Switch abrasive material flow without stopping the process.

Everlasting DVP Series Diverter Valves are engineered for abrasive and severe-service applications where material must be diverted, blended, or fully isolated between multiple destinations.

Built around EV’s self-lapping rotating disc and seat design, the DVP Series helps solve common diverter problems: line plugging, seat wear, leakage, material hang-up, and production loss during line switching.

Designed for the operating problems that make diverter valves expensive.

In abrasive solids and erosive particulate service, the cost is rarely just the valve. Lost conveying time, plugged downstream lines, off-quality material, and repeated seat repairs can quickly become the bigger issue.

Common failure modeWhat the user experiencesEV DVP solution
Line switching requires shutdownCompressor or conveying system must stop before changing destination.Switch-on-the-fly operation helps keep material moving and reduces process interruption.
Abrasive media erodes seating surfacesValve leaks, cross-contaminates silos, or allows off-quality material into the wrong path.Self-lapping rotating disc and hardened seats help maintain shutoff in erosive particulate service.
Material packs or plugs inside bodyStagnant material bridges, hardens, or jams the mechanism.Open-body / self-draining flow path reduces material hang-up and helps keep the seating area clear.
Frequent maintenance and parts replacementRepair labor, lost production, and repeated outage work become routine.Heavy-duty construction, hardened trim options, and no-lubrication design support long service life.
Multi-destination routing is unreliableSilos, bins, hoppers, or vessels cannot be isolated or blended consistently.Lateral “Y” diverter assembly can divert, blend, or fully isolate material flow.

Trusted By

The Everlasting Diverter Valves can be switched on the fly, and no lubrication is required. The designs of each style are based on the open body Rotating Disc technology proven since 1906 in our two-way valves. The disc and seats are solid hardened alloys in the 38RC to 59RC range this provides exceptionally long life in abrasive media. These valves have performed in titanium dioxide, fly ash, Portland cement, Alumina silica and calcified Kaolin, sugar, coal and other erosive particulate. Actuators include lever, hand-wheel, pneumatic cylinder, the valves are flanged, and pressure and temperature ranges vary with design type.

Diverter severity score

Use the selections above to estimate application severity.

This score is directional and intended to guide application review.

Risk Evaluation

Identify where standard diverters are likely to fail.

Diverter service becomes severe when abrasion, powder buildup, frequent switching, and leakage consequences overlap. DVP is especially relevant where the user cannot afford plugged lines, cross-contamination, or repeated shutdown maintenance.

Best-fit warning signs

The process uses erosive particulate, downstream lines plug, off-quality material reaches the wrong silo, or the current diverter requires frequent parts and labor.

Applications

Cement transfer and silo routing

DVP diverters help route Portland cement, CKD, clinker-related dust, and abrasive powders between conveying lines, bins, vessels, and silos.

ProblemLine switching downtime and plugged destinations.
DVP directionSwitch-on-the-fly diverter assembly with hardened trim.

Fly ash and pneumatic conveying

Designed for erosive particulate where conventional diverters can wear, jam, or leak between conveying routes.

ProblemAsh abrasion, cross-leakage, and restart delays.

Titanium dioxide and chemical powders

High-value powders require reliable isolation to reduce contamination and off-quality product during routing changes.

ProblemFine powders can pack and seat leakage can cross-contaminate streams.
DVP directionApplication review for stainless or special-alloy construction and switch feedback.

Alumina silica, kaolin, and mineral solids

Abrasive mineral streams demand hardened sealing components and a flow path that resists plugging and material stagnation.
