Diverter Gates are used extensively in the bulk material processing industry to direct the flow of material to various processing circuits, regulate the amount of flow to various circuits, and to isolate circuits for maintenance.
They can be as basic as a single to double diverter with a manual lever to
change blade position from one side to the other, or they can be fully automated devices capable of proportioning flow from one or more sources to a large number of destinations.
Diverter gates can be of two designs depending on the characteristics of the material being handled.
A simple flat blade diverter is applicable for most materials, is relatively inexpensive, easy to install and maintain. For some material, the non-jamming characteristics and sealing capabilities of the rolling blade diverter make it more suitable.
Applications :
Some typical applications include:
• To direct material from a receiving source, such as a belt, pneumatic or other type
of conveyor, to two or more process lines or storage bunkers individually or proportionally, requires the use of some type of diverter gate.
• If a process consists of multiple parallel process circuits, diverter gates are
used to isolate individual circuits for maintenance purposes.
• To maximize the capacity of process plants with multiple parallel process circuits, diverter gates are used to balance the feed to each circuit.
