Rotary tube selector valve for powder conveying
Streamline your pneumatic transport system with a robust solution that diverges and converges powder flow seamlessly, minimizing contamination risks with its stagnant-free design.
Diverts and Converges Powder and Pellet Flow
The GEA Rotary Tube Selector Valve (RTSV) is essential for efficient powder and pellet transport in industries ranging from pharmaceuticals to chemicals. This innovative valve optimizes pneumatic conveying by allowing precise diversion and convergence, reducing contamination risks with its dead-pocket-free design. Available in 2 to 6 port configurations with 75 to 150 mm tube sizes, it is constructed from 304L stainless steel for superior durability and compliance with EHEDGE and USDA/3A standards. The RTSV operates within dilute and dense phase systems and requires no Motor Control Centre, making it easy to integrate into your production line. Featuring full pneumatic operation and manual cleaning capability, it supports high-pressure and temperature applications, ensuring reliable performance in continuous operations. Customization options and GEA engineering support further enhance its versatility for diverse production needs.
