ADM Milling Groups Valves Into Easy-to-Service Stations

From Vortex Valves, a Division of Salina Vortex Corporation
 

 
Wye line diverter valves, manufactured by Salina Vortex Corp., Salina, KS (785-825-7177/www.svortex.com), aren't a new product for Overland Park, KS-based ADM Milling Co. They've been used for over five years at ADM flour mills in Chattanooga, TN, and Spokane, WA, according to Bill Foley, a project engineer at ADM Milling's Salina technical center (785-825-1541). Foley says his company's millers like the Wye-line design, so-called because of the "Y"-shaped junction it creates in a pneumatic line, for several reasons: * The positive-sealing valve is self-cleaning and can be used for switch-on-the-fly applications where there is no requirement to purge the line when switching from one line to the other. * The seal plates are shielded from abrasion, providing long life, and when they finally do have to be replaced, the design makes the job simple.
