HammerTek Smart Elbow pneumatic deflection elbows

HammerTek Smart Elbow deflection elbows are used in pneumatic conveying systems to prevent elbow wear, material degradation, melting or streamers and build-up associated with material impacting the wall of conventional sweep elbows and plugged tees.

The elbow features a spherical chamber that protrudes partially beyond the desired 90° or 45° pathway, which causes a ball of material suspended in air to rotate, gently deflecting incoming material around the bend without impacting the elbow wall or generating heat.

The design prevents abrasive mining, concrete and reinforced plastic materials from wearing through the elbow wall, and friable products from degrading and generating dust, while preventing the frictional heat that causes plastic streamers and build-up of heat-sensitive materials on conventional elbow walls.

Engineered for dilute-phase and dense-phase pneumatic conveying, the elbows are offered in cast iron, carbon steel, aluminium, stainless steel and special alloys in 90° and 45° bends, with flanged and socket-weld ends in tube, schedule 10 pipe and schedule 80 pipe diameters from 32 to 457 mm.
