2.2.1 General
The DMN Fill-Vent diverter valve (Scale valve) has been specially designed to use in
small bulk handling systems whereby powders and pellets are pneumatically conveyed
to a hopper or bin which is process weighed.
Fill-Vent valves may be sited above weigh hoppers in such a way that when a
predetermined weight is reached, diversion takes place immediately. The product is
then either conveyed to the next weigh station or back to the main storage silo.
Diversion is achieved by turning the two parabolic flap seals in the body.
The unit is driven by means of an torque actuator actuated by a solenoid valve.
The Fill-Vent type diverter valve housing is cast and may be of aluminium, iron or
stainless steel, with a pipe or flange fittings.
Sealing is by means of a parabolic style blade of polyurethane or food quality material.
Indication of pipe changeover is by means of micro switches.

Permissible working pressure : -0.3 to +1 bar

2.2.3 Construction
2.2.3.1 General assembly drawing and parts list for FVV
Recommendations:
1. Maintain minimum of 5x pipe diameter between valve and product.
2. Position valve centrally or at least 3x pipe diameter from vessel sides.
3. If mounting valve on spacing piece ensure installation is gas-tight
between laden and clean gas ducts right down to the receiving vessel.
The separation plate should extend down into the vessel by 2x pipe
diameter.
4. High-level controls should be installed to ensure overfilling of the vessel
cannot occur to the point where re-entrainment is possible.
- Attach the product pipes and ensure that the Fill-Vent type diverter is
adequately supported and secured.
When fitting the Fill-Vent type diverter make sure that it is not
subject to uneven loads as a result of external stresses or
vibration.

3. Maintenance
3.1 General
The interval between overhauls will vary with the product being handled and should
be based on total operating time. To a large degree the rate of wear for a particular
application would be ascertained by practical experience.
