The 2-way drop-out valve with flap mechanism and pneumatic actuation is used particularly in "standard applications" when larger or geometrically unproblematic products are manufactured.

This type of valve consists of a rectangular housing in which a changeover flap is mounted in the center. This flap can be pivoted into two positions, thus directing the conveyed flow in different directions.

The changeover flap is made of stainless steel as standard, but can also be made of plastic (POM) if required. This protects the parts and also allows the gap between the changeover flap and the housing to be kept as small as possible. The flap is then guided inside the housing and touches the side walls.

The switching speed between the end positions with this drive type is between 1.0 and 1.5 seconds. This makes the switch particularly suitable for the targeted distribution of part flows or as a quality switch.

Like all MTF Technik switch types, this type is designed and constructed entirely according to customer specifications. This switch type can be integrated into all common injection molding machines or die-casting machines. For this purpose, the hopper, the connections to the machine frame, and the geometry of the discharge shafts are adapted to the specific application. In addition, this type of switch can also be mounted at the outlet of conveyor belts or other feeding devices.

Depending on the product range, both the switching flap and the hopper and discharge chutes can be made of textured stainless steel sheets to prevent parts from sticking. Special non-stick coatings can also be applied if required. Likewise, the discharge chutes can be designed with transparent covers, inspection hatches, etc., according to customer requirements.

In addition to the geometric adaptation, the electrical interface is also designed according to customer requirements. The switch is designed accordingly, depending on the interfaces and signals available on the production machine or an existing control system.
