Diverter valves are one of the most overlooked, highest-failure points in a pneumatic conveying line — and automation is raising the stakes, not lowering them. As cement, mining, and power plants shift to automated multi-destination routing, the valves doing the actual work need to survive far more cycles than manual operation ever demanded. Here's what that engineering problem looks like, and how it gets solved.

Delta Ducon's Power Group is heading to Birmingham, Alabama for the 2026 Southern Company Tech Conference, bringing over 100 years of power industry experience to the exhibit floor. Attendees can see live demos of the company's pneumatic ash handling, fuel transfer, and environmental compliance systems, and talk shop with the team about their toughest material handling challenges.

Tightening NFPA and EPA standards are pushing cement, lime, and gypsum plants to replace open material transfer with fully enclosed pneumatic conveying.

Pulverized bio-carbon and lime injection is putting new stress on convey lines. Learn how dilute, dense, and semi-dense (slug flow) pneumatic conveying compare for EAF injection — and how the right choice depends on your material and site.
