Item # VAR 100, VAR Drum-Type Diverter Valves

The VAR Diverter Valve consists of a cast aluminum casing and cover, an inlet and two outlets. The rotating internal drum optionally closes one of two outlets which are connected with pneumatic conveying ducts. The rotation of the internal drum is activated by means of a pneumatic actuator. Perfect sealing is guaranteed by internal pneumatically inflatable seals.

VAR Diverter Valves are suitable for conveying any type of powdery or granular material. By means of the pneumatic actuator, which activates the rotating inner drum, the commutation of the tubular exit and, consequently, deviation of the material flow from one duct to another is obtained.
