Abstract
An adjustable and repairable flow diverter for food processing equipment 10 includes a mounting plate 11 supporting junctions 13-15 so that a movable jumper 12 can variably interconnect pipes 27 and 28 leading to the plate. The junctions are formed as coupler tubes 23-25 with a connection at one end for the pipes and a connection at the other end for the jumper. The plate has tube holes 41 arranged to receive the coupler tubes, and the tube holes are larger than the outside diameter of the coupler tubes and large enough to allow the coupler tubes to be axially removed from and replaced in the plate. Each of the coupler tubes 23-25 has an encircling collar 43-45 with an outside diameter substantially larger than tube holes 41, and studs 46 are secured to the collars at equiangular spacing around the collars to be parallel with the axes of the coupler tubes. The plate has stud holes 56 arranged at equiangular positions around the tube holes 41 for receiving the collar studs, and the stud holes and tube holes are large enough to allow eccentric, axial and inclination adjustment of the coupler tubes relative to the plate.
