What TBMA does?

ROTARY VALVES AND DIVERTER VALVES FOR BULK SOLIDS HANDLING

THE TBMA ROTARY VALVE

The TBMA rotary valve is designed for the accurate feeding and discharge of powders and granules from silos, hoppers, and pneumatic conveying lines.
Built for efficiency, safety, and durability, it provides a controlled flow of bulk materials under various process conditions — from light powders to abrasive or high-temperature products.

The valve housing is machined with precision, ensuring minimal air leakage and optimal rotor clearance. TBMA rotary valves are available in standard, blow-through, and hygienic designs, making them suitable for both industrial and sanitary applications.

Optional configurations include ATEX-certified versions, stainless steel construction, and quick-clean models for industries requiring high levels of hygiene such as food and pharmaceuticals.

Key Features:

  • Accurate and reliable feeding of powders and granules

  • Robust construction with long service life

  • Easy access for cleaning and maintenance

  • Suitable for both pressure and vacuum conveying systems

  • Available in cast iron, stainless steel, and special materials

  • ATEX execution available for dust zones 21 & 22

THE TBMA DIVERTER VALVES

Diverter valves, also known as product flow distributors, are an essential component in pneumatic and gravity conveying systems. TBMA’s diverter valves are designed  to divert or converge the flow of dry bulk materials such  as powders, pellets,  and granules  between different process lines or destinations.

These valves ensure efficient and reliable material handling with minimal product degradation, maintaining system integrity and product quality. TBMA offers several diverter valve types — including plug, ball, flap, and gravity versions  — each engineered for specific pressures, temperatures, and material characteristics. Their robust construction and precise sealing guarantee smooth operation even under demanding industrial  conditions.

Unlike rotary valves, which primarily function as airlocks or metering devices that regulate product flow between areas of differing pressure, diverter valves are specifically designed  to route material flows within a conveying network. In other words, rotary valves control how much product moves, while diverter valves control where the product goes.

With decades of experience in bulk material handling,  TBMA’s diverter valves represent a reliable, flexible, and hygienic solution for efficient product flow control in various industries.
