Diverter Valves in Western Canada for Pneumatic Conveying Systems
Serving Calgary, Alberta & Western Canada with high-performance diverter valves for bulk material handling.
If your operation requires routing materials to multiple destinations, our diverter valves provide reliable, airtight switching for pneumatic conveying systems. Designed for abrasive materials, continuous operation, and harsh Canadian environments, these valves help improve efficiency while reducing system complexity.
What is a Diverter Valve?
A diverter valve (or switching valve) is used in pneumatic conveying systems to direct material flow from one line to multiple destinations, such as silos, bins, or processing equipment.
This allows you to:
Use a single conveying line for multiple endpoints
Reduce capital equipment costs
Improve system flexibility and automation
Key Benefits
Accurate material routing with minimal leakage
Reduced cross-contamination between product lines
Compatible with PLC and automated systems
Designed for pressure and vacuum conveying
Built for abrasive and heavy-duty applications
Types of Diverter Valves
Plug Diverter Valves
Rotating internal plug redirects flow
Superior sealing for powders and fine materials
Ideal for high-pressure pneumatic conveying
Flap Diverter Valves
Internal flap mechanism
Simple, economical solution
Best for granular or free-flowing materials
Gravity Diverter Valves
Used in non-pressurized systems
Common in chutes, hoppers, and gravity-fed processes
