This plug style diverter valve is utilized to divert material flow in a dilute phase or dense phase pneumatic conveying system from one source to either of two destinations. This valve can also be used to converge material flow from two sources to one destination. The design and construction of this valve is similar to an airlock in that the housing, plug, and endplates are machined to tight tolerances.
