Pivoting Chute Diverter

The Vortex® Pivoting Chute Diverter™ is designed to handle abrasive materials in gravity-flow applications. The Pivoting Chute Diverter is dust-tight to the atmosphere, can be shifted “on the fly,” and is available in 2-way and 3-way configurations.

• Can be used to split the flow
• Removable access panel for in-line inspection and maintenance
• Inlet chute to better direct the flow of material through the pivoting chute
• Unobstructed chutes for unrestricted material flow
• Replaceable parts to extend service life
• A replaceable wear and containment bar protects against abrasion and prevents material from migrating into the opposite outlet chute(s)
• No pinch points or exposed moving parts for safety
• No internal cavities to prevent wedging, lodging, and spoilage
• Designed for wear and abrasion resistance
