Working Principle

✅ Powder is transported by air slide airflow
✅ Diverter plate shifts to change the material route
✅ Only one line opens while the other remains sealed
✅ Powder flows smoothly without interruption

By combining gravity conveying with controlled sealing movement, the diverter ensures that only one discharge path is open at a time. This design prevents cross-contamination, reduces dust emission, and maintains stable material flow during route switching.

Application

Air slide diverters are typically integrated into air slide conveyor systems to manage powder flow distribution between multiple downstream processes. By precisely switching material routes, they help optimize silo discharge, batching accuracy, and bulk material transfer efficiency.
In cement plants and bulk powder handling facilities, air slide diverters are commonly installed upstream of packing machines, bulk loading systems, or storage silos, ensuring controlled and reliable powder flow without interrupting continuous conveying operations.

Typical installation points include cement silos, batching systems, powder loading terminals, and air slide conveyor networks requiring accurate flow distribution.
