INTRODUCTION
Plug type diverter valves are used in the pneumatic conveying industry to re-route powder, pellets and granules from one
discharge point to another. The Rotolok Plug Diverter can be used where Flap Valves are unsuitable due to high pressures or
abrasive duties. Plug Valves are ideal for use in high vacuum conveying systems or where severe leakage or cross contamination
cannot be tolerated.
The Valve consists of a rugged cast body which houses a cast plug between a pair of end covers. The material handled passes
from one port through the parallel machined bore within the plug to either of the two outlet ports. The outlet port is selected by
rotating the plug through 150°. Rotation is alternately clockwise and counter-clockwise and is achieved by means of a double
acting torque actuator.
To prevent cross contamination, each leg has an individual PTFE seal to the plug which is pressurised by a gland follower
arrangement and is accessible, adjustable and replaceable externally.
The plug and body are precision machined using the latest CNC technology to ensure reliability and sealing efficiency.
The valve has no dead-leg, smooth internals ensure no lodgement points to minimise turbulence and therefore ensuring line
efficiency is kept to a maximum.
Pipe connections can be supplied as either plain pipe ends or flanged as required.
