Silicone Bellow
One of the many flexible connections offered by Euro Manchetten is the silicone bellows or bellow. These bellows are cast and therefore completely seamless, which increases the flexibility and also the strength that the connection can withstand. The bellows are suitable for a wide and general use, such as the flexible connection of supply and discharge lines to barrels of weighing cells, mixers, dosing devices or similar applications.
Our silicone bellows are always FDA and ECC certified, which means they may also be used in the food industry. The food industry has strict safety requirements. It is therefore not without reason that our silicone bellows meet the most stringent requirements.
Silicone bellows produce very little reaction force due to their extreme flexibility, so they do not affect the weighing. They are highly resistant to chemicals, high temperatures and aging.
In addition, the bellows dampen the transmission of vibrations and noise. These joints are available in a standard length of 90mm and in various diameters ranging from Ø 40mm to Ø 350mm. Therefore, you will always find the right size of silicone bellow.
Two different materials are available for the silicone bellows. For fine powders, a static conductive rubber can be chosen. If the bellows comes into contact with foodstuffs, transparent silicone rubber that is FDA and ECC certified is preferred.

We have our own moulds for making silicone bellows and prescribe the type of material it should be made from. Products that need to be food safe are always produced with suitable raw materials. On request we can even test the material for you at TNO, Triskelion, INBUREX or other authorizing institutes.
