"I would like to thank you and your co-workers for finally solving a long standing problem we have had with pneumatic diverter valves. Our plant has over 30 dilute phase conveying systems with hundreds of valves to control direction. The problems are with other brands of 3-way valves and multi-port valves. The other valves we have tried , stick and bind especially during sever temperature change.

We have installed the first 3-way six inch diverter valve four years ago and since the installed 5 move, 3 and 4-way diverter valves, all which have worked flawlessly. Being a food production plant sanitary design fit and finish are very important and the product we have received from your company has met or exceeded the requirements."

THE BLACK VELVET DISTILLING COMPANY

"The Black Velvet Distilling Company purchased a Y-Diverter Valve in Jan. 2003. The valve is used to control the flow of corn flour between two hammer mills into a single cyclone receiving vessel. The installation of the valve gave the distillery's Process Operators instant control on hammer mill changeovers without physically having to disconnect and reconnect the piping. We est. that this saves 45 min's of downtime per occurrence. The valve has worked trouble-free since it was installed."

"Our compounding system drops 1,100 lbs. of PVC resin into the heat mixer a the start of every batch, this is the largest single ingredient that goes into the compound mix. With a 10" butterfly valve it would take 90 seconds to drop this ingredient, close the valve and start to weigh up another load for the next batch. After changing over the Lorenz 10" Series E Slide Gate we have seen the drop time decrease to 40 seconds. ...The total increase output paid for the valve upgrade in the first week."
