Gravity Flow Divider

Gravity Flow Diverter

✔ Gravity flow diverters are used for automatically redirecting product streams between different processing units in the production process.

Construction and Key Components

✔ Valve Housing – Made of stainless steel, aluminum, or food-grade plastic, with an optional polished interior to minimize friction and prevent material buildup.

✔ Sealing and Guiding Elements:

Internal dual-plate damper with polyurethane sealing for airtight operation.

Rotary mechanisms for precise flow direction control.

✔ Actuation Mechanism:

Pneumatic actuator with a pneumatic cylinder controlled by a solenoid valve.

Lever system connected to the main spindle for smooth damper movement.

✔ Sealing Components:

Special rings and gaskets prevent air and product leakage.

✔ Position Sensors:

Track the current position of the damper and transmit data to the automation system.

The controller regulates valve operation and integrates it into the production process.

Operating Principle

✔ Receiving Signal – The control system sends a command to change the product flow direction.

✔ Actuator Activation – The pneumatic actuator moves the damper, opening or closing the required channel.

✔ Flow Redirection – The product is directed to the designated location according to production requirements.

✔ Process Monitoring – Sensors track execution accuracy, and the controller confirms the result.

Advantages

✅ Flexible Flow Control – Fast and precise redirection of product movement.

✅ Process Automation – Integration with the control system enhances production efficiency.

✅ Reliability and Durability – High-quality materials ensure long-term operation without loss of functionality.

✅ Hygienic Design – Airtight sealing and food-safe materials prevent product contamination.

Technical Specifications
