Products & services
Big-bag discharging systems
Big-bag discharging systems are specifically designed for discharging a large variety of products from different types of big-bags. They eliminate dust emissions, product loss or product contamination. This modular range encompasses the discharge of single or multi-trip bags, with or without plastic liner. Also, a number of unique options are available for the safe and hygienic discharge of food ingredients, pharmaceutical products and toxic materials
Big-bag filling systems
TBMA offers you a modular range of big-bag filling systems from which the basic models can be equipped with several options to obtain a complete solution for filling and weighing big-bags. With the TBMA modular systems unstable, poorly filled and unstackable bags belong to the past.
TBMA Galahad Bag slitting and emptying system
The Galahad fully automatic bag cutting and emptying system has been TBMA's optimum bulk transfer solution for cutting and emptying various types of bag materials for more than four decades. The Galahad ensures continuous dust-free and hygienic emptying of the bags with a residual value between 0.01% and 0.05% for smooth-running products. The system can directly fill a bulk truck or be connected to a pneumatic or mechanical transport system. Depending on the characteristics of the product and the design of the bags, capacities of up to 50 tonnes per hour can be achieved. The standard version is good for a capacity of 20 tons per hour. For smaller components, TBMA has various dust-proof bag dumping cabinets, which - mobile or otherwise - can be integrated into a Big-Bag unloading installation.
Samplers
Traceability and product safety enforce manufacturers to regularly test and analyze their products. In addition, it is important that you can rely on representative product samples, without disrupting the production process. Representative and reliable A well-taken product sample gives a correct representation of the production. An incorrect or inconsistent sample can lead to unnecessary and costly production losses, delays in delivery times, customer rejection, etc. TBMA offers a complete range of automatic samplers. These give a representative and reliable image and are applicable for granules, flakes and powders. Our samplers are suitable for use bunkers and down spouts or in pneumatic transport systems. In most cases, they can be integrated into existing systems.
DTD dual channel plug diverter

Rotary Valves
TBMA has more than 50 years of experience in the application of rotary drop-through and blow-through valves in the international process industry. From high demanding hygienic to heavy industrial applications and from hi-end rotary valves to simple dust locks. Also, we gladly offer our expertise if you need something out of the ordinary.
Loading chutes (Moduflex)
The Moduflex loading systems from TBMA have been an excellent solution for dust-free and safe loading of dry bulk goods for more than 40 years. The Moduflex program consists of a complete line of loading chutes, filter chutes, telescopic pipes and various special versions for loading a wide variety of materials, such as calcium carbonate, cement, coal, flour, fly ash, plaster, rice, sand, sugar, grain, etc. The systems have a processing capacity of up to 3,000 m3 / hour and are ATEX certified. (optional) The modular concept consists of standard components, so that a loading chute can be assembled quickly in accordance with your wishes. Existing chute sections can also be adjusted or replaced quickly and easily without dismantling the chute. This results in a considerable reduction in maintenance costs and loss of production time. TBMA is the official distributor and service center of Cimbria Moduflex in the Netherlands and Belgium
New range slide rail rotary valves
TBMA have extended and upgraded their range of slide rail rotary valves to meet the industries’ increasing demands. The new range of USDA Dairy Accepted and EHEDG compliant DCSR-2T slide rail valves perfectly match the highest standards in today’s process industry. UNRIVALLED AND UNIQUE DESIGN The dairy, food, pet food and pharmaceutical industries are full of processes that require regular cleaning. Consequently, easy inspection and quick access to the inside have become key features for rotary valves in these industries. The DCSR-2T USDA Dairy Accepted and EHEDG compliant rail valves are the perfect fit for any sanitary application where prevention of product contamination is top of the list. The valves are available in drop through or blow through version and are equipped with a tapered rotor and body. This design ensures that at no point the rotor and body will come into contact while opening or closing the valve. Also, when extracted the rotor can be smoothly rotated for easy cleaning. The clearances of the rotor are prefixed during manufacturing, so no special tools or techniques are needed for the clearance settings. The DCSR-2T valves are supplied in stainless steel 316 and are standard equipped with an 8 bladed rotor with radiused u-shaped pockets. All product contact surfaces are standard polished to 0,8 µm, optional up to 0,4 µm. DCSR-2T rotary valves are suitable for use in dairy, food, pet food, pharmaceutical and other dry bulk material handling industries.
Redesign rotary valve for Aquafeed
New standard in Aquafeed TBMA have redesigned their H-GRD blowing seal, dedicated to handling fish feed on feed barges for open sea fish farming. Barge builders have to deal with specific requirements for the feeding systems, such as limited space and an isolated, salty environment. So, how could we help them with a smart solution valve? The H-GRD of itself already is a robust and reliable valve that offers efficient dosing. Most important for aquafeed, its gentle handling causes minimal damage to the fish feed and therefore minimal water pollution. As a result, the ROI of the valve is very favourable. For the redesign, we mounted a direct in-line drive and consequently reduced the number of parts. As a result, maintenance is even easier than before and less spare parts are required. Moreover, the valve has a smaller installation size. Triple advantage! We are excited that our customers have enthusiastically welcomed the new design: the valves have already been used on the largest barge built so far. The upgraded H-GRD will be on display at Solids Rotterdam (stand G05 | 1-2 October | Rotterdam (NL)).
