Pipework Bends, Tubes & Fittings
At APT Systems, we are a specialist stockist and trusted supplier of precision-engineered large-radius pipe bends, tubes, couplings, and fittings for use in high-efficiency pneumatic conveying systems. With a deep understanding of the engineering demands across multiple industrial sectors, we deliver robust, flow-optimised components designed to meet the highest standards of performance, reliability, and durability.
Whether you are building new conveying infrastructure or upgrading existing systems, our extensive product portfolio ensures you have access to components that support long service life, reduced downtime, and enhanced material flow control.
Specialist Supplier of Large-Radius Pipe Bends & Tubes
APT Systems offers the unique position of stocking and catering for customers’ requirements. We hold more popular diameters in stock but can also stock diameters outside of this range, if a specific demand with customers is required. These products include a range of large-radius bends and tubes in stainless steel, aluminium and glass, specifically engineered to provide smooth, efficient flow with minimal pressure loss—critical factors in the effective movement of bulk powders, granules, and particulate materials.
Our components are fabricated from high-quality materials and manufactured to tight dimensional tolerances, ensuring compatibility with both standard and bespoke pneumatic conveying system configurations. The broad radius range allows for design flexibility, optimised routing, and gentle handling of sensitive materials.
- Outer Diameter Range: 38.0mm to 205mm
- Wall Thickness Options: 1.5mm, 2.0mm, 3.0mm
- Bend Radii Range: 75mm to 1500mm
- Angle: 45° & 90° standard + other angles
- Material: Stainless Steel, Aluminium & Glass
- High Wear Resistant Bends: For abrasive materials
Precision Compression Couplings and Fittings for Seamless Integration
In addition to pipe bends and tubes, APT Systems supplies a full suite of pipe couplings and specialist fittings to complete your conveying system infrastructure. Each component is designed to offer a secure, leak-free fit and high mechanical strength under operational pressures.
Our range includes:
- Y Branches – Ideal for smooth directional flow splits, reducing turbulence and material build-up
- T Pieces – Durable connection points for multi-directional conveying with minimal flow resistance
- Compression Couplings – Secure pipe jointing solutions to support fast assembly and maintenance access.
All fittings are engineered for precise alignment and high repeatability, improving system integrity and reducing the likelihood of wear and leakage.
Project Support, Technical Advice & Supply
APT Systems provides dedicated project support focused on technical advice, specification, and the supply of pneumatic conveying pipework components. We work closely with customers, consultants, and system integrators during the planning and quotation stages to help define optimal pipework layouts, material selections, bend radii, and connection methods. Our detailed product knowledge and application experience ensure that all supplied components are correctly specified for performance, longevity, and seamless integration into new or existing conveying systems.
APT Systems – Industry Applications
APT Systems supports a diverse range of industries with components engineered to withstand the unique challenges of different material types, system pressures, and wear conditions. Our solutions are widely used in:
- Plastics Processing – conveying plastic pellets, resin granules, and powders
