Vortex Fill Pass Diverter Designed for Closed Loop Systems

The Fill Pass Diverter provides a versatile and reliable method for filling one or more “in-line” weigh hoppers when material is conveyed pneumatically through a closed loop system.

The original Vortex-designed Fill Pass Diverter can be applied to divert material flow of non-abrasive to moderately abrasive powders, granulars, or pellets. It is specifically engineered to divert dry bulk solids in a vacuum or dilute phase pneumatic conveying system with pressure up to 1 bar.

The diverter allows the convenience of continuous conveying, without having to shut down the conveying line to shift ports. The Vortex diverter has “live loaded” wear compensating seals that self-clean on each actuation. The diverter also has seal plates that are shielded from blast abrasion allowing the diverter to positively seal air and material over its service life. It is stackable to accommodate multiple conveying lines in the milling, food, plastic, chemical and mineral industries.

For more than 35 years, Vortex has provided quality Slide Gates, Diverters, and Iris Valves designed specifically for handling dry bulk solids in gravity, vacuum, dilute, or dense phase applications. Vortex Valves are engineered for dependability, durability, easy maintenance, and offer proven solutions to material handling and process efficiency problems. With an in-house team of engineers, Vortex Valves can be completely customised for individual applications or special installations.
