Diverter Valve Selection Guide
Plug, plunger and damper types, working pressure ≤ 0.2 to ≤ 4 bar.
Overview
- Working pressure
- ≤ 0.2 / ≤ 2.5 / ≤ 4 bar
- Size range
- 1-1/2" ~ 20" (by model)
- Media temperature
- -10 ~ 120 °C
- Use
- Combining or splitting material flows
- Scope
- Design, supply, installation and commissioning
Diverter valves combine or split material flows in pneumatic conveying lines. We offer plug, plunger and damper types; selection depends mainly on working pressure, material, size and branch angle. We provide design, supply, installation and commissioning.
Model comparison
| Model | Design | Material | Working pressure | Size range | Standard branch angle | Material of construction |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| PDV | Plug | Pellets and powders | ≤ 4 bar | 1-1/2"–12" | 45° (other angles on request) | Body CF8 or aluminium; product-contact parts CF8 |
| GDV | Plunger | Pellets | ≤ 2.5 bar | 4"–12" | 45° | Body CF8 or aluminium; product-contact parts CF8 |
| DP/S | Damper, straight-through | Pellets and powders | ≤ 0.2 bar | 4"–20" | C45° / C60° / C90° | SS304 |
| DP/A | Damper, bypass | Pellets and powders | ≤ 0.2 bar | 4"–20" | L30° / L45° / L60° | SS304 |
Media temperature -10 ~ 120 °C. PDV and GDV flanges PN10, ANSI 150#, others on request; CF8M on request. DP/S and DP/A flanges per customer requirement. Custom sizes, flanges and materials are available on request.
How to choose
Above 2.5 bar
Choose PDV: working pressure up to 4 bar, soft seat for zero leakage, for pellets and powders.
Pellets, up to 2.5 bar
Consider GDV: few parts, low drive torque, easy to maintain.
Up to 0.2 bar
Consider DP/S or DP/A, straight-through or bypass depending on the pipeline layout.
