Turn-head distributors

Turn-head distributors

JACOB multi-way distributors are the compact solution for conveying bulk goods to many machines or silos in the production process. In order to meet different requirements, JACOB has various multi-way distributors with up to 2 x 20 outlets in it’s standard portfolio.

The turn-head distributor is available as standard in 45 and 60 degrees and is ideal for distributing granular bulk goods, such as grain, by gravity without overpressure inside the pipework system and with no demand for dust-tightness internally.

The feeding takes place from the top through the turn-pipe towards the required outlet inside a closed casing. With the double turn-head distributor, feeding takes place from the top through two counter-rotating turn-pipes.

The dust-tight version of the turn-head distributor is particularly suitable for distributing bulk goods by gravity up to a maximum of 1 bar overpressure in the pipework system. In this version, sealing of the turn-pipe outlet by means of pneumatic pressing onto outlet sleeve.

On request, all versions of the turn-head distributor are also available with FOOD GRADE, and except the double turn-head distributor additionally with DETECTABLE DESIGN.

You can find options for individual solutions, for example turn-head distributors in an ATEX version or with wear protection, in our catalogue.

Case Study

Bühler’s Bakery Innovation Center (BIC) covers a complete range of bakery processes – from conception to production. Pipes and components from JACOB were used for bulk material handling and exhaust air aspiration. Because the systems in question are used for processing foodstuffs, all the components used are from the particularly high-quality FOOD GRADE line. These fulfil the requirements of EC 1935/2004 and the FDA. Also part of the system: the blue U­shaped seals, which are metal detectable thanks to incorporated metal particles.
