The 2-way drop-off switch with flap mechanism and pneumatic actuation is used particularly in "standard applications" when manufacturing larger or geometrically uncomplicated products.

This type of switch 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 conveying flow in different directions.

The changeover flap is made of stainless steel as standard, but can also be manufactured from plastic (POM) if required. This serves both to protect the components and to keep the gap between the changeover flap and the housing as small as possible. The flap is then guided within the housing and contacts the side walls. The switching speed between the end positions is between 1.0 and 1.5 seconds with this type of drive. Therefore, this diverter is particularly suitable for the targeted distribution of parts flows or as a quality diverter. Like all MTF Technik diverters, this type is completely custom-designed and engineered. This diverter 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 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 diverter flap, hopper, and discharge chutes can all be manufactured from structured stainless steel sheets to prevent parts from sticking. Special non-stick coatings can also be applied if required. Likewise, the discharge chutes can be fitted with transparent covers, inspection hatches, etc., according to customer specifications. In addition to the geometric adaptation, the electrical interface is also designed according to customer requirements. The diverter is designed accordingly, taking into account the interfaces and signals available on the production machine or existing control system.
