Vortex Gravity Vee Diverting Grains Used In Rice Crisp and Rice Cake Production

The equipment pictured below is the Vortex Gravity Vee Diverter. Its distinctive "dual gate" design, equipped with independent controls, enables a versatile material flow. This innovation allows for the simultaneous diversion of material through both outlet chutes, individual chute control, or even a complete shut-off when necessary. The diverter's mechanically actuated sliding blades promise uncompromising positive material shut-off and prevent seal packing, ensuring operational longevity. Its hard polymer bonnet seals and side seals outperform alternative sealing materials, providing superior wear resistance and an extended service life. For precision and repeatability in batchweights during the manufacturing process, the Gravity Vee Diverter can be outfitted with Vortex material flow control assemblies. This model includes an Adjustable Variable Postion (AVP) air control setup which allows for 2 or more positions that are controlled via the magnetic reed switch feedback. In this case the Gravity Vee is setup for 3 positions. The Gravity Vee also includes a manual Cylinder Variable Position Open (CVPO) modification to each of the cylinders. Each threaded rod sticking out of the cylinder can be adjusted to create a manual preferred stop point to limit the amount the blade is able to open.
