Rotary Vane Diverter Valves
Rotary Diverter Valves are designed for mounting on a gravity discharge line were each diversion leg is offset 30° or 45° from the straight through leg and were cross over dusting is minimized.Rotary vane diverter valves are used in a wide variety of gravity flow bulk material applications were a minimum dusting between the legs is acceptable and are designed with the diversion legs offset either 30° or 45° from the inlet leg."O" ring seals on each end of the vane shaft prevent dust leakage to exterior. The flange mounted bearing provide smooth and rugged operation.
The rotary vane diverter valve is offered either as 30°diversion leg offset or 45° diversion leg offset. The change of direction is accomplished by changing the position of the blade from one line to the other by a rotary actuator.These valve has heavy construction along and the valve's actuator is direct coupled to the bucket shaft . This arrangement distributes torque directly to the vane shaft, eliminating stress to the valve components.This keeps production loss, downtime and maintenance cost to a minimum.The rotary vane diverter valve is engineered for rugged industrial applications that require strength and freedom from contamination. The unit is designed for use as Diverter Valves for gravity spouting where internal pressure up to 15 PSI may be encountered. The rugged design ensures heavy duty use with minimum maintenance. The flop gate consists of two opposing vanes.
