Pneumatic Diverter Valves

Pneumatic valves are used to control the flow, direction, and pressure of air or gas within industrial systems. They are commonly applied in dust collection, industrial ventilation, exhaust systems, and material handling to automate flow switching, regulate airflow rates, and ensure consistent system performance with minimal manual intervention.

A diverter valve works by using an internal gate, blade, or flap that pivots or slides to redirect flow from a single inlet to one of two or more outlets. In pneumatic models, compressed air actuates the mechanism, enabling fast, reliable switching that can be automated and integrated into broader process control systems.

Pneumatic diverter valves are widely used in manufacturing, food processing, pharmaceuticals, woodworking, and bulk material handling. Any industry requiring controlled redirection of airflow or particulate-laden streams — including dust collection and industrial ventilation — relies on diverter valves to maintain efficient and safe operations.

Duct Incorporated offers pneumatic diverter valves in standard sizes to suit a wide range of ductwork configurations. For specific sizing requirements or custom applications, their team provides detailed sizing information and design assistance to ensure a proper fit for your system.

Yes, pneumatic diverter valves are well-suited for integration into automated control systems. Their pneumatic actuation allows them to be triggered by PLCs or other controllers, enabling automated flow switching based on process conditions, timers, or sensor inputs without requiring manual operator intervention.

Duct Incorporated provides comprehensive support including design assistance, installation tips, sizing information, and technical information. Their team helps customers select the correct valve configuration, understand installation best practices, and ensure optimal performance within their specific industrial ventilation, dust collection, or material handling system.
