Aluminum Deflection Elbows

The cast aluminum line of Smart Elbow deflection elbows is now available in tube and pipe sizes from 1.5 to 12 in. in diam. Suitable for dilute-phase and dense-phase pneumatic conveying systems, the deflection elbows eliminate a range of problems, including: abrasive wear, breakage of friable materials, plugging of heat-sensitive materials, and generation of fines, plastic streamers, snake skins, and angel hair.
    
The elbows feature a spherical chamber that protrudes partially beyond the desired 90º or 45º 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.
    
Other deflection elbows, offered in varying size ranges up to 18 in., are available in cast iron, carbon steel, stainless steel, and specialized alloys, which additionally prevent elbow wear when conveying sharp, hard, or highly abrasive materials.
