Flexible Connectors

Corner Connector
060ES

A uniquely shaped connector made of pressure-resistant, ether-based thermoplastic polyurethane alloy with an internal polyester scrim.

Features a 110° bend to aid the drainage of CIP fluid from your process equipment.

Product Description

This Corner Connector is made from 060ES, a clear ether-based thermoplastic polyurethane alloy with an internal polyester scrim, a tapered infeed end, 110º angled bend and straight drain output end.

It is designed to redirect the clean-in-place (CIP) wash fluid flowing through your process ensuring that your equipment stays dry and your product is free from chemicals used to clean your process machinery.

Application

CIP (Clean-In-Place) wash processes to replace traditional steel tun-dish and swiveling pipework.
Made from pressure-resistant Seeflex 060ES so ideal for high head-pressure CIP applications.
Ideal for under compact machinery (i.e. sifter/sieve) where product needs to be redirected into other equipment where there is limited space.

Key Features

Can be used in applications where product needs to be transported around a bend

Replaces steel tun-dish and swiveling pipework

Ideal for high head pressure CIP applications
