Master-PROTECT pipe bends and pipes
The solution for challenging installation situations: Master-PROTECT pipe bends and pipes with PU lining offer innovative, durable and reliable wear protection.
Pipe bends and pipes with PU lining
The special feature of Master-PROTECT pipe bends and pipes is the combination of material use and moulding.
A production plant stands and falls with the availability and reliability of its pneumatic conveyor system. However, production downtimes are often caused by parts that are particularly susceptible to wear, such as pipe bends or pipes. Unplanned production downtimes increase operating costs many times over. This results in high repair and maintenance costs and reduced productivity.
We offer a proven complete solution: pipe bends and pipes with PU lining.
The material polyurethane, PU for short, is significantly more wear-resistant than most of the materials previously used in this area. The combination of PU lining and the patented geometric arrangement of the plastic achieves outstanding results in terms of service life.
How the Master-PROTECT pipe bends work
The use of extremely resistant polyurethane and an internal geometry that is adapted in comparison to standard bends counteracts the impact wear that occurs especially in pipe bends.
The conveyed material hits the PU impact surface in such a way that no material attack can occur (see illustrations). As with a trampoline, the bulk material bounces and is conveyed quasi diagonally through the pipe bend. The conveying speed is hardly slowed down at all.
The internal geometry of the bend leads to a separation of the solids strand from the wall, particularly in the case of wear-critical flight conveying. This results in an even distribution of concentration across the cross-section. A uniform velocity profile is achieved over a very short distance in the downstream section. The downstream pipe is subjected to considerably less stress.
The installation set for Master-PROTECT pipe bends
Compatible system for all existing systems
Master-PROTECT elbows can be installed in existing systems without the need for design modifications.
Easy replacement of:
- Pipe bends with large bending radii
- Conventional wear protection bends
We supply standard connection dimensions with fixed flanges (PN6, PN10/16) and standardised internal diameters (DN 50 - DN 200) in accordance with DIN 2448, which enable edge-free transitions of the PU lining to pipelines.
