Swing Ball Diverter Valve
The Swing Ball Diverter Valve is a critical component in pneumatic conveying systems, designed to change the direction of flow for bulk materials. This versatile valve can handle bulk solids in powdered, pellet, flake, or granular form, making it ideal for various industrial applications.
Using a Swing Ball Diverter Valve, bulk solids can be diverted from one feeding point to two receiving points, or vice versa. The different conveying routes are selected by the swinging motion of the sealing ball within the housing. The pneumatic cylinder, actuated by a solenoid valve, drives this swinging action. The actuator is directly connected to the shaft assembly, which in turn controls the swing ball's movement.
This design ensures a smooth and efficient change of flow direction, minimizing downtime and optimizing the performance of your pneumatic conveying system. The inclusion of a proximity switch allows for real-time monitoring and precise control, enhancing the overall reliability and safety of the operation.
