Kice Industries releases upgraded diverter valve
<![CDATA[

Wichita, Kansas-based Kice Industries has introduced an upgraded diverter valve available for Kice models 67Q2-2 through 67Q6-2 and 68Q2 through 68Q6 (2 inches to 6 inches in outside diameter).

“This improvement will help prolong the life of the equipment,” says Jeff Kice, Kice Industries. “The precise blade positioning reduces wear on the leading edge of the diverter blade. We also gave them highly visible position indicators to help operators easily determine proper diverting location without accessing the unit and taking the equipment offline.”

The company says an additional improvement is the new guard, which was engineered to remove potential pinch points, finger entry and equipment protection per safety standards American National Standards Institute (ANSI) B11.19-2010 and Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) 1910.219.

Field conversion kits are available for operators, allowing for ease of conversion from a manually controlled diverter valve to an automatic valve, according to the company.

“The guard’s backplate mounts to the existing endplate bolt hole pattern,” Kice says. “Conversion kits are available for mounting the controls on either side of the valve.”

Kice 67-series diverter valves and 68-series bin fill valves are heavy-duty, cast iron valves with tightly machined clearances, meeting the critical need to terminate a pneumatic conveying system at multiple destinations, the company says.

Kice Industries designs complete industrial air systems and builds most of the equipment specified for these systems. Applications include pneumatic conveying, dust control and aspiration.
