Diverter Valves are proven, simple slide type 3 Way Valves which allows transfer without disrupting line operation. It is designed for highly viscous fluids. The valve is used in pellet, film and fiber manufacturing applications for filtration systems and as a dump valve to isolate Pumps, Extruders, pelletizers and other downstream equipment.
Construction
Diverter valves are available with the housing constructed of iron, aluminum, or stainless steel. The cast metal diverting gate is offered in carbon or stainless steel. A polyurethane flapper, retained between the two halves of the metal diverting gate, seals the unused leg of the valve during operation.
Benefits
- metal-to-metal seal requires no packing
- no stagnation areas
- smooth, even transfer from one port to the other for bumpless product flow
- low maintenance required
- patented side rail system for accurate positioning
