Frequently Asked Questions

  • What makes the LM3 Connector ideal for low temperature environments?

    The LM3 Connector is crafted from 100% woven polypropylene, which allows it to maintain flexibility and operational integrity in extremely low temperatures, down to -70°C (-94°F). This characteristic makes it perfectly suited for food processing applications and other environments where low temperature flexibility is crucial.

  • How does the LM3 Connector handle pressure changes in the system?

    Designed with permeability in mind, the LM3 Connector features a woven 2×2 twill construction that allows air to pass through, alleviating pressure buildup within the system. This breathability is essential for maintaining the structural integrity of the connector and the attached machinery, especially in processes that generate or involve varying internal pressures.

  • What certifications does the LM3 Connector have, and why are they important?

    The LM3 Connector is FDA certified under 21 CFR 177.2800, making it safe for food contact—a critical requirement for food processing industries. Additionally, it is 3A certified, ensuring it meets the sanitary standards required in food, beverage, and pharmaceutical applications. The connector is also EU approved and Atex certified for use in dust explosion hazardous areas, with some restrictions, providing further assurance of its suitability and safety in specific operational environments.

  • Can the LM3 Connector be customized to fit specific applications?

    Yes, the LM3 Connector offers a range of customization options to suit different industrial needs. It is available in diameters from 100mm to 1,650mm and lengths from 80mm to 1,500mm, allowing for precise integration into various systems. Options include the integration of stainless steel or plastic rings for added support, tool release features for easy installation, and tapered or one-ended configurations to accommodate unique system requirements. These features ensure that the LM3 can be tailored to meet the specific demands of various operational setups, enhancing its utility across multiple industries.
