Diverter Valves
Rotary Tube Selector Valves (RTSV)
The GEA Rotary tube selector valve allows powder to be easily diverted to up to six different locations from a single source.
The GEA Rotary tube selector valve brings a new level of innovation and design to an integral component of a powder conveying system. The enhanced structural layout provides greater strength and rigidity allowing for regular and reliable operation when changing powder destinations. The Rotary tube selector valve modular design is available in 2 through to 6 port versions with 75 to 150 mm (3” to 6”) pipe configuration. Any of the models can be hand demountable and are manually cleanable.
A major advantage of the RTSV is it provides a piping diversion system that does not have a stagnant (dead) pocket by which material could accumulate and contaminate subsequent batches.
Application
The two-way RTSV diverts or converges the flow of pneumatically conveyed powders and pellets in dilute and dense phase pressure and vacuum systems. Solid piping provides higher pressure and temperature ratings, and is less susceptible to wear than flexible-hose designs.
Further features include:
Specifications:
• 75–150 mm diameter tube and pipe sizes
• Internal components easily visible through four windows
• Fully pneumatic operation
• Easy cleaning
• Modular design allows interchangeable parts between models
• No Motor Control Centre (MCC) required
• Product contact components are 304L stainless steel and the material of the seals meets FDA requirements
• Valves can be used in dilute phase and dense phase systems
• Designed in accordance with EHEDGE and USDA/3A standards.

All pharmaceutical freeze-drying vials are the same! Aren't they?
Whether it’s a fad or the future, 100% vial traceability is becoming an increasingly important consideration in the pharmaceutical freeze drying industry. Keeping a close eye on developments is GEA. We’re investigating possible solutions and, what’s more, we have the experience, expertise and know-how to implement them.
Alcohol-free beer: They want it all – they want less
There was a time when the phrases ‘non-alcoholic beer’ and ‘tastes good’ were seldom used together in the same sentence, particularly by consumers. But low-proof and alcohol-free beers have come a long way – many of them now refreshing drinks in their own right – thanks in no small part to technology from GEA.
Innovating patient care with aseptic spray drying
At GEA, our commitment to engineering for a better world fuels our pursuit of innovative solutions that enhance patient care and safety. One of our most promising ventures in recent years is aseptic spray drying – a technology that promises to revolutionize pharmaceutical manufacturing.
