Description

Bulkmatic Rotary type multi-port Diverter Valves are available with a single inlet and between two and six outlets depending on customer requirements. They are generally used for diverting conveying streams on dilute phase conveying systems. Machined and sandwiched HDPE seal plates ensure a positive seal at both ends of the diverter and prevent leakage of material and air between the barrel and the end flange plates. These units are suited for installation at the start of a conveying line and can also be used in reverse where different conveying streams need to convey to one destination. The unit is designed with limit switches fitted to the barrel.

Together with a brake motor these are used to sense and position which outlet pipe the barrel is rotated to. The barrel and seal plates are replaceable when worn.

All parts are precision lasercut ensuring a quality unit where replacement parts fit first time. The diverter valve can be mounted in a vertical or horizontal position depending on the application. To prevent undue pipe stresses from being transferred to the diverter, installation should be done with flexible couplings.

Standard material of manufacture is mild steel. Stainless steel 304 or 316 units can be supplied for food grade applications. Optional extras include customer specific flanges on inlet and outlet pipes.

Standard sizes include: 65NB, 80NB, 100NB, 125NB and 150NB.

Other sizes and configurations are supplied on request.
