How to Choose the Right Conveyor

Product Tags

Diverter Valve, also known as flow diversion valve or two-way switching valve, is essential pipeline switching equipment for dry powder, granular materials and fly ash conveying systems. Adopting a precision cast valve body and integrated swing baffle mechanism, the valve can quickly and accurately switch material flow direction between two outlets, realizing one-inlet two-outlet material distribution and diversion. Different from ordinary control valves, it is specially optimized for high-speed pneumatic conveying working conditions, with no material retention and no dead-angle accumulation inside the valve cavity.
Equipped with high-performance pneumatic or electric actuators, the diverter valve supports automatic remote control and on-site manual switching, featuring fast response speed and high positioning accuracy. The reinforced wear-resistant baffle and sealing structure effectively resists long-term scouring of fly ash, powder and granular materials, avoiding abrasion, air leakage and material mixing. The streamlined internal structure ensures smooth material passing without blocking, greatly improving the continuity and efficiency of bulk material conveying systems.

 Core Product Advantages

  • Precise Two-way Flow Diversion: Professional baffle switching structure realizes accurate material flow direction conversion, effectively avoiding material cross-mixing and ensuring independent pipeline operation.
  • Zero Blockage & No Material Residue: Streamlined internal cavity design eliminates dead angles, prevents fly ash and fine powder accumulation, and maintains long-term smooth material conveying.
  • Excellent Sealing & Air Tightness: High-strength wear-resistant sealing components ensure tight pipeline isolation, prevent air leakage and pressure loss, and stabilize pneumatic conveying system pressure.
  • Fast Automatic Switching: Supports pneumatic and electric driving modes, fast switching response, compatible with automatic industrial control systems, realizing unmanned intelligent diversion.
  • High Wear Resistance & Long Service Life: Thickened valve body and hardened baffle structure adapt to high-frequency switching and long-term material scouring, reducing replacement frequency.
  • Flexible & Easy Installation: Compact integrated structure with standard flange interface, easy to install and disassemble, suitable for new construction and old system renovation.
