Scaling Diverter Valves
Scaling Diverter Valves also known as by-pass fill valves are specifically designed to handle dry bulk material. These valves are typically used above filterless scale receivers in dilute phase conveying systems. In filling position the product is directed in the receiver while the conveying air escape with a certain percentage of product to be filtered elsewhere for final separation. In straight or by-pass position the inlet ports to the receiver are closed and all product goes directly to final separation. This enables an inexpensive installation for multiple receivers in a low headroom.
Principle Of Operation
Scaling diverter valve is used principally to divert materials in pneumatic transit to receiving vessels. This diversion can be used for such things as in-line filling of bulk storage bins, scale hoppers or process hoppers. In the straight through position the inlet and exit points are aligned through the machined bore of a rotating paddle so that the material passes straight through the valve. Set in the diverting position, (turned through 90 degrees) the air and material enter the inlet port to be directed downwards by the diversion paddle, into the receiving vessel.
