Asym. Swing Gate
Model B Diverter
The Asymmetrical Swing Gate is your solution for efficient material routing in pneumatic conveying systems, guaranteeing proper gate alignment and even torque distribution. The two-way diverter valves are used for routing bulk material flow from one line to either of two lines or from two lines to one line or connected in series to for diverting to multiple lines. Its precision-machined sealing surfaces and heavy-duty cast construction ensure minimal leakage and long service life, reducing downtime and maintenance costs.
Features & Options
With a unique offset design and robust ball bearing support, the Model B features Teflon sealing strips and "O" rings for an airtight seal. The valves are designed with one diversion leg offset 30° from the straight through leg. The standard size range is 2″ through 12″ with larger sizes available upon request. Removable side plates provide quick access to the valve interior without disconnecting it from your system, minimizing downtime and production losses.
