This diverter valve benefits from recent upgrades
The second-generation PT45 Valve (photo) introduces new features, such as adjustable alignment stops located in the housing, position indication from the tunnel itself, additional actuation options, and external-tunnel position indication. A positive food-grade rubber-silicone seal at each port is designed to prevent contamination. Additional features include 45-deg port-to-port rotation, a two-way switching capability for either dilute-phase or dense-phase conveying applications, cast iron or aluminum housing and other features. A pneumatic actuator provides a 2–4-s actuation time between ports. — Schenck Process LLC, Whitewater, Wis.
