2- and 3way flex tube diverter

Vortex Valves Flex tube diverter

The patented Vortex® Flex Tube DiverterTM is specifically engineered to handle dry bulk solids in vacuum or dilute phase pneumatic conveying systems with pressures up to 15 PSIG (1 bar). The unique design eliminates material cross contamination by a positive seal across the closed port and the elimination of internal ledges and pockets where material can lodge and remain trapped.

The 3-Way Flex Tube DiverterTM is designed with seal plates that are shielded from blast abrasion allowing the diverter to positively seal air and material over its service life. Ordinary flapper-style diverter valves rely on soft elastomer seals, which are exposed to blast abrasion causing them to erode and tear away during service.

Rotating tunnel style diverters typically have seals that are exposed to excessive wear upon actuation making them prone to seizing and binding due to material build-up between the housing. The Vortex® 3-Way Flex Tube DiverterTM has net-running “live loaded” wear compensating seals which are self-cleaning on each actuation.

Adapting the Vortex® 3-Way Flex Tube DiverterTM to your system requirements is made easy with a wide selection of actuators, indication switches, flanges, and tube stubs. The Vortex® 3-Way Flex Tube DiverterTM also offers a wide variety of modifications to accommodate high or low temperatures, corrosive, humid, and hazardous environments.
