What’s a diverter flap valve?
The diverter flap valve is a mechanical device used for distributing and mixing materials. Its main feature is the ability to allocate materials between multiple inlets and outlets. The characteristics mainly includes the following aspects:
Material Distribution
Materials enter the diverter through three inlets. A diversion mechanism, such as rotation or swinging, distributes the materials to the three outlets according to preset proportions, completing the diversion process.
Diversion Mechanism
Typically, the interior of the diverter contains an adjustable mechanism that controls material distribution. This can be achieved by changing the size of the inlet openings or adjusting the internal rotation speed of the diverter to achieve different distribution ratios.
Automation Features
Some diverter flap valves feature automatic cleaning functions to prevent material buildup and clogging. This design improves the device’s efficiency and makes maintenance easier.
Power System
Electric actuators, hydraulic actuators, or manual mechanisms may power the diverter flap valve. These systems drive the diverter’s actions through transmission devices.

Why choose darko’s valves?
Safety Protection Mechanism
Darko equips diverter flap valves with overload protection features, such as overflow valves. These valves automatically relieve pressure when the actuator encounters resistance, ensuring the safety of the equipment and operations.
Installation and Use
Darko’s diverter flap valve connects directly to the interfaces of other equipment. It can be placed beneath the head hopper of a belt conveyor. Additionally, it can be supported as needed.
