Vortex Valves Europe introduces a CE, ATEX and FDA approved diverter valve that allows dry bulk solids hoppers to dispense with air vent valves. As part of a closed-loop, pneumatic conveying system the Fill Pass Diverter routes product flow into one or more in-line hoppers, while venting air back into the loop.
The Fill Pass Diverter performs the single function of directing product to either bypass the hopper, or fill it from the top. However, the design is fully flexible in terms of connection options and construction materials, enabling it to handle wide-ranging powders, pellets and granular media in diverse operating environments.
Incorporating the same design technology as the Quantum orifice gate valve and the Wye Line Diverter launched previously by Vortex, the Fill Pass Diverter benefits from a cost saving modular construction and a blade and seal slide mechanism. Streamlined, unobstructed pathways and clean shut-off improve filling rate and accuracy over the diverter‚s recommended working pressure range of +/- 1 barg.
In addition, hard polymer seals are protected from blast abrasion, self-clean on the opening stroke and self-compensate for wear. Seals and seats can be fitted in materials that include polyamide, PET, UHMW polyethylene, glass filled PTFE and silicone rubber. Materials of construction are 304 or 316L stainless steel, carbon steel, or aluminium. Options are also provided for actuation, position detection switches and for pipe schedules and sizes, which extend from 50mm to 150mm diameter.
Maintenance takes place with the diverter left entirely in-line. A shimming system allows the user to increase or decrease the compression force of the seals, or plates, on the blade. Quick and easy adjustments can therefore be made to adjust performance, without removal from the line, with negligible downtime. Replacement seals simply slot in place and push out the existing seal.
Vortex Valves Europe is ISO 9001 accredited and produces valves purpose-designed and built for dry bulk solids handling under gravity, vacuum or positive pressure. The complete range is ATEX approved for Group II, Category 2 - zones 1 and 21 plus Group II, Category 3 - zones 2 and 22.
