Diverters

Diverters can significantly enhance the operational efficiency and flexibility of solids processing plants. By enabling multiple start or end points to be served by a single conveying line, diverters help reduce investment costs and increase system adaptability.

For example, raw materials can be unloaded from sacks or big bags and transported further using the same conveyor. Alternating the flow to different receiving stations maximizes the use of the conveyor system and improves energy efficiency.

Diverter flaps for downpipes allow for easy switching of the bulk material flow. Whether it is to divert unusable material or to feed multiple mixers from one hopper, diverters from Hosokawa Solids Solutions offer a reliable and efficient solution.

• Diverter Flaps, type VDP: Designed for switching a vertical bulk material flow in a downpipe (two or three ways), available in symmetrical or asymmetrical designs and adaptable to different cross-sections.
• Diverter Flaps, type VDP-Hygienic-Dry: Ideal for hygienic and dry environments, this diverter flap complies with the 2006/42/EC Machinery Directive and GMP requirements. It is easy to dismantle and clean thanks to the removable housing cover with a quick-release ring and plug-in flap. Assembly is simple and cost-effective, with the flap easily removable without tools. It also features self-cleaning by rotating the flap 270°.
• Multi-Way Diverters, type MWW: Designed for pneumatic pressure conveying lines or merging of vacuum conveying lines. Choose from configurations with up to 20 outlets, smooth and shock-free material passage, piggable designs, and options for abrasive-resistant and non-adhesive designs.
• Two-Way Diverters, type ZWW: Compact and efficient, these diverters feature two outlets with smooth, shock-free material passage. They are also available in abrasive-resistant and non-adhesive designs.
