Jacob tubing with multi-port distributors, as used by a tea and coffee manufacturer

Jacob tubing systems and their components are available in Canada through Firing Industries Ltd., including a series of multi-port distributors. These units are the perfect compact solution for conveying bulk materials to various silos or machines in production, and Jacob has up to 2×20 outlets as standard in its range.

These multi-port distributors are ideal for manufacturers that process bulk goods, as they need complex distribution systems, such as the tubing products Jacob makes.

Four lugs for support

Also known as multi-way distributors, these components meet a wide range of processing requirements. Jacob provides different models in the standard range, all of which can be configured individually according to desired use. A FOOD GRADE version is available, with stainless steel product-contact components at extra cost, as part of the Jacob food-compliant line, along with a dust-proof model.

Firing Industries clients can request multi-port distributors with wear-protection lining and other specifications. The rotating tube switch enables pneumatic conveyance of up to three bar, and it can be installed horizontally, overhead, or in other positions. Other features available on request:

  • additional electric pressing and position control of the turn-pipe outlet position with proximity switches, affixed in the lower funnel
  • ATEX compliance
  • blue silicone, metal-detectable construction
  • other drives
  • proximity switches
  • second inspection door

A primed steel model is also available, for distributing grain and other granular bulk goods by gravity without excessive pressure in the tubing system, without any demand for internal dust tightness. The turn pipe allows feeding from the top towards the required outlet inside a closed casing. A rotary tube seal is pressed on with two pressure springs, and four lugs fixed to the lower funnel circumference add support.

These multi-port distributors are operated electrically by three-phase, 50-hertz gear motors with currents from 380 to 400 volts. Each has positioning with mechanical limit switches wired on terminals in a connection box.
