Choose a rubber sleeve around the product and operating conditions.
Siftex offers seamless tubing in a range of rubber compounds. Natural rubber, neoprene, nitrile, EPDM, silicone and other materials have different properties, so the compound needs to be selected before comparing dimensions or price.
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.

Use a welded sleeve
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.
Use a sewn fabric
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.
See the product flow
Keep the material path visible through a selected flexible connector.
Example: Observe a dry-material transfer through a clear flexible connection.
Also known as: Clear polyurethane connectors, transparent sleeves, Clear-Flex SDX.
Help clear the mesh
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.
Contain conveyor spills
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.
