Filquip is proud to stock WAM SINT Flexible Wear Bends locally in Brisbane.
Engineered specifically for abrasive bulk material handling, these flexible pipe bends are cast from WAM’s patented SINT engineering polymer around a internal helicoid spring core. This design allows for maximum flexibility while absorbing heavy particle impact, dramatically extending component lifespan compared to traditional metallic elbows.
Key Specifications & Features
-
Flexible Geometry: Easily flexes to any custom angle up to 90° for quick align-and-fit retrofits.
-
Available Diameters: 2″, 3″, and 4″ pipe sizes.
-
Broad Impact Area: Engineered with a wide material deflection zone to eliminate localized wear spots.
-
Lightweight & Ergonomic: Significantly easier to handle and install than heavy cast iron or lined steel bends.
-
Gentle Material Handling: The elasticity of SINT polymer cushions bulk solids, preventing particle degradation, attrition, grinding, or jamming.
-
Durable & Inert: Resistant to mechanical degradation and biochemical decomposition under continuous operation.
-
Food-Grade Option: FDA-compliant food-grade SINT variants available for sensitive powder processing.
Why SINT Polymer? Unlike rigid steel bends where abrasive particles continuously scour the metal wall, SINT’s elastic surface absorbs the kinetic energy of conveyed particles and rebounds—drastically reducing abrasive wear and blowouts in pneumatic conveying lines.
