This diverter valve is utilized to divert material flow in a dilute phase pneumatic conveying system from one source to either of two destinations.  The design and construction of this valve is similar to an airlock, in that the housing, closed end single blade diverting rotor, and endplates are machined to tight tolerances.  End plates, seals, and bearings are protected from the material flow by the diverter rotor hubs and food grade lubricant packed into the void area between the end plates and rotor hubs. 

Design standards

• Precision machined cast iron housing and end plates
• Precision machined carbon steel rotor (no urethane seals)
• Lifetime lubricated and sealed ball bearing with eccentric self-locking collar
• Shaft sealed for maximum leakage resistance up to 15 PSIG pressure differential
• End plates, seals and bearings are protected from material flow by rotor end plates and special food grade lubricant packed in the void area between the end plates and rotor hub
• Rated for pressures up to 14.7 PSIG (1 Bar)

Optional features

• Stainless steel housing and/or end plates
• Stainless steel rotor and tube adaptors
• Chrome plating of the housing bore
• Double solenoid air control valve
• Air operator, manual or electric actuator
• NEMA 4 or NEMA 7/9 electrical enclosures
• Ceramic coated tube adaptors
• Factory pre-wiring of solenoid and limit switches to terminal box
• Visual flow indicator
