Blade Diverter Valves
Stock Blade Diverter Valves (BDV) are used to divert the flow of fast moving materials from one direction to another. A number of styles and configurations are available to suit the desired flow path. Model BD valves are ruggedly built to handle abrasive materials. Model SH valves are able to divert the flow of static materials.
The standard Blade Diverter line is available in a variety of sizes, actuation options, and materials choices. Standard diverter angles and mounting patterns meet the requirements of most applications. Special angles and mounting patterns, as well as odd sizes, are also available.
Stock BDVs feature heavy-duty, dust-tight construction with all welded joints ground smooth to prevent material build-up. Model BD valves are typically used to divert the flow of falling abrasive material through a chute. The rugged construction of the valve allows it to withstand the extreme conditions associated with these materials.
Model SH Swinging Hopper Diverter Valves can move a static column of material from one direction to another. This unique design prevents complete system shutdown. The splitter chute can divert the flow of material from one leg to another. If one leg is plugged, production can continue by switching material flow to the empty leg.
The Swinging Hopper Diverter Valve is specially engineered to operate under static load conditions. The swinging hopper has the ability to divert material flow from a plugged leg of a splitter chute to the empty leg without hesitation. This is particularly useful in situations where a splitter chute is feeding two batch systems or belt conveyors. This unique design will never allow an entire system to shut down simply because one leg of the splitter is plugged.
