Model BDV – Bucket Diverter
The Young Industries, Inc. Bucket Diverter Valves, are used in a wide variety of gravity flow bulk material applications where cross contamination is not a problem. The Bucket Diverter Valves are designed with one diversion leg offset either 30° or 45° from the inlet leg.
Flange Mounted Bearing provide a smooth operation.
“O” ring seals on each end of the bucket shaft prevent dust leakage to the exterior. The flange mounted bearing provide smooth and rugged operation.
The Bucket Diverter Valve is offered either as 30°diversion leg offset, or as 45° diversion leg offset. The change of direction is accomplished by changing the position of the bucket diverter plate from one line to the other by a rotary actuator.
Description
The Bucket Diverter Valve has heavy construction, and the valve’s actuator is directly coupled to the bucket shaft . This arrangement distributes torque directly to the bucket shaft, eliminating stress to the valve components. This keeps production loss, downtime and maintenance cost to a minimum.
As a result, the Young Industries, Bucket Diverter Valves have been proven to provide superior performance and reliability in a wide range of bulk materials handling applications, thus offering low cost of ownership.
Application Information
- The Bucket Diverter Valves are designed for mounting on a gravity discharge line to divert from a single inlet to one of two outlets and were cross venting is not a problem
- The Young Industries, Inc. Bucket Diverter Valves, are used in a wide variety of gravity flow bulk material applications were cross contamination and inter-venting is not a problem.
- The Bucket Diverter is designed for a 2 PSIG internal or external pressure. It is available in standard sizes from 4″ through 16″ square flange sizes. Round flange are available.
- Two Models of the Bucket Diverter Valve are offered. One model has 30°diversion leg offset and the other has a 45° diversion leg offset. The change of direction is accomplished by changing the position of the bucket diverter plate from one line to the other by a rotary actuator.
