The Flexi-Connector is specifically designed for vertical movement and compression applications such as bag feeders, filling heads, and bulk bag fillers. Its construction includes a 316 stainless steel wire coil encased within ether-based polyurethane, which keeps the connector open under compression, ensuring continuous, unobstructed material flow. This makes it particularly effective in dynamic industrial environments where flexible and durable connections are essential.

The Flexi-Connector is CIP (Clean-In-Place) safe, making it easy to maintain hygiene and cleanliness without disassembly. This feature is critical in industries like food processing and pharmaceuticals, where sanitary conditions are paramount. Additionally, the connector’s compliance with 3A, USDA, EC, and ATEX standards ensures it meets rigorous safety and quality regulations, providing an extra layer of security in environments prone to dust explosions.

This connector is made from Seeflex ether-based thermoplastic polyurethane, known for its durability and flexibility. It has a wall thickness of 0.60mm to 0.70mm depending on the diameter, and it is designed to withstand temperatures from -20°C to 85°C. Its structure allows it to handle significant oscillation and compression without losing integrity, which is complemented by its dust-tight and non-breathable nature, ensuring that contaminants do not permeate the connector.

Yes, the Flexi-Connector offers a range of customization options to fit various application needs. It is available in diameters from 100mm to 300mm and can be ordered in lengths from 200mm to 6,000mm. While it does not come with options for stainless steel or plastic rings, it features a tool release for easy installation and removal, and can be specified as tapered or with one-ended configurations to accommodate unique setup requirements. These features make the Flexi-Connector highly adaptable and suitable for a wide range of industrial applications.
