The 3-way diverter with rotary chute and servo-motor operation is used wherever small or tapered parts need to be ejected. The three positions allow for great flexibility in splitting the conveying flows into good parts, starting parts or rejects, and quality control parts.

Thanks to the extremely powerful and fast servo drive, the positions can be reached in a very short time. The switching speed between the individual positions is approximately 0.3 seconds with this type of drive. In this configuration, the diverter is generally used as a separating diverter, meaning it switches with each cycle to direct the sprue and good parts separately into different channels using a two-stage ejection mechanism. Speed ​​is paramount here to minimize any impact on the machine's cycle time. Due to the high accelerations and mechanical stress, the entire housing and the rotary shaft are designed with increased strength. In this rotary shaft mechanism, patented by MTF Technik, a closed system of side walls and a switching flap rotates within a single housing. This eliminates any gaps between the switching flap and the side walls where small parts could become trapped. Likewise, there is no relative movement between the two elements, thus preventing abrasion. Like all MTF Technik diverters, this type is completely custom-designed and engineered. The diverter can be integrated into all standard injection molding machines or die-casting machines. For this purpose, the hopper, the connections to the machine frame, and the geometry of the discharge chutes are adapted to the specific application. Furthermore, this type of diverter can also be mounted at the discharge of conveyor belts or other feeding devices. Depending on the product range, the rotary chute, the hopper, and the discharge chutes can be manufactured from structured stainless steel sheets to prevent part adhesion. Special non-stick coatings can also be applied if required. Likewise, the discharge chutes can be designed according to customer specifications, with transparent covers, inspection hatches, etc. In addition to the geometric adaptation, the electrical interface is also designed according to customer requirements. Depending on which interfaces and signals the production machine or existing control system has, the switch is designed accordingly.
