the hammertek smart elbow for pneumatic and slurry conveying systems reduces costly maintenance and downtime by eliminating elbow wear, plugging, and product degradation such as streamers and fines. due to the design of the smart elbow, conveyed material changes direction by deflection rather than impact with the elbow walls or impact with a filled pocket. the smart elbow's unique design makes it the only elbow on the market with a true deflection zone. this deflection zone allows conveying lines to operate years rather than months before elbow maintenance is required, eliminating frequent plant shutdowns caused by elbow wear or plugging. also, by gently deflecting the conveyed material into a new direction change, product degradation such as streamers, angel-hair, and fines is reduced and/or eliminated. free trials and one-year warranties available.
