Features: 

• Three-way diverting design.
• Oversized viewports on the top and bottom of the diverter housing, constructed from clear polycarbonate.

Challenge:

Locate a reliable 2-way diverter to replace problematic diverters currently in the system. Problems include:

• Inadequate sealing of material
• Poor valve actuation
• Cross contamination of material

Results:

A Vortex Flex Tube Diverter met all of the customer’s requirements. In addition, the coffee supplier really liked having the option of using a two or three-way Flex Tube Diverter valve. This allowed them to replace 2 two-way diverters with a single three-way model from Vortex.

The oversized viewports feature provides a visual means for production personnel to readily see which mixer is receiving product.

The client's end product is roasted and ground coffee.
