TBMA components have been used in the international process industry for more than half a century. From demanding hygienic to heavy industrial applications and from hi-end valves to dust locks. We also take care of the design and implementation of complete (pneumatic) conveying systems, so we thoroughly know the circumstances under which our rotary valves and diverters have to do their job. We are also happy to use our expertise for a special application or special implementation.

Diverter valves or product flow distributors are an essential part in pneumatic and freefall conveying systems. TBMA can now offer its own plug diverter valves for the diverting and/or converging of powders and granules for pneumatic conveying systems. The DTD double channel plug diverter and the SDTD single channel plug diverter are suitable for applications in dilute or dense phase or vacuum pneumatic conveying systems in the food, feed, chemical, plastics, pharmaceutical and biomass industries. The smart, value engineered design ensures a smooth product flow and minimal switching time with as little product degradation as possible. The diverter valves are easy to inspect and clean by removing the cover on the non-drive side. There are no moving parts on the outside for maximum operator safety.
