The unique design of the Vortex\u00ae Flex Tube Diverter\u2122 eliminates material cross contamination through a positive seal across the closed port. Pockets where material can lodge and remain trapped have also been eliminated.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Can be shifted on a flowing column of materials \u2013 also known as, \u201cshifting on the fly.\u201d
\n\u2022 No material cross-contamination into the opposite line(s)
\n\u2022 Live loaded, wear compensating hard polymer pressure plate seals
\n\u2022 Positive seal of materials\/dust-tight seal across the closed line(s) and to the atmosphere
\n\u2022 Machined, full-bore orifice for unobstructed material flow and to maintain convey line pressure
\n\u2022 The \u201cscissoring\u201d action reduces seal wear and minimizes material shearing
\n\u2022 No internal cavities, to prevent wedging, lodging and spoilage
\n\u2022 No pinch points or exposed moving parts
\n\u2022 Mechanically self-cleans its seals with each actuation<\/p>\n
