Bucket Diverter Valve Application Information
The Bucket Diverter Valves are designed for mounting on a gravity discharge line to divert from a single inlet to one of two outlets and were cross venting is not a problem
The Young Industries, Inc. Bucket Diverter Valves are used in a wide variety of gravity flow bulk material applications were cross contamination and inter-venting is not a problem.
The Bucket Diverter is designed for a 2 PSIG internal or external pressure. It is available in standard sizes from 4" through 16" square flange sizes. Round flange are available.
Two Models of the Bucket Diverter Valve are offered. One model has 30°diversion leg offset and the other has a 45 °diversion leg offset. The change of direction is accomplished by changing the position of the bucket diverter plate from one line to the other by a rotary actuator.
The Bucket Diverter Valve has heavy construction along and the valve's actuator is direct coupled to the bucket shaft . This arrangement distributes torque directly to the bucket shaft, eliminating stress to the valve components.This keeps production loss, downtime and maintenance cost to a minimum.
Flange Mounted Bearing provide a smooth operation.
"O" ring seals on each end of the bucket shaft prevent dust leakage to exterior. The flange mounted bearing provide smooth and rugged operation.
The Young industries Bucket Diverter Valves are available with a variety of features to handle a wide range of process requirements.
