Grain flow diverters

Diverter valves are mechanical devices used to control and redirect the flow of grain in gravity-based transport systems. They are installed along gravity pipes, hoppers, or silos and allow for:

• Changing the direction of flow

• Stopping or regulating the flow

• Distributing grain to different lines, silos, buffers, or machines
   

  Technical Specifications

• Made of galvanized or painted steel

• Available in round, square, or rectangular cross-sections

• Can be bolted or welded

• Some models include dampers to reduce grain velocity and minimize damage
   

  Types of Valves
  By flow direction

• Two-way valves – allow selection between two flow paths

• Three-way valves – allow selection between three flow paths
  
  By actuation method:

• Manual valves – cost-effective, operated by lever or remotely via rope

• Electromechanical valves – motor-driven, suitable for process automation in grain facilities

Pneumatic valves – operated by pneumatic cylinders and distributors, ideal for automated grain handling systems

By flow configuration
Depending on the flow configuration, diverter valves are available in the following types:

• KDW type – designed to split the grain flow into two directions at a 45° angle
• KDY type – designed for one vertical flow path and one 45° angled outlet
