The WAM EW-Type Extracurve Wide Radius Anti-Wear Pipe Elbow is a specialized pipe fitting designed to change the direction of material flow in pneumatic conveying systems while significantly minimizing wear and abrasion. It is engineered to handle highly abrasive materials, making it ideal for applications in cement, concrete, and other bulk material handling industries.
Key Features:
Wide Radius Design: The wide, smooth curve minimizes material impact and turbulence, reducing wear compared to sharp elbows.
Anti-Wear Technology: Incorporates specialized materials or internal linings to resist abrasion from conveyed materials.
Flexible Design: The "Extracurve" suggests a degree of flexibility or bendability to accommodate specific installation requirements.
Smooth Flow: The internal geometry is designed to maintain smooth material flow, minimizing pressure drop.
Flanged Connections: Features flanged connections for easy and secure installation into existing pipework.
Yellow Color: The distinctive yellow color is a standard feature of TOREX Extrabend elbows, making them easily identifiable in industrial settings.
Applications:
Cement Conveying: For changing the direction of cement flow in pneumatic conveying systems.
Fly Ash and Silica Fume Conveying: For handling the highly abrasive nature of these concrete additives.
Aggregate Conveying: For conveying sand, gravel, and other aggregates in concrete batching plants.
Dry Batch Plant Conveying: For any application in dry batch concrete plants where abrasive materials are conveyed through pipes.
Benefits:
Extended Service Life: Significantly reduces wear, minimizing downtime and replacement costs.
Reduced Maintenance: Requires less frequent maintenance compared to standard elbows.
Improved System Efficiency: Minimizes pressure drop and ensures smooth material flow.
Flexibility: The "Extracurve" design allows for adaptability in installation.
In summary, the WAM EW-Type Extracurve Wide Radius Anti-Wear Pipe Elbow is a specialized pipe fitting designed to minimize wear and improve efficiency in pneumatic conveying systems handling abrasive materials, particularly in cement and concrete processing applications.
