Sewn Flexible Connectors for your process

Use selected fabric construction for a moving process connection.

Siftex sewn connectors are fabricated from selected textiles for flexible equipment connections. Material permeability, coating, abrasion resistance and cleanout requirements determine whether a sewn arrangement is appropriate for the process.

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

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

Choose the fabric deliberately

permeable and coated materials perform differently.

Accommodate movement

dimensions should reflect the installed motion and offset.

Plan replacement

attachment and access influence routine maintenance.

How It Works

Measure the installed connection

Select fabric and fabrication details

Install and check movement throughout the cycle

Typical Materials & Industries

Sifting and screening

flexible connections need to accommodate machine motion.

Food ingredients

selected fabric documentation and cleaning need review.

Industrial powders

assess dust release, wear and compatibility.

Sewn connector customization

Siftex explains the customization possibilities for sewn connectors. Compare the shape and fabric choices with the actual equipment movement.

Watch on the manufacturer’s official channel

Application & Process Context

Connection dimensions, offset and movement, product and cleaning chemistry, temperature, pressure or vacuum, abrasion, and any material-compliance documentation needed.

Configuration & Application Review

Equipment duty: Use selected fabric construction for a moving process connection.
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: Fabric selection, Sleeve or transition shape, Length and diameter, Attachment details, Coatings and material properties, Custom fabrication.
Application verification: Do not assume so. Fabric permeability and seam construction vary. Describe the containment requirement so the material and fabrication method can be reviewed.

Application Questions

Will a sewn fabric connector be airtight?

Do not assume so. Fabric permeability and seam construction vary. Describe the containment requirement so the material and fabrication method can be reviewed.

What should I send RTS for a review?

Connection dimensions, offset and movement, product and cleaning chemistry, temperature, pressure or vacuum, abrasion, and any material-compliance documentation needed.

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.

See the product flow

Clear-Flex SDX Connectors >>

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.

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.

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.

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.
