In modern feed production lines, the flexibility of technological processes is a critical condition for stable operation. Diverters serve as key nodes that allow for efficient logistics management of ingredients within the facility. Their use ensures the ability to instantly redirect product flow between different mixing, pelleting, or packaging lines, minimizing downtime and optimizing capacity utilization.
Constant friction of grain particles, bran, or mineral additives against the internal walls of the equipment leads to metal wear. To ensure durability, diverter valves are equipped with special replaceable linings (fittings):
– Hardox Steel: Known for its extreme hardness, making it resistant to intense abrasion and impact loads.
– UHMW Polymer: Ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene, which protects against wear and has a low friction coefficient, preventing wet raw materials or fatty additives from sticking.
– Ceramics: Used in the most heavily loaded areas to achieve maximum service life in aggressive environments.
This design allows for the replacement of only the internal protective plates without dismantling the entire valve, significantly saving resources on maintenance.
The functionality of the flap largely depends on the chosen control method. The design allows for both traditional manual operation and full process automation.
Configuration Options:
– Manual Drive: A reliable solution for sections where flow switching occurs infrequently. It requires no power supply and is easy to operate.
– Electric Actuator: Provides high precision and feedback to the operator’s console.
– Pneumatic Cylinder: Guarantees instantaneous triggering, which is critical for high-capacity systems.
The use of automation tools allows valves to become part of a single intelligent system, ensuring seamless product movement between bucket elevators, silos, and feeders without manual intervention.
