Two-way valves to divert or converge conveyed streams
The precision-machined PST30 diverter valve (photo) is designed to prevent contamination and provide line switching for either dilute- or dense-phase conveying. The two-way PST30 valve operates as a one-to-two way diverting valve or a two-to-one way converging valve in a pneumatic conveying system for powdered or granular materials. Operation is simplified with the actuator rotating the plug forwards and backwards, which easily positions the plug to either the divert ports or the straight-through ports. The PST30 can also serve as a drop-in replacement for customers currently operating with this company’s Flo-tronics PV30 valves. No changes in existing air lines or wiring are required as a result of replacement, says the company. Booth 1429 — Schenck Process, Kansas City, Mo.
