Case Study: Vortex® Flex Tube Diverter™ Handling PVC

By Vortex Valves

Application: Pneumatically convey different grades of PVC compound from four (4) silos to two (2) extruder lines.

Challenge: Replace an existing hose manifold station. The station is labor intensive, creates off spec product when employees make mistakes in manually switching the conveying lines, and produces material spills when employees do not secure the hose connections properly.
