Manual Diverter Valve for Two-Way Bulk Handling
The Rotolok Manual Conveying Diverter reroutes powders, pellets, and granular materials from one discharge point to another with minimal pressure drop and high sealing efficiency. It is operated by hand, so it needs no compressed air or electrical supply; a simple, low-maintenance choice for lines where the route is set for a production run rather than switched continuously.
Designed to meet the manual conveying industry’s requirement to re-route powder, pellets, or granules from one discharge point to another, the unit is a flap-type diverter built for standard two-way diversion. The flap seals tightly across the divert angle, and higher line pressure improves the seal. The valve is dust-tight to 20 p.s.i.
The manual diverter valve is used across bulk material handling systems, on both gravity and pneumatic conveying lines, wherever material needs to be directed to one destination or another on demand. Its compact design, small divert angle and smooth internals keep the footprint tight and the flow clean, while flanged or spigotted ends allow it to be fitted straight into existing ductwork. A wide range of materials is available to suit the process, and the design gives easy access for inspection and maintenance.
Rotolok manufacture a full range of diverters — Flap, Plug and Weigh — covering the applications across the conveying industry. For standard two-way diversion, Rotolok specify the flap-type range this manual diverter belongs to. Where a line needs automated or remote changeover rather than hand operation, the Pneumatic Conveying Diverter provides the same function with an actuator. For abrasive or high-pressure duties, see the Plug Diverter; and for small bulk-handling systems, the Weigh Valve. Full details of the complete diverter range are in the diverters overview.
