Electric Plow Diverter

The Electric Plow Diverter is a conveyor accessory designed for intermediate discharge of bulk materials at selected points along a belt conveyor system.

 

By lowering the plow blade onto the moving conveyor belt, the diverter redirects transported materials to one side or both sides of the conveyor according to the required discharge location. The electric drive system enables smooth operation and convenient automation, allowing material diversion without stopping the conveyor.

 

The electric plow diverter is widely used in bulk material handling systems where multiple discharge points and flexible material distribution are required.

Key Features


Electric Drive Operation

The motorized actuator provides smooth and controlled movement of the plow blade, enabling reliable opening and closing during conveyor operation.

 

Flexible Material Diversion

The plow blade design allows bulk materials to be discharged to one side or both sides of the conveyor, improving system flexibility.

 

Wear-Resistant Plow Blade

The blade can be manufactured with wear-resistant materials to withstand continuous contact with conveyed materials and reduce replacement frequency.

 

Belt-Friendly Design

Adjustable blade pressure helps maintain effective material diversion while minimizing unnecessary stress on the conveyor belt.

 

Automated Control Capability

The electric operating system can be integrated with centralized control systems for automatic sequence operation.

 

Easy Maintenance

The modular structure allows convenient inspection and replacement of wear components, reducing maintenance downtime.

Product Advantages


Intermediate discharge capability: Enables material unloading at multiple points along a conveyor line.

Improved conveying flexibility: Allows customized material distribution without additional conveyor systems.

Automatic operation: Electric drive supports remote control and system integration.

Reduced belt impact: Adjustable plow pressure helps protect the conveyor belt surface.

Wear-resistant construction: Designed for continuous operation in demanding bulk material environments.

Lower operating cost: Simple structure and replaceable wear parts simplify maintenance.

Applications

The Electric Plow Diverter is mainly used for intermediate material discharge on belt conveyor systems where materials need to be distributed at different locations.

 

Typical applications include:

Coal Handling Systems: Used for flexible coal distribution in power plants and storage facilities.

Mining Operations: Suitable for diverting ores and bulk minerals along conveyor routes.

Cement and Building Materials: Used for distributing limestone, clinker, and other bulk materials.

Ports and Terminals: Supports multiple discharge points in large-scale material handling systems.

Steel and Metallurgy: Applied in raw material transportation and processing systems.

Chemical Industry: Suitable for controlled distribution of bulk chemical materials.

Warehouse and Storage Facilities: Helps achieve flexible conveyor material routing.

FAQ

What is an Electric Plow Diverter?

An Electric Plow Diverter is a conveyor device that redirects materials from a running belt conveyor to designated discharge points.

 

Can a plow diverter discharge material without stopping the conveyor?

Yes. The electric plow diverter is designed for intermediate discharge while the conveyor remains in operation.

 

What is the difference between a plow diverter and a feeder?

A feeder controls material supply into a conveyor system, while a plow diverter redirects materials already being transported on the conveyor belt.

 

Can the discharge direction be adjusted?

Yes. Depending on the design, the plow blade can divert materials to one side or both sides of the conveyor.

 

What industries use electric plow diverters?

They are commonly used in mining, coal handling, power generation, cement, ports, metallurgy, and bulk material processing industries.

 

How is the plow blade maintained?

The wear blade is replaceable, allowing convenient maintenance without replacing the complete equipment.
