New 2 & 3 Way Diverter Valves from DMN

It all started with the introduction of the M-TDV multi-port tube type diverter in 2000. For this diverter DMN looked at the options to have a pneumatic mechanical drive or an electrical drive. The choice was for the latter, due to simplicity of construction, minimum wear parts and precision positioning.

The new 2-TDV from DMN Westinghouse is of a considerably different design from the 'old' TDVDMN already has a two-way tube type diverter, which has been in its product offering since 1996 and was due for re-evaluation with regard to the requirements of today. It was thus decided to design and produce a 2- and 3-way diverter of similar construction to the M-TDV. The M-TDV is available with up to 24 ports on the smaller pipe sizes; therefore the new 2- and 3-TDV seamlessly connect with the M-TDV range.

Product of the Month:

Acoustic Cleaners Aid Silo Discharge

Acoustic Cleaning encompasses the realm of sound transmission through solids. It is best described by the creation of rapid pressure fluctuations. These pressure fluctuations are transmitted into the particulate matter or "bonded" dry material causing the solid particles to resonate and dislodge from the surface they are deposited on or bonded to. Once dislodged, the materials fall, either due to gravity or are carried away by the gas or air stream within the process..
