  • Patent number: 11440063
    Abstract: A diverter valve for conveying material to be conveyed, the diverter valve being cleanable using a method for CIP cleaning, comprises a housing with at least three passage openings to feed or discharge the material to be conveyed, the passage openings defining a conveying plane. The diverter valve further comprises a rotary part having an axis of rotation and an outer contour designed conically in relation to the axis of rotation at least in sections, the rotary part being arrangeable in the housing in a sealed manner, the rotary part being displaceable along the axis of rotation in an axially driven manner and being arranged such as to be drivable for rotation about the axis of rotation, the axis of rotation being oriented perpendicular to the conveying plane, a passage duct arranged in the rotary part, which—depending on a rotary position of the rotary part—connects in each case two passage openings for conveying material along the passage duct through the diverter valve.

  • Patent number: 11174955
    Abstract: A diverter valve for conveying a material has a housing with at least three passage openings for feeding or discharging material. The passage openings define a conveying plane. The diverter valve includes a rotary part with an outer contour that is conical, at least in sections, with respect to its axis of rotation. The rotary part is arranged in a sealed manner in the housing. The rotary part can be axially displaced and rotated within the housing. The axis of rotation is perpendicular to the conveying plane. A passage conduit is arranged in the rotary part, which, depending on the rotational position of the rotary part, connects to each other two passage openings for conveying material along the passage conduit through the diverter valve. A drain opening is provided in the housing for the automatic drainage of a liquid from the housing.

  • Publication number: 20130170926
    Abstract: A loading system for loading bulk material from a bulk material production plant onto a ship has at least one stationary intermediate storage container for receiving the bulk material from the bulk material production plant. A first loading conveying device is used to convey the bulk material from the bulk material production plant into the intermediate storage container. A second loading conveying device is used to convey the bulk material from the intermediate storage container into the ship. An unloading system for loading bulk material from a ship onto transporters has a stationary intermediate storage container for receiving the bulk material from the ship. Two unloading conveying devices are used to convey the bulk material, from the ship into the intermediate storage container and, from the intermediate storage container into the transporters.
