Vortex Seal Tite Diverter vs. Alternatives<\/p>\n
\u2022 Many alternative flap diverters have sealed bodies, which limits interior access. In order to perform inspection and\/or maintenance, the diverter must be removed from the process line so that its internal mechanisms can be accessed. This can lead to expensive and extensive production downtime. To allow in-line inspection and\/or maintenance, the Vortex\u00ae Seal Tite Diverter\u2122 is designed with a removable access panel that can be removed using simple tools.This feature is especially beneficial in sanitary applications where frequent interior access is required for proper sanitation, or in abrasive applications where interior access is required for wear part maintenance. The removable access panel feature significantly reduces downtime by accelerating the maintenance process. \u2022 Many alternative flap diverters are designed so that the leading edge of the blade(s) is constantly exposed to the material flow stream, creating wear and abrasion to the blade(s) and seal(s). If wear is significant, it can allow material leakage into the opposite chute(s), in addition to frequent wear part maintenance. To address these concerns, the Seal Tite Diverter is designed with recessed areas so that the leading edge of the blade(s) is shielded from the material flow stream. \u2022 Many alternative flap diverters have thin elastomer seals adhered to the perimeter of the blade(s). Over time, the thin seals erode or tear away from the blade(s) and allow material leakage into the opposite chute(s). The Seal Tite Diverter addresses this concern by incorporating a blade seal constructed from a full sheet of durable rubber. Rather than adhering thin seal strips around the perimeter of the blade, the robust seal sheet is compressed between two metal plates which form the flapper blade. This design ensures the blade seals will not tear away in service, and will provide a positive seal of materials\/dust-tight seal over time. \u2022 Many alternative flap diverters do not have seals beneath the blade shaft(s). This creates a significant opening for material migration into the opposite chute(s). Especially in perishable applications, this can foster cross-contamination and spoilage beneath the blade shaft(s). Also, without blade shaft seals, the blade shaft(s) is subjected to material-assisted abrasion, resulting in frequent wear part maintenance. The Seal Tite Diverter addresses these issues byincorporating “live loaded” hard polymer blade shaft seal(s). Hard polymer provides greater wear resistance and longer service life than alternative sealing materials. The hard polymer seal(s) is “live loaded” with compressed rubber backing to ensure even as the polymer experiences frictional wear from many actuations over time, the rubber load seals continuously force the polymer seal(s) upward against the blade shaft(s). The seal(s) is also shielded from the material flow stream, to protect it from abrasion. This design maintains the diverter’s positive seal of materials\/dust-tight seal with infrequent maintenance intervention. \u2022 Many alternative flap diverters are designed with irreplaceable wetted parts. Once a primary wetted part is worn significantly, the entire diverter must be replaced. To resolve this cost-eectiveness issue, the Seal Tite Diverter is designed with replaceable wetted parts that can be accessed in-line. This includes actuator(s), flapper blade(s) and blade seal(s), and the blade shaft seal(s), among others. If maintained and operated as recommended, these should be the diverter’s only wear parts. In several cases, this has allowed a Seal Tite Diverter to remain in service for many years \u2013 and sometimes, even decades.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
