Frequently Asked Questions

  • What makes the Seeflex 040E Connector a versatile choice for industrial applications?

    The Seeflex 040E Connector is crafted from a clear ether-based thermoplastic polyurethane alloy, which grants it exceptional strength and flexibility, preventing fractures from constant flexing. This makes it ideal for a wide range of applications including sifters, sieves, screeners, feeders, bin discharges, hoppers, and conveyors. Its superior wear resistance means it does not tear or rip easily, enhancing durability and reliability in various industrial settings.

  • How does the Seeflex 040E Connector enhance operational safety and compliance?

    This connector is designed to be dust-tight and can withstand a maximum operating temperature of 110°C, with a surge temperature of 120°C. It is ATEX compliant, making it safe for use in dust explosion hazardous areas. Additionally, it meets stringent sanitary standards as it is FDA and USDA approved and 3A certified. These certifications ensure it is suitable for use in environments that require strict hygiene controls, such as food processing and pharmaceutical manufacturing.

  • Can the Seeflex 040E Connector be customized to fit specific equipment and processes?

    Absolutely. The Seeflex 040E Connector is available in diameters ranging from 100mm to 1,650mm and can be adapted to specific needs with various options including stainless steel rings, plastic rings, and a tool release feature for easy installation and removal. It is also available in tapered and one-ended configurations, which allows for greater flexibility in how it can be used across different types of equipment and in various operational setups.

  • What are the key physical properties of the Seeflex 040E Connector and how do they contribute to its performance?

    The connector features a wall thickness of 0.9 mm and is made from gloss-finished thermoplastic polyurethane, which provides a durable and cleanable surface. It has a hardness of 90 Shore A, a tensile strength of 40 MPa, and ultimate elongation of 593%, which makes it highly resilient under mechanical stress. It does not allow air permeability, which is critical in maintaining controlled environments. These properties make the Seeflex 040E Connector particularly effective in dynamic systems involving vibration and oscillation, ensuring reliable performance and longevity.
