The Vortex® Fill Pass Diverter™ provides a versatile and reliable solution for filling one or more in-line weigh hoppers when material is conveyed pneumatically through a closed loop system. The design of the Fill Pass Diverter utilizes spread hopper inlet/outlet stacks for improved air and material separation reducing fill time and down line material carryover.
Ideal application: Filling one or more tanks or scale hoppers when pneumatically conveying dry bulk solid materials via a closed loop system. Vortex® Fill Pass Diverters™ are stackable so that several convey lines can be compacted to route toward a common source.
Key Features
Shimming system for in-line maintenance
The diverter’s spread stack offers better separation of air and materials
Material deflector to direct material flow and minimize material carryover
Machined, full-bore orifices for unobstructed material flow and to maintain convey line pressures
Double-acting air cylinder provides instant response to actuation commands, for accurate scaling into hoppers
“Scissoring” action reduces seal wear and minimizes material shearing
Seals off the closed port(s) for a positive material shut-off
Positive seal of materials/dust-tight seal across the closed line(s) and to atmosphere
No pinch points or exposed moving parts
