OVERVIEW
The single blade diverter is probably the most commonly known and used type of diverter and is often referred to as a “Flop Gate”. The basic exterior construction is quite simple and the design utilizes an interior blade, rotated by a shaft through the side of the diverter. The simplicity of this design, and others in the single blade diverter family, results in a diverter with minimal material retention properties. The blade typically includes seals that prevent material from entering the closed leg making it suitable for applications where small differential pressures exist. External bearings support the shaft which is most often driven by a lever arm and linear actuator. Rotary actuators are available but torque requirements typically make this option cost prohibitive. All diverters in the Single Blade family provide exceptional performance in flow splitting applications. This simple, rugged design has been used for almost all bulk materials in numerous applications for decades.
