Diverter Valve | Product flow diverter valve for switching pneumatic conveying lines between destinations.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The Diverter Valve switches product flow between pneumatic conveying lines, directing bulk material from one inlet to selected outlets in mill and grain handling networks. It enables automated route changes without stopping the blower system.


WORKING PRINCIPLE

An internal flap rotates or slides to connect the inlet with one of several outlet ports while sealing unused paths. Control signals from the plant automation select the active route for silo filling, machine feeding or waste discharge.


APPLICATION AREAS

  • Pneumatic line routing in flour mills
  • Switching between silos and process consumers
  • Dense-phase conveying diversion points
  • Automated bulk handling systems

Diverter valves enable one blower line to serve multiple destinations, reducing capital equipment in pneumatic mill designs. Positive sealing at the inactive outlets prevents product leakage and pressure loss during route changes.

Wear-resistant internal surfaces suit abrasive flour and semolina powders transported at typical mill velocities.

Visual position indicators help operators confirm the active route during manual checks and commissioning tests.

Pneumatic and motorised actuator options suit different utility supplies available on site.

Compact bodies fit tight ceiling spaces above packing and silo areas.


FEATURES & ADVANTAGES

  • Quick switching between conveying routes
  • Reliable sealing at pressure differential
  • Compact valve for pipeline installation
  • Automation-ready control interface
  • Durable construction for abrasive powders
