Gravity discharge diverter valves are designed to divert gravity flow of bulk solids from one feeding point to two or more receiving points. Bulk material in powdered, pellet, flake or granular form falls freely through the diverter valve. Wear resistant swivel flap is used for diverting the flow inside the valve. Depending on the application it consists of a flexible poliurethane rubber which is sandwiched between two metal plates for better sealing. Flap type diverter valves are installed on outlets of dry bulk storage silos, bins, chutes, conveyors and similar equipment.
