BKG® Polymer Diverter Valves

Our BKG® polymer diverter and melt flow control valves are designed to regulate the flow of your molten polymer in a controlled manner and even discharge the material out of the running process as necessary.

Investing in high-quality polymer diverter valves is a strategic decision that can significantly enhance your polymer processing operations. By offering superior flow control, material compatibility, reduced contamination, and optimized efficiency, these valves deliver tangible benefits across a wide range of applications. Our polymer diverter valves also allow you to make material or color changes while the line continues to run. Choosing the right polymer diverter valve can lead to improved product quality, reduced costs, and a more sustainable and efficient operation. Consider upgrading to polymer diverter valves today and experience the difference.

Our Collection of Polymer Diverter Valves

The majority of our polymer valves are used in all polymer processing line set-ups, including extrusion, polymerization, and compounding processes, while our start-up valve is essential for underwater pelletizing.

Advantages of BKG® Polymer Flow Control Valves

As a world-renowned valve manufacturer, we have years of experience designing, innovating upon, and producing polymer diverter valves to support your specific polymer processing goals.

1. Enhanced Flow Control and Precision:

• Streamlined Flow Channels: Polymer diverter valves are engineered with smooth, optimized flow channels that minimize pressure drop and ensure consistent material delivery. This is crucial for maintaining even distribution in extrusion, polymerization, recycling, and compounding processes.
• Accurate Material Routing: These valves guarantee precise redirection of polymer melts or slurries to different processing lines or storage containers. This accuracy reduces waste, optimizes blending, and facilitates efficient changeovers.

2. Superior Material Compatability and Durability:

• Corrosion Resistance: Polymer processing often involves aggressive chemicals and high temperatures. BKG® polymer diverter valves are made of stainless steel or standard steel. Depending on your specific application requirements, chrome and other special coatings ensure that our polymer diverter valvesthey are exceptionally resistant to corrosion and chemical attack, ensuring long-term reliability.
• Abrasion Resistance: Polymers can be abrasive, leading to wear and tear on valve components. BKG® polymer diverter valves, designed with robust materials and specialized coatings, withstand abrasive forces, extending valve lifespan and minimizing downtime.

3. Optimized Operational Efficiency and Cost Savings:

• Reduced Maintenance: The robust construction and corrosion resistance of our polymer diverter valves translates to less maintenance and reduced downtime.
• Energy Efficiency: Streamlined flow channels and special insulation options minimize pressure drop, reducing energy consumption.

Applications Where Polymer Diverter Valves Shine:

• Extrusion: Depending on your specific process requirements, we design polymer valves for all applications that require polymer melt diversion, such as sheet extrusion and compounding and others.
• Polymerization: BKG® polymer valves are suitable for a wide variety of switching tasks, for use with both prepolymers and finished polymers.
