Siftex Clear-Flex SDX Connectors

Keep the material path visible through a selected flexible connector.

Siftex Clear-Flex SDX Connectors
Siftex: Clear-Flex SDX Connectors. Manufacturer equipment example.

Clear-Flex SDX Connectors for your process

Keep the material path visible through a selected flexible connector.

Siftex Clear-Flex SDX is a transparent polyurethane connector material. Visibility helps operators see the product path, while the finished connector is developed around dimensions, movement, attachment and operating conditions.

Example: Observe a dry-material transfer through a clear flexible connection.

Also known as: Clear polyurethane connectors, transparent sleeves, Clear-Flex SDX.

See the product

transparent material supports visual inspection of flow and buildup.

Tailor the connection

review shape, dimensions and attachments.

Check compatibility

abrasion, cleaning chemistry and temperature determine suitability.

How It Works

1

Select material for the operating duty

2

Fabricate the required connector

3

Observe flow and inspect condition in service

Typical Materials & Industries

Dry ingredient transfers

observe flow and potential buildup.

Screening equipment

allow for motion without overstressing the connector.

Powder handling

review static, pressure and material-contact requirements.

Configuration & Application Review

Equipment duty
Keep the material path visible through a selected flexible connector.
Selection basis
Connection dimensions, offset and movement, product and cleaning chemistry, temperature, pressure or vacuum, abrasion, and any material-compliance documentation needed.
Available configuration review
Connector shape and dimensions, Selected film construction, Attachment arrangement, Movement allowance, Cleaning compatibility, Material documentation.
Application verification
No. Siftex states that Clear-Flex SDX is not inherently metal detectable. If detectability is required, review a specifically documented alternative and test it with the actual inspection system.

Welded Flexible Connectors

Use a welded sleeve

Welded Flexible Connectors >>

Join process equipment with a tailored flexible connection.

Example: Connect an equipment outlet to a moving machine while reviewing dust containment.

Also known as: Welded sleeves, flexible process connectors, custom transitions.

Sewn Flexible Connectors

Use a sewn fabric

Sewn Flexible Connectors >>

Use selected fabric construction for a moving process connection.

Example: Connect a sifter discharge with a custom fabric sleeve suited to the movement.

Also known as: Siftsox, sewn sleeves, fabric connectors, sifter socks.

Seamless Rubber Tubing

Select a rubber sleeve

Seamless Rubber Tubing >>

Choose a rubber sleeve around the product and operating conditions.

Example: Replace a flexible sleeve where the existing compound is affected by wear or cleaning chemistry.

Also known as: Seamless rubber sleeves, rubber connector tubing, elastomer sleeves.

Screen-Cleaning Balls

Help clear the mesh

Screen-Cleaning Balls >>

Help keep screen openings clear from below the mesh.

Example: Review screen blinding where an existing ball-tray deck needs suitable replacement balls.

Also known as: Sifter balls, mesh-cleaning balls, deblinding balls, Better Balls.

Under-Conveyor Catch Cloths

Contain conveyor spills

Under-Conveyor Catch Cloths >>

Contain crumbs and loose material beneath a conveyor.

Example: Collect bakery crumbs under a conveyor instead of allowing them to fall across the area below.

Also known as: Bakery crumb catchers, catch cloths, under-conveyor containment.
