BFM® Seeflex 040AS Connector

Description:

Our anti-static connector made of semi-transparent ether-based thermoplastic polyurethane alloy with anti-static infusion for use where static is a problem.

Documents and Resources:

For in-depth information on the features and installation of the Seeflex 040AS Connector, refer to our detailed documents and resources.

Seeflex 040AS is a semi-transparent, ether-based thermoplastic polyurethane alloy with Anti-static infusion to ensure static does not build up through product flow (friction).


An anti-static strap is required for any occurence of electricity through the system that could be caused by any unexpected current/charge and is used to ensure a spark does not pass between pieces of equipment.


Application

  • Designed for applications where static is a problem.
  • Excellent abrasion, chemical and puncture resistance.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What are the main features and benefits of the Seeflex 040AS Connector?

    The Seeflex 040AS Connector is crafted from a semi-transparent, ether-based thermoplastic polyurethane alloy infused with anti-static properties to prevent the buildup of static electricity through product flow. This feature is critical in environments where static could pose a risk of igniting flammable materials or damaging sensitive electronics. Additionally, the connector exhibits excellent abrasion, chemical, and puncture resistance, making it suitable for use in harsh industrial conditions.

  • How does the Seeflex 040AS ensure safety in static-sensitive environments?

    To mitigate the risks associated with static electricity, the Seeflex 040AS Connector includes an anti-static strap that can be connected to earthing cables. This setup ensures that any electrical charge generated through friction or unexpected currents is safely grounded, preventing the passage of sparks between pieces of equipment. This is particularly important in industries where explosive atmospheres could be present, such as in pharmaceutical manufacturing or grain processing.

  • What certifications does the Seeflex 040AS hold, and why are they important?

    The Seeflex 040AS is compliant with multiple regulatory standards, including FDA 21 CFR 177.1680 & 177.2600 and USDA, ensuring its suitability for applications involving food contact. It is also 3A certified, which attests to its compliance with sanitary standards necessary for dairy and other food-related industries. Additionally, it is EU approved and Atex certified for use in dust explosion hazardous areas, affirming its appropriateness for high-risk environments.

  • Can the Seeflex 040AS Connector be customized to fit specific industrial setups?

    Yes, the Seeflex 040AS Connector offers extensive customization options to suit various industrial needs. It is available in diameters ranging from 100mm to 1,650mm and can be ordered in lengths from 80mm to 2,000mm. The connector supports the integration of stainless steel or plastic rings for added mechanical support, and it features options such as tool release for easy installation and removal, tapered ends for better fit in irregular shapes, and one-ended configurations for specialized connections. These features make it highly adaptable to different system requirements, enhancing its utility across multiple applications.
