Wye Line Diverter Valve

Wye Line Diverter Valve is a core pipeline switching device customized for solid materials (powder, granules, powder-granule mixtures) and some fluid media conveying systems. Based on the company's years of experience in valve manufacturing and material conveying technology, it uses "precision orifice plate valve core" as the core and adopts a three-way layout with one inlet and two outlets or two inlets and one outlet. It can flexibly realize the functions of media flow direction switching, diversion and merging. It also has the advantages of wear resistance, reliable sealing, low flow resistance and convenient operation. It is manufactured in strict accordance with the relevant standards of GB/T 9092, API 598 and ISO 9001. It is suitable for multiple working conditions from normal pressure to high pressure and is widely used in chemical, metallurgical, new energy, mining, grain processing, engineering machinery and other industries. It completely solves the industry pain points such as media switching jamming, leakage, high flow resistance and inaccurate reversal, simplifies pipeline layout and improves the operating efficiency of conveying system.

As a key switching hub in media delivery systems, this product's three core functions work together to connect different pipeline systems, enabling flexible media control while ensuring operational stability and ease of use, and adapting to the media delivery process requirements of various scenarios:

Precise flow direction switching : The valve core is rotatable precision orifice plate. The valve core can be rotated 90° by the actuator to quickly switch the flow direction of the medium. It is suitable for pipeline layout with one inlet and two outlets or two inlets and one outlet. The pipeline angle can be selected as 30°, 45° or 60° according to the requirements. No additional valve combination is required, which simplifies the pipeline layout and is suitable for frequently switching process flow. The valve core action position is accurately detected by the limit detection switch to ensure that the switch is in place and without deviation, avoiding misoperation.

Efficient diversion and merging : The design of the orifice plate flow channel is optimized, and the flow channel and orifice are precisely matched. It can accurately realize the splitting of one medium into two outputs or the merging of two mediums into one output. The flow channel has no dead corners and no residues, avoiding the accumulation of medium. It is suitable for conveying different flow rates, ensuring uniform distribution of medium and guaranteeing the stability of the production process. It is especially suitable for continuous conveying of powder and granular materials and precise distribution of fluid media.

Wear-resistant sealing and leak prevention : A special sealing structure is adopted, and a special sealing scheme can be configured according to the pressure sealing requirements. The soft seal uses high molecular materials such as PTFE and PEEK, and the hard seal uses wear-resistant and high-temperature resistant materials such as Stellite alloy and tungsten carbide to achieve a tight seal, effectively blocking the leakage of the medium and the entry of air, avoiding material waste, fluid loss and workshop dust pollution; the surface of the orifice plate valve core is precisely treated and combined with a smooth flow channel design to completely eliminate the medium jamming and accumulation, and is suitable for the conveying and switching of high viscosity, easy-to-cab materials and corrosive fluids.

1. Orifice plate valve core, precise switching and low flow resistance.

The core adopts a precision orifice plate valve core, which is processed by a CNC five-axis linkage machining center. The coaxiality of the hole system is ≤0.01mm, and the hole diameter is precisely matched to the conveying requirements. The inner wall of the flow channel is precision polished (polishing accuracy can reach 400#), smooth and clean, with no dead corners of media residue, which can effectively reduce the flow resistance of the medium and reduce the energy consumption of the system. The valve core rotates smoothly and is accurately positioned by the limit detection switch. Switching is smooth and without deviation. It is suitable for multiple scenarios such as gravity unloading reversal, pneumatic conveying pipeline reversal and fluid pipeline switching. The reversal response speed is fast and it is suitable for frequent switching conditions.

2. Reliable sealing, suitable for various pressure and temperature conditions.

The soft or hard seal structure can be flexibly configured according to the working conditions: the soft seal is suitable for low pressure and clean media (such as food and pharmaceutical industries), with a temperature range of -20℃ to 200℃, achieving zero leakage (compliant with ANSI Class VI standard); the hard seal is suitable for high pressure, high temperature and high wear conditions, with a temperature resistance of ≤500℃, and a working pressure that can cover atmospheric pressure to high pressure above 0.35MPa, and can be adapted to Class 600 (about 10MPa) high pressure conditions. It can operate without leakage and wear for a long time, meeting the sealing requirements of different pressure and temperature scenarios.

3. Wear-resistant and durable, with a long service life.

The valve body and orifice plate valve core are precision cast from cast steel and stainless steel (304, 316L, CF8/CF8M optional), with a robust structure, high strength and not easy to deform, and beautiful appearance; the valve core surface is hardened or hard alloy welded (HRC≥55), and some models adopt QPQ or hard anodizing process, which can effectively resist the high-speed scouring of powder and granular materials and the erosion of corrosive fluids, and are suitable for high wear and strong corrosion conditions; the bearing seat adopts an isolation sealing design to prevent the medium from entering, extend the life of core components, and reduce the later maintenance cost.

4. Easy to operate, quick response and controllable

It supports both manual and pneumatic drive modes. Manual drive is labor-saving and flexible to switch. Pneumatic drive controls the actuator through a solenoid valve, which can achieve second-level switching. It supports remote control and automation linkage, is compatible with industrial automation production lines, and does not require manual on-site operation, which greatly improves production efficiency. The two positions of the valve core are directly detected by the limit detection switch to ensure accurate switching and avoid production failures caused by reversing deviation.

5. Complete range of diameters, strong installation adaptability

The nominal diameter covers DN50～DN800 (2"～32"), which can meet the medium conveying needs of different flow rates and is suitable for large flow powder, granular material and fluid conveying scenarios. The interface adopts GB/T 9113, ANSI B16.5 (150lb) standard flange connection, which can be seamlessly connected with various pneumatic conveying systems, storage equipment and conveying pipelines. During installation, it is necessary to ensure that the front face of the throttling device and its clamping flange is perpendicular to the pipeline axis, the opening of the throttling device and the clamping flange are concentric with the pipeline, and the sealing gasket must not protrude into the inner wall of the pipeline. It supports horizontal and vertical installation methods. Users can choose the appropriate installation angle according to the needs of the conveying pipeline without complicated modification and has strong adaptability.

6. Easy to maintain and low operating costs

The modular design allows for the separate disassembly and replacement of vulnerable parts such as valve cores and seals, eliminating the need to disassemble the entire valve and significantly improving maintenance efficiency. The standardized configuration of vulnerable parts makes procurement convenient, and they are wear-resistant and durable, reducing the frequency of replacement. The equipment operates with low vibration and noise, and has a low failure rate, allowing for long-term continuous operation. This significantly reduces downtime maintenance costs and labor input, making it suitable for 24-hour continuous production needs. At the same time, the component layout is easy to access, facilitating later adjustments and maintenance.
