Model B – Swing Gate
The Young Industries, Inc. Model “B” Swing Gate Diverter Valve, are used in a wide variety of pneumatic conveyor applications. The valve can be used in either a positive or negative pneumatic conveyors
The Model “B” Diverter Valves are designed with one diversion leg offset 30° from the straight through leg. The Model “B” Valve provide the lowest leakage is the industry. A leakage of 1 SCFM or less air or gas leakage per valve size is guaranteed by Young Industries. For example, the maximum leakage for a 6″ diameter valve is less than 6 SCFM.
Lowest leakage in the industry.
description
All the sealing surfaces in the swing gate diverter are precision machined. The swing gate is made of heavy duty cast construction and has Teflon sealing strips located on each side. “O” rings are used for sealing at the gate shaft seal. White neoprene sealing strips are located in the valve housing providing a tight seal around the swing gate.
The diverter valve’s gate shaft is supported by ball bearings, assuring proper alignment of the gate to the housing. The diverter valve’s actuator is direct coupled to the gate shaft. This arrangement distributes torque directly to the gate shaft, eliminating stress to the valve components.
Maintenance and cleaning can be done without removing the valve from the convey line.
Access to Young Industries Model “B” Swing Gate Diverter Valve is through the removable side plates. This can be done without removing the valve from the system piping. This keeps production loss and downtime for cleaning and maintenance cost to a minimum.
Application Information
- The Model “B” Diverter Valve are used in pneumatic conveyor that handle a wide range of bulk materials. The valve is designed to operate at internal and external pressures up to 15 PSIG.
- The Model “B” Swing Gate Diverter Valve can be mounted in any position without loss of efficiency. These two-way diverter valves are used for routing bulk material flow from one line to either of two lines or from two lines to one line, or connected in series to for diverting to multiple lines.
- The Model “B” Diverter Valves are designed with one diversion leg offset 30° from the straight through leg. The standard size range is 2″ through 18″ with larger sizes available upon request. The Model “B” Diverter valves are furnished standard in pipe sizes with plain ends for compression couplings. Tubing sizes, round and square flanges are available.
- The Model “B” Swing Gate Diverter Valves are available with a variety of features to handle a wide range of process requirements.
As a result, the Young Industries, Model “B” Swing Gate Diverter Valve are proven to provide superior performance and reliability in a wide range of bulk materials handling applications, and offer low cost of ownership.
