Diverter
Diverter Valve – Controlled Diversion for Powders and Bulk Solids In the pharmaceutical, food, and fine chemical industries—where compliance with hygiene standards and product protection is essential—SteriValves has developed the Diverter valve, engineered in accordance with FDA and EHEDG guidelines.
The Diverter valve enables gravitational diversion of powders and granulates toward two different process or packaging lines, optimizing production flow management and reducing both downtime and operating costs.
Fully constructed from mirror-polished stainless steel, the valve features a hygienic design with no dead zones, facilitating cleaning, sanitization, and maintenance—even in the most strictly regulated environments.
The Diverter valve is the ideal solution for diverting high-value bulk solids, ensuring process safety, product integrity, and operational flexibility in systems where reliability is critical.
Product properties
Application
The Diverter valve is designed for applications in the pharmaceutical, fine chemical, and food sectors where controlled diversion of bulk solid materials is required. Common uses include:
- Gravity distribution systems for powders, granulates, pellets, and solid blends.
- Loading and unloading lines for silos, mixers, hoppers, and dryers.
- Systems with compact or space-constrained configurations, thanks to its space-saving design.
Function
The valve enables precise and alternate diversion of materials to two different process or packaging lines. This function is essential to:
- Optimize production times by enabling continuous operation.
- Prevent cross-contamination through dead-zone-free internal surfaces.
- Maintain product integrity by ensuring a regular and controlled flow.
- Constructed from high-grade stainless steel, the valve ensures strong compatibility with sanitary environments, even when handling high-value products.
Solution
The Diverter valve provides a reliable and hygienic response to diversion needs in regulated production processes:
- FDA-certified and EHEDG-compliant, ensuring adherence to the most stringent standards.
- Monobloc, weld-free construction minimizes critical contamination points.
- Each component is traceable and made with certified materials, ensuring quality and reliability.
- Intuitive, compact design allows easy installation even in tight spaces and simplifies maintenance.
Advantages and Customer Benefits
- Increased production efficiency: fast and accurate flow diversion, reduced downtime, and enhanced operational continuity.
- Reduced operating costs: quick maintenance and cleaning, fewer shutdowns, simplified installation.
- Long-term reliability: high-quality materials, mechanical strength, and hygienic internal finish.
- Compliance and safety: designed for environments under strict regulatory control (FDA, cGMP, EHEDG).
