The Vortex®Aggregate Diverter™ is designed to meet the demanding applications with handling material such as sand, gravel, whole grains, and coal. The optional inlets, chute liners, and bucket liners extend the life of this valve when handling abrasive materials. The diverter’s access panel allows for quicker entry to the interior of the diverter for inspecting and cleaning the valve. The heavy-duty abrasion resistant bucket is also removable through this access panel for service.
Ideal application: Used to divert heavy-duty and/or abrasive dry bulk solid materials from one source toward two destinations in gravity-fed applications. The Vortex® Aggregate Diverter™ often replaces conventional “bucket” diverters used in such environments.
Key Features
Optional chute liners to protect against wear and abrasion
Optional dead pocket inlet allows materials to abrade upon themselves as they pass through the inlet
Optional “rock box” liners allow materials to collect and abrade upon themselves, rather than continuously abrading upon the diverter’s material contact areas
Recessed areas to protect the seals and leading edges of the bucket blade from abrasion
Dust-tight to atmosphere
Robust blade seal maintains a positive seal of materials/dust-tight seal across the closed outlet chute to prevent material leakage into the opposite chute
Removable access panel for in-line inspection and maintenance
Replaceable parts to prolong service life
Bucket blade constructed from 400 Brinell Hardness (BHN) abrasion-resistant steel
Conveyance Type
Gravity flow only
