How We Helped a Customer Extend Pipe Bend Life by 10x

Pipe bend hardened steel

From monthly bend replacements to ten months and still going strong.

In pneumatic conveying systems, pipe bends are often among the first components to show signs of wear. As conveyed material changes direction, the bend can experience significantly more impact and abrasion than straight sections of pipe.

Platinum Silicone vs Peroxide Silicone

Platinum Silicone Hose

Discover the key differences between platinum-cured and peroxide-cured silicone for biopharma, pharmaceutical, food and beverage applications. Learn how curing technology affects purity, extractables, leachables, transparency and compliance.

Why PTFE Fuel Hose Is the Best Choice for E85 Fuel Systems

PTFE Lined Fuel Hose

Is rubber fuel hose suitable for E85 fuel? Discover how PTFE fuel hose compares in terms of chemical resistance, temperature performance, durability and long-term reliability. Learn why PTFE is the preferred choice for E85, flex-fuel and high-performance automotive fuel systems.

How Central Material Feed Systems Boost Production Efficiency

Material coupling station

Bend radius plays a critical role in pneumatic conveying performance. From velocity changes and impact zones to accelerated wear rates, the wrong bend specification can increase maintenance, energy consumption, and downtime. Discover why large-radius bends improve efficiency, reduce erosion, and extend system lifespan.
