Deflection Elbows Now
Available in Cast Aluminum
The cast aluminum line of Smart Elbow
defl ection elbows from HammerTek is
now offered in tube and pipe sizes from
1.5 in. (3.8 cm) up to 12 in. (30.5 cm)
in diameter. Engineered for dilute-phase
and dense-phase pneumatic conveying,
the deflection elbows prevent minerals,
aggregate, sand, iron ore, and other
abrasive materials from impacting the elbow
wall, and causing wear, failure and
downtime. The elbows feature a spherical
chamber that protrudes partially beyond
the desired 90º or 45º pathway, which
causes a ball of pellets suspended in air
to rotate, gently deflecting incoming material
around the bend without impacting
the elbow wall or generating heat. Other
deflection elbows, offered in varying size
ranges up to 18 in. (45.7 cm), are available
in cast iron, carbon steel, stainless
steel and specialized alloys.
