Diverter Valve for Pneumatic Conveying of Abrasive Products

DMN UK Ltd. will be showing the new DMN-WESTINGHOUSE Ball Type Diverter (BTD) for the first time in Scotland at the forthcoming Scot Plant exhibition at Ingliston, Edinburgh on 7 – 8th April . This diverter is specifically designed to converge or diverge abrasive products in pneumatic conveying systems. The diverter is also suitable for systems having relatively high pressures and temperatures, such as thermoelectric power stations (coal and fuel ash), incinerators and foundries as well as typical construction industry applications like cement, glass, ceramic, limestone and gypsum plants.

The diverter can be used for both diverting and converging. When diverting, which is the most common application, the product itself provides the wear surface. When converging, the impact area of the product on the diverter has been considerably strengthened to provide a long and reliable service life. The design of the diverter ensures that the higher the positive pressure, the tighter the seal. This is due to the ball and its seal being pushed firmly into its seating. In order to minimise expensive down time for servicing, the seals can be replaced with the valve in place by removing two side covers.

The BTD is operated by a double acting pneumatic actuator with a 5/2 double acting solenoid and position confirmation switch. It can be used in systems with positive pressures up to 6 bar g and negative pressures up to -0.5 bar g. The standard configuration can be used for temperatures from -10 up to +150 °C.

The ball type diverter is made from Ductile Spheroidal cast iron and is available in 7 sizes, ranging from 65mm to 250mm line diameter.
