3-Way Diverter Valves, Seamlessly Divert Materials and Optimize Bulk Handling!

4 Apr 2025  |
At Lorenz Conveying Products, we specialize in manufacturing high-performance 3-Way Diverter Valves designed for vacuum and dilute phase conveying.

Lorenz offers customizable solutions to handle powders, pellets, and granules efficiently while ensuring seamless flow and durability. With sizes ranging from 1.5” OD to 8” OD, our Diverter Valves provide industry-leading flexibility and reliability in pneumatic conveying systems across multiple industries.

Industry-Specific Applications

✔️ Chemical Processing – Handles abrasive and corrosive materials with durable stainless steel or carbon steel construction.
✔️ Food & Pet Food – Hygienic design with polished stainless steel options and Air Purge to prevent contamination.
✔️ Grain Milling – Designed for high-volume bulk handling, reducing degradation in wheat, flour, and grain applications.
✔️ Plastics & Packaging – Optimized for smooth flow of resins, pellets, and powders, reducing buildup and system wear.

Built for Performance & Versatility

Our 3-Way Diverter Valves are designed to divert materials from a single source to multiple destinations, making them an essential component in bulk material handling systems. Designed for horizontal or vertical installations, these valves allow you to divert the blade with product in the stream, reducing downtime and maximizing efficiency.

Key construction materials include aluminum, stainless steel, or carbon steel, allowing you to select the best option based on abrasion resistance, durability, and application requirements. The lightweight aluminum sealed housing combined with a polished stainless steel blade provides corrosion resistance, positive sealing, and long-lasting performance.

Maximizing Efficiency with Customizable Features

Lorenz Diverter Valves are designed with optional coupling connections, enhancing installation flexibility for a perfect fit within your existing system. To improve efficiency and prevent product degradation, the valve ensures unobstructed material flow, which helps maintain optimal system performance.

Our Lorenz Standard options include:
✔️ Single and Double-acting, cushioned air cylinders for smooth operation
✔️ Internal magnets & solenoid options for automated control
✔️ Manual or pneumatic actuation for various system requirements
✔️ High-temperature solutions for demanding environments

Air Purge System: Essential for Powder Conveying

For applications handling fine powders, we highly recommend our Air Purge option, which prevents material from passing into the body cavity—a common cause of valve failure. This simple yet highly effective solution maintains the integrity of the valve by sealing the body with a controlled air pressure gauge, ensuring it operates at 2 PSI above your line pressure.

Reliable Solutions for Any Application

Designed to perform indoors or outdoors, our Diverter Valves are built for high-temperature environments and demanding conveying applications. Whether you require a manually operated system or a fully automated pneumatic solution, Lorenz Conveying Products has the expertise to provide a tailored solution for your specific needs.
