Vortex Fill Pass Diverter for Dust-Tight Pneumatic Conveying

3 Aug 2026  |
The Vortex Fill Pass Diverter is specifically engineered to handle dry bulk solids in vacuum or dilute phase pneumatic conveying systems, with pressures up to 15 psig (1 barg) depending on size.

Designed to fill one or more tanks or scale hoppers in a closed loop system, this diverter delivers reliable, dust-tight performance for non-abrasive to moderately abrasive powders, pellets, and granules. This animation walks through the diverter’s key features and capabilities, including extended service life, dust-free technology, accurate material scaling, air displacement, and Fill/Pass mode operation.

Live loaded hard polymer seals mechanically self-clean with each actuation, maintaining a positive, dust-tight seal that protects hoppers and the surrounding environment from material leakage. The spread stack inlet and outlet design creates a cyclonic effect for improved air and material separation, reducing fill times and minimizing downstream material carryover.

A double-acting air cylinder provides instant response to actuation commands, enabling highly accurate and repeatable scaling. Diverters are stackable, allowing multiple convey lines to route toward a common source in a compact configuration. FDA-compliant materials make this diverter well-suited for food and beverage applications. Available in a wide variety of sizes and modifications.
