Two-way pipe diverter for pneumatic bulk material conveying
When powdered or granular raw materials need to be precisely distributed or combined within a plant, reliable control of material flows is crucial. AZO’s two-way pipe diverter allows switching between two conveying paths, thereby supporting demand-based material routing in pneumatic conveying systems.
Distribute and Consolidate Bulk Material Flows in a Targeted Manner
The pneumatic pipe diverter directs bulk materials into the desired conveying path via a rotating flap or merges material streams. Precise positioning is detected by limit switches. This allows for precise control of material flow and integration into automated conveying processes. Adjustment takes place outside the pneumatic conveying system and in a pressure-free state.
Reliable Sealing for a Variety of Requirements
The robust, enclosed cast aluminum housing and the smooth passages of the rotary valve body support process-appropriate bulk material conveyance. Static, food-grade silicone seals are rated for pressures up to 3 bar. An inflatable seal is available as an option for applications up to 6 bar. This allows the pipe diverter to be selected to meet the specific process requirements.
Flexible integration into existing systems
The two-way pipe diverter can be installed in any orientation. The discharge path can be mounted on either the left or the right, allowing the component to be flexibly adapted to the system geometry. It is suitable for powdered and granular bulk materials in the food, pharmaceutical, plastics, and chemical industries. The permissible product temperature range is from −25 °C to +80 °C, and the ambient temperature range is from −10 °C to +40 °C.
