BASKET DIVERTER
Cleveland Armstrong's® Basket
Diverter (BD) provides enhanced performance when compared to a single blade
diverter at a very competitive cost. Its capabilities includes:
- Zero leakage to the closed leg
when applied in gravity flow dry bulk solids applications.
- Zero leakage is attained without
the use of elastomer seals greatly minimizing maintenance
requirements.
- No cross-contamination due to
the elimination of pockets, crevices and ledges in the product flow
surfaces.
- Balanced Basket design for lower
actuating force requirements

This unit is ideal for diverting gravity flow of
materials when it is not critical to have complete sealing between legs or where
cutting through a standing column of material is not
required.
BASKET DIVERTER
FEATURES
- Inside the diverter housing, a "basket" is installed on a pivot shaft. This internal basket will direct the
material to the discharge leg that has been selected by the position of the
actuator.
- Body material thickness - 3/16" - up
to and including 24" size.
- Basket material and throat 240 BHN AR.
(Other material construction is available).
- Two bolt flange bearings are used to
support the basket.
- Bolted door for basket removal.
- Basket removal door consists of a
lining plate, which allows a flush surface on the inside and provides
alignment.
- Gasketed and bolted access/inspection
door or doors are provided where feasible.
- Basket throat reduces in size, so that
the throat discharges below the sidewalls of the "basket".
- Important feature: The "basket" does
not leak to closed leg. Also, it does not retain product except for the
fugitive dust generated by the free fall of the product passing through the
unit.
- To date, we have baskets handling the
following materials: *Silica sand; *Flyash; Plastic Pellets; *Zinc Dust; Soda
Ash; *Cement.
We have found that you can make a "diverter tree", by stacking three (3) Offset Basket Diverters in series. With
this set-up, you can achieve a "four-point" discharge diverter. Thus,
another product has been added to your PEBCO® product line. We
have planted "diverter trees" in the products marked above with an
asterisk.
BASKET DIVERTER
BENEFITS
PEBCO® Basket Type
Diverter Valves are diverter valves consisting of a flanged two-way chute,
operator, and diversion basket.
The PEBCO® Basket
Diverter is available in various configurations.
The Basket Diverter provides three (3)
essential benefits:
- There is no product leakage to the
closed leg. This is accomplished without the use of elastomer seals.
This in turn provides extremely low maintenance requirements.
- The inlet throat, basket and outlet leg "design and interface" provides smooth flow surfaces without ledges or
pockets. This eliminates material build up and possible cross
contamination from carryover when shifting the diverter.
- The balanced Basket design requires
much lower actuating forces. This, in turn, reduces actuator size and
minimizes energy consumption.
