Twinvalve Handling

Machine overview

Safety in containment.

Twinvalve is a reliable high-containment valve used in the processing of powders, granules, tablets and capsules in high containment. It combines IMA Active’s experience in powder handling and washing systems and underpins the need to wash valves for any system to obtain the maximum Occupational Exposure Band.

This patented system can be used as a standard butterfly valve on bins and can be easily retrofitted on existing powder handling plants allowing containment during powder transfer.
