHA), a USDA Dairy accepted dismountable airlock, is suited to applications where dry raw or finished products are being handled in the process and where inspection or system clean-out is required. At PACK EXPO International 2022, Schenck Process was displaying not only the GHA itself, but new features it has since made available on the airlock.

The Rotor Assist Device (RAD), for example, was recently made available to help disassemble the valve housing for cleaning. “These 12-, 14-, 16-, 18-in. valves can get quite heavy,” commented Jon Goecker, industry manager for Schenck Process, who demonstrated the unit at the company’s booth.
