peer agreement (net): +1rotary feeder Explanation: Sounds as if it might be this, aka a "sas rotatif". You have a pipe conveying loose (granular or powder) material, and at the end a sort of "wheel" comprising a number of buckets between its two flanges.

peer agreement (net): +1scrapped rotary valve Explanation: I found these this definition in a french/english website : Ecluse rotative raclée Dispositif d'étanchéité dans une ligne process. Usage industriel intensif pour produits humides et collants. Principe de fonctionnement Un rotor à alvéoles tourne dans un stator, avec un jeu limité entre les deux éléments.
