The design and construction of this valve is similar to an airlock in that the housing, closed end single blade diverting rotor and end plates are machined to tight tolerances. End plates, seals and bearings are protected from the material flow by the diverter rotor hubs and, in addition, food grade lubricant is packed into the void area between the end plates and rotor hubs. This valve is compact in size and can be used on a wide variety of products from flour to limestone. Should the valve be utilized to converge the flow of material, the rotor is then equipped with two additional rotor plates, creating a tunnel (HTV Series) to help protect the housing.
