When standard moulded rubber bellows do not meet your needs, a diverse range of hand-built, UK-manufactured rubber bellows are available for order. These custom-made rubber bellows are tailored to each application’s unique specifications, providing optimal performance and durability.
Our hand-built rubber bellows have full-faced rubber flanges and split backing flanges, ensuring a robust and reliable connection. These flexible rubber bellows can accommodate non-standard bore sizes and lengths, making them suitable for various industrial applications.
We offer a selection of liner materials to meet specific operational requirements, including:
EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer): Known for its excellent resistance to heat, ozone, and weathering, it is suitable for outdoor and high-temperature applications.
Nitrile: Provides exceptional resistance to oils, fuels, and chemicals, ideal for environments where these substances are prevalent.
Hypalon: Offers superior resistance to chemicals, temperature extremes, and ultraviolet light, making it a versatile choice for various challenging conditions.
Neoprene: Balances chemical and weather resistance, suitable for various applications requiring flexibility and durability.
We can also construct bellows from abrasive-resistant natural rubber and various FDA food-quality compounds, including EPDM, nitrile, natural rubber, and silicone for specialised applications. These materials ensure compliance with stringent hygiene standards and provide the durability required for demanding environments. Additionally, we offer an anti-static rubber compound, which is crucial for applications where static electricity could pose a hazard.
To further enhance the functionality of our bespoke rubber bellows, we offer several additional options:
Tapered Rubber Bellows:
These connect pipes of differing diameters. The tapered design ensures a smooth transition between different pipe sizes, reducing turbulence and maintaining flow efficiency.
Filled Arch Bellows:
These bellows feature a filled arch design, providing a smooth internal surface that minimises material buildup and enhances the flow of fluids or gases. This design is particularly beneficial in applications where hygiene and cleanliness are paramount.
Double-Arch Bellows:
These flexible rubber bellows offer increased movement capabilities, accommodating more significant axial, lateral, and angular movements. This flexibility ensures that the bellows can absorb various movements without compromising the integrity of the connected systems.
Stainless Steel Backing Flanges:
We offer stainless steel backing flanges for added strength and durability. These flanges provide a robust connection point that can withstand high pressures and harsh environmental conditions, ensuring the bellows’ long-term reliability.
When standard solutions are insufficient. These applications include:
HVAC Systems: Rubber bellows help absorb vibrations and thermal expansion in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems, ensuring smooth operation and reducing wear on connected components.
Chemical Plants: Our bespoke rubber bellows’ chemical resistance makes them ideal for use in environments exposed to corrosive substances.
Food and Beverage Industry: FDA food-quality rubber bellows ensure that hygiene standards are maintained, preventing contamination and ensuring the safety of food products.
Power Plants: Rubber bellows help manage thermal expansion and absorb vibrations in power generation systems, contributing to the equipment’s efficiency and longevity.
