Fabric flexible connectors are essential in various industries, particularly food and pharmaceuticals, ensuring seamless operations even in challenging conditions. These versatile connectors include flexible fabric sleeves, gaiters, filter bags, and fan connectors. Designed to maintain the integrity and efficiency of industrial processes, they are pivotal in reducing downtime, improving safety, and enhancing overall operational performance. Flexible Connections Ltd specialises in producing high-quality fabric flexible connections tailored to meet the unique demands of different applications.
At Flexible Connections Ltd., we manufacture our fabric flexible connectors using various materials, ranging from natural nylons to polyurethane, rubber-proofed cloths, and FDA fabrics. Our extensive inventory includes various fabrics, from lightweight nylons to heavy-duty canvases, catering to multiple applications. This versatility allows us to provide solutions tailored to the unique demands of different environments, ensuring optimal performance and durability.
Design and Functionality
Convoluted gaiters are among our specialised fabric connector offerings. These gaiters prevent contaminants from entering sensitive areas, such as screw threads and hydraulic rams. Their convoluted design allows for high compression and elongation, accommodating significant movement. The number of convolutions formed into the unit’s overall length depends on the outside dimension of each convolution and required open length, providing a tailored solution for various applications.
Customisation Options
Customers typically specify the end terminations for these stitched bellows, including various options such as cuffed ends for clamping onto spigots, drawstrings, elasticated cuffs, or flanges. This customisation ensures a perfect fit and secure attachment, enhancing the gaiters’ effectiveness in protecting machinery and components.
Varieties and Applications
Complementing our fabric gaiters, we produce stitched sleeves tailored to various dimensions. These sleeves offer versatile solutions for different industrial applications. For example:
Design Flexibility
Our design options for flexible sleeves extend to tapered sleeves, offset angles, square-to-round configurations, and flanged connectors. This flexibility in design allows us to meet the specific needs of our clients and ensure that each sleeve performs optimally in its intended application.
In-House Production
We are committed to providing comprehensive solutions and offer fabric filter bags through our in-house sewing department. Depending on the application requirements, these bespoke designs can feature a disc sewn on one end to accommodate an internal steel cage or be sewn flat.
Material Selection
Our stock includes standard needle felts, PTFE laminated FDA-approved materials, and ATEX-rated filter needle felts. This variety allows us to cater to custom designs for customers with unique requirements, ensuring each filter bag meets the application’s needs. This customisation ensures that the filter bags provide optimal filtration performance, maintaining the cleanliness and efficiency of industrial processes.
Importance in Industrial Applications
Fan-flexible connections are critical in various industrial applications, particularly in the food and pharmaceutical industries. These connectors help reduce vibration, noise, and misalignment between fan units and ducting or piping systems. Flexible fan connections enhance the system’s overall stability and performance by absorbing vibrations and compensating for misalignments.
Quality and Durability
Our fan connectors meet the highest quality and durability standards. They are available in various materials and configurations to suit different applications, ensuring each connection provides a secure and reliable solution. These connectors play a vital role in maintaining the efficiency and longevity of the equipment.
High-Temperature Applications
Please refer to our High-Temperature Fabric Connector page for applications requiring high-temperature ratings. These connectors withstand extreme conditions without compromising performance.
Protection and Flexibility
Stitched bellows are another vital component in our range of fabric connectors. These bellows protect machinery and components from dust, dirt, and other contaminants while allowing for the necessary movement and flexibility. Their design ensures that sensitive parts are shielded from harmful elements, extending the equipment’s lifespan.
Customisation Options
Our stitched bellows are available in various sizes and configurations, including options for custom designs. This flexibility allows us to provide solutions that meet the specific needs of our clients, ensuring that each bellow performs optimally in its intended application.
