Vortex Gates & Diverters Handle Paprika
Vortex Gates & Diverters Handle Paprika
Handling spices can be a complex process offering a variety of challenges. Among the primary concerns when handling these ingredients are dusting to atmosphere and viscosity of the materials being handled. These businesses can mitigate potentially detrimental effects by purchasing dust-tight valves for their facilities. Many dust-tight valves designed today feature hard polymers as a sealing surface, because they offer a superior seal and better wear characteristics for most applications. A spice company handling paprika, selected a 100mm (4”) Vortex Wye Line Diverter to eliminate material cross contamination accompanied by several 500mm (20”) Vortex Roller Gates to shut off and seal material at the bottom of dry blenders and mixers. Features include magnetic reed switches and stainless-steel material contact surfaces and rollers. The Wye Line Diverter is bespoken to eliminate cross contamination with the line being purged between batches. These valves

Wye Line Diverter Handling Sheet Metal Shavings
Wye Line Diverter Handling Sheet Metal Shavings
In this application, 50mm (2”) Vortex Wye Line Diverters are included on a factory piece of equipment that acts as a multi-tool machine used for building airplane parts. As holes are drilled to fasten sheet metal, the diverter is used as part of a vacuum system to pull away shavings. The shavings are routed through the straight leg to reduce wear and the off leg pulls to clean air. The straight leg is opposite the air cylinder to fit better in the client’s process. * These specific Wye Line Diverters feature Teflon pressure plates. * Aluminium valve body with live loaded, wear compensating seals with a 304 stainless steel blade. * Inlet and outlet weldments are constructed from carbon steel. Material contact is carbon steel, 304 stainless steel and polymer. * Inlet has a straight through conveying line design for easier ”in line” installation of multiple diverters. * PET pressure plates are backed with a foam void filler and live loaded natural rubber

Halar Coated Vortex Seal Tite Diverter to Handle Acid Flake For the corrosive nature of the material handled all internal areas of the valve are Halar coated. Material contact is 316L stainless steel, polymer, and rubber.
Halar Coated Vortex Seal Tite Diverter to Handle Acid Flake
For the corrosive nature of the material handled all internal areas of the valve are Halar coated. Material contact is 316L stainless steel, polymer, and rubber. In this application, the customer specified Halar coating on a 254 mm (10”) Vortex Seal Tite Diverter over other liner options due to past success with this product on chutes and other equipment they have in service. All internal areas were Halar coated to address the corrosive nature of the material being handled. The valve body, with a straight through flow design and one offset leg, is made from 316L stainless steel. Material contact is 316L stainless steel, polymer, and rubber. The valve has a removable access cover for quick inline service or cleaning without removing the valve from the line. The customer also requested an epoxy coated double acting air cylinder to protect from chemical corrosion. The epoxy coat is a more economical option and requires a shorter lead time than a stainless steel air cylinder. The piston rod, tie rod and tie rod nuts are stainless steel.

Seal tite diverter provides solution for uk pet food company
Seal tite diverter provides solution for uk pet food company
Based in North Scarle, Lincolnshire, UK, Grove Pet Foods is a respected manufacturer of high-quality pet foods. Grove Pet Foods has complete control over the manufacturing process from raw materials entering the site to distribution of finished packs, they can provide an unrivaled range of scientifically formulated recipes to satisfy all species and breeds. This client’s manufacturing process includes bulk storage, bulk material discharge and transfer of raw material for pet food production. The client had a need to replace a flap type diverter valve which had been in service for a considerable period of time. The existing diverter valve had reached the end of its service life and was difficult to clean and maintain due to its design. The new diverter design had to cope with a variety of sticky and abrasive feed material, with easy access for cleaning and maintainability, whilst being fast acting to allow reject material from a metal detector to be diverted out

Titan lined diverter handling dolomitic limestone rock
Titan lined diverter handling dolomitic limestone rock
This hydraulically actuated Vortex Titan-Lined Diverter features a 2690mm x 405mm transition that feeds dolomitic limestone rock to a 1220 mm x 405 mm diverter inlet and two 915mm x 405 mm outlets. Material contact areas (3 sides) contain replaceable abrasion-resistant steel liners (400 BHN). An “A-style” AR blade covers and protects the blade shaft from wear and abrasion. Two inspection ports are mounted on the inlet transition and the diverter internals are accessible through a removable cover on the actuator side. The diverter will be mounted, tilted at a 37-degree slope (actuator side up), to become part of a chute. Lifting lugs have been added to assist with the installation.

Wye Line Diverter Replaces Inconsistent Flap Diverters  Flour Milling Company in East Jawa, Indonesia
Wye Line Diverter Replaces Inconsistent Flap Diverters
Flour Milling Company in East Jawa, Indonesia It is not unusual for a flour mill to have problems with in-line flap diverters when installed in a pneumatic conveying system. The soft seals around the flap are exposed to direct blast abrasion from grist or wheat flour. This can create significant pressure drops in the conveying system, as well as line plugs once product is allowed to pass through the closed leg of the diverter. A flour milling company was experiencing these problems with the in-line flap diverters purchased when the mill was built. The product leakage from the diverters was creating conveying inefficiencies and significant downtime to uninstall the flap diverter and remove line plugs. The milling company decided to install Vortex Wye Line Diverters, which are ideally designed to overcome common problems associated with in-line flap diverters. The wye line design features a stainless steel sliding blade while maintaining a positive seal when the ports are closed. The diverter is also capable

Vortex Gravity Vee Diverter Replaces Flapper Diverter
Vortex Gravity Vee Diverter Replaces Flapper Diverter
Vortex’s client previously utilised a flapper diverter to handle baking flour. This was problematic because, depending on the position of the blade, material was constantly flowing through one of the outlets. With the Vortex Gravity Vee Diverter, materials can flow toward either outlet individually, both outlets simultaneously, or both closed for material shut-off. This dual cylinder Gravity Vee Diverter was manufactured from 316 stainless steel. The inlet contains a 610mm round hopper and the outlets are transitioned to match the install footprint. The diverter’s dual cylinder design is intended for use in limited space installations. By side-mounting the actuators, the gate’s overall length is shortened by a third.

Seal Tite Diverter Handling Food Grade Plastic Divert sticky material from one source to two destinations
Seal Tite Diverter Handling Food Grade Plastic
Divert sticky material from one source to two destinations A producer of food grade plastic bags and packaging wrap for foods was in search of a solution for a problematic application. At one point in the operation hot, sticky plastic pellets are required to be diverted from a receiving hopper to either of two process lines. Diverters previously utilized were problematic in the fact that they had to be removed from service and cleaned frequently. Downtime was a major expense. After reviewing the application, The Vortex engineering team determined a Seal Tite Gravity Diverter could be modified to provide the best solution to the customers needs. A Vortex 2-way Seal Tite Gravity Diverter was engineered and manufactured to meet many application criteria. Food grade Viton rubber vane seals and Florisant 207 shaft seals were used to accommodate the 232°C to 260°C temperatures present. Special sight glasses were crafted in the legs of the Seal Tite. Through these, maintenance personnel make regular checks during the day
