* | '''Gravity Flow Diverter''' is designed to divert material to one of two destinations while in a gravity fall.It diverts material into either of two lines intersecting at an angle of 60°. The valve is fabricated with a bucket design so that when material is being fed through one leg of the valve there will be minimal dusting in the opposite leg. | ||

==Features== | |||
* Manual, air or electric actuator operation | |||
* Air filter, regulator, lubricator and flow control valve | |||
* Optional limit switches | |||
* Mild steel construction standard, stainless,aluminum and abrasion resistant steel also available | |||
==Benefits== | |||
* On many standard flapper style diverters, material flow creates abrasion to the leading edge of the flapper vane that can lead to leakage and cross-contamination of material. The gravity flow diverter is engineered to channel the flow of material away from the leading edge of the flapper vane. | |||
* An optional clean in place access panel with spin knobs allows for quicker access to the interior of the diverter for inspection, cleaning or sanitation purposes. | |||
* Traditional flapper diverters have extremely weak or no shaft seals causing leakage and cross-contamination. The gravity flow diverter features a live-loaded, wear compensating, polymer shaft seal minimizing product leakage past the vane shaft. | |||
==Application== | |||
* Gravity flow | |||
* Handles nonabrasive to abrasive powders, granular or pellets | |||
* Carbon or stainless steel material of construction | |||
