The 2-way drop switch with rotary shaft and electric motor actuation is used particularly in cleanroom applications. Compared to pneumatically operated switches, this has the advantage that no compressed air escapes and therefore no air turbulence is created.

In this rotary shaft mechanism, patented by MTF Technik, a closed system of side walls and a changeover flap rotates within a housing. This eliminates gaps between the changeover flap and the side walls where small parts could become trapped. Likewise, there is no relative movement between the two elements, thus preventing abrasion.

The switching speed between the end positions is between 1.0 and 1.5 seconds with this type of drive. Thus, 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. It 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 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 parts from sticking. Special non-stick coatings can also be applied if required. The dropouts can also be designed according to customer specifications, for example, 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 an existing control system has, the dropout is designed accordingly.
