'''Bucket Diverter Valves''' are designed for mounting on a gravity discharge line to divert from a single inlet to one of two outlets.These are used in a wide variety of gravity flow bulk material applications were cross contamination is not a problem and are designed with one diversion leg offset either 30° or 45° from the inlet leg.The bucket 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 bucket diverter plate from one line to the other by a rotary actuator. | |||

The | The bucket diverter valve has heavy construction along and the valve's actuator is direct coupled to the bucket shaft . This arrangement distributes torque directly to the bucket shaft, eliminating stress to the valve components.This keeps production loss, downtime and maintenance cost to a minimum. |
