The Corner Connector 040E is specifically designed to manage the redirection of clean-in-place (CIP) wash fluids around bends in processing equipment. This connector is ideal for use under compact machinery such as sifters and sieves, where space is limited and direct routing of fluids into other equipment is required. It replaces traditional steel tun-dish and swiveling pipework, offering a more flexible and hygienic solution.

This connector features a 110° angled bend with a tapered infeed end and a straight drain output, optimizing the flow of cleaning fluids through the machinery. Its clear, ether-based thermoplastic polyurethane construction allows for visual inspection of the fluid flow, ensuring that no residues are left behind during the cleaning process. This transparency helps in maintaining high hygiene standards by allowing operators to monitor cleaning effectiveness in real time.

Made from Seeflex, the Corner Connector 040E is non-breathable, dust tight, and has a gloss finish with a wall thickness of approximately 0.9 mm. It is durable, with a hardness of 90 Shore A and high tensile and tear strengths. The connector can withstand temperatures from -25°C to 110°C and is FDA and USDA approved, 3A certified, and complies with EU regulations (EC) 1935/2004. These properties and certifications ensure that it meets stringent sanitary standards required in food, pharmaceutical, and other clean-critical industries.

Yes, the Corner Connector 040E is highly customizable to suit various installation needs. It is available in a range of diameters from 125mm to 650mm at the wide (infeed) end and 100mm to 600mm at the narrow (outlet) end. It can also be fitted with a tool release mechanism for easy installation and removal, and is available in tapered and one-ended configurations. These options provide flexibility for integration into diverse equipment setups, ensuring a perfect fit and optimal functionality in specific applications.
