The diverter valve directs product arriving from one inlet to either of two outlets. The blade inside the body is moved by a pneumatic cylinder and its end positions are reported to the panel by sensors.

Sealing faces prevent product from leaking into the line that is not selected, so switching between different flours or different bins carries no risk of mixing.

The body and blade are made of wear-resistant sheet, and the maintenance cover comes off for access to the internal parts. A stainless body is available depending on the product.

How it works

Working principle

Conveying moves grain and milled products between every stage of the plant with minimal energy and no product damage.

1Product enters the boot of the elevator from a conveyor or hopper.
2Buckets on an endless belt lift it up the loaded leg and over the head pulley.
3Centrifugal force throws the product into the discharge spout, from where screw or chain conveyors and pneumatic lines carry it on.
