How Does a Switch Valve Work?

​

Switch valves are used to select between two different supply pickup points if they are on the suction side of a blower (such as between a shredder or floorsweep hood) or between two different destinations for trim/dust (such as two different collectors) if they are on the discharge side of a blower. Switch valves contain a blade that moves between two pockets; one pocket allows the blade to be out of the way when it is allowing air and material to flow straight through the valve and the other pocket allows the blade to be out of the way when the blade is positioned to direct air and material through the second (non-axial) port.
