Application area

The tube diverter is mainly used in conveyor lines of high-pressure systems, but can also be used at any time in the low-pressure range. It is suitable for transporting dry, non-sticky dusts or dusts that tend to stick and is used to divert the flow.

The pipe diverter consists of the pipe diverter housing, the swivel arm with the shut-off cone and the pneumatic swivel drive. The closed outlet is sealed by a sealing ring that is pressed against a hardened ring.

In each end position, the pipe switch receives a limit switch (normally closed and normally open) of your choice for standard signalling. A Herion 5/2-way solenoid valve is normally used as the control valve (control valves from other manufacturers on request). The electrical equipment is provided as required in any protection class and in any standard voltage.

Control pressure: approx. 5 bar
Operating pressure: max. 10 bar

The pipe diverter guarantees perfect sealing of the shut-down conveyor line, so that material mixtures are excluded when conveying different substances via one system. The advantage of this design is that the sealing rings can be replaced without dismantling and with very short downtimes. A different diverter design must be selected for conveying sticky and baking materials. Of course, the pipe diverter can also be supplied with an electric motor drive and manual operation.
