How Does a Plow Diverter Work?

Plow Diverter is a type of material handling equipment designed to divert bulk materials from one conveyor belt to another. It is commonly used in industries like mining, agriculture, and construction. The plow diverter consists of a plow blade that can be moved from side to side to push bulk materials off the conveyor belt. This equipment is essential in ensuring that materials are transported efficiently and without interruptions.

How does a plow diverter work?

A plow diverter works by utilizing a plow blade to divert materials off the conveyor belt. The plow blade is attached to a pivot assembly that allows it to move along a track. When a plow diverter is activated, the plow blade pushes the bulk materials off the conveyor belt and onto another belt. This process ensures that materials are transported efficiently and without spillage.

What are the benefits of using a plow diverter?

There are several benefits of using a plow diverter. Firstly, it allows for the efficient transfer of materials between conveyor belts. Secondly, it reduces the risk of spillage, which can be costly and can pose a safety hazard. Finally, plow diverters are easy to maintain, which makes them a cost-effective solution for material handling.

What types of materials can be handled by a plow diverter?

Plow diverters can handle a wide range of bulk materials, including coal, grains, minerals, and construction materials like sand and gravel.

In conclusion, the plow diverter is an essential piece of equipment for industries that handle bulk materials. It helps to efficiently transfer materials between conveyor belts, reduces spillage, and is easy to maintain.
