EASYFLEX EXPANSION JOINTS (Bellows)

Bellows & Expansion Joints

For big relief from stress at pipe flanges!
Expansion Joints or Compensators are flexible
Rubber elements (combined with metal and/or textile reinforcements) useful for conveying fluids and absorbing movements between sections or pipeline With a correct design they are able to absorb axial, lateral and angular movements offering both safety and insulation against noise and vibrations.
We offer the market the most comprehensive selection of rubber expansion joints, covering the widest range of applications and dimension By adapting the latest rubber and fabric technology, Kanwal Industrial Corporation can provide the most effective solutions to suit the required needs for any pipe systems

SS Metallic Expansion Joints ( Bellows)

The value of the thrust force of bellows is usually calculated by multiplying the value of the effective cross section area by the value of the flow pressure of pipe Kanwal's Easy Flex Bellows are fabricated from cylindrical tubes made of high ductility material. The cylindrical body is formed onto parallel corrugations which accommodates all basic movements without encountering wear and tear as associated with conventional mechanical devices. Bellows are designed and manufactures as per the latest additions of EJMA, ASME, GIS, BS, DIN, IS standards under the supervision of Highly qualified team of engineers and technocrats. To attain high flexibility and above average life expectancy, our Bellows are made from tested S. S. 316/321/304 stainless steel material. These bellows retain the flexibility when subject to internal pressure. Kanwal's Easy Flex Bellows have proven their outstanding performance in a wide variety of applications.

Easymount

The mountings are designed to protect the rubber inserts from oil and physical damage. A levelling device can also be provided for machines requiring precision leveling. The pods are made in oil resisting rubber and can be used on all kinds of floor. The rubber friction pad provided at the bottom obviates the necessity of bolting the machine to floor. Easy Mounts can be conveniently arranged in tandem for doubling deflection for very low frequency vibrations.

Features:

• No grouting
• Instant installation with friction pads
• Up to 60% saving on foundation costs
• Up to 95% vibration absorption
• 20% noise reduction - Fewer repairs and longer life or equipment
• Accurate work and improvement in output efficiency

Closed Spring Isolator

This unique range of Closed Spring Isolators integral rubber and fining of the spring which sets them apart from all other designs. Loose springs and plates are now history and high frequency and noise attenuation is provided with stable mounting
Originally designed for use for Tualatin of heavy equipment the Closed Spring locators are now widely wed to isolate vibration from every conceivable type of rotating and reciprocating machine some examples being big Cooling Towers, Heavy Centrifugal For Heavy Condensing Units, Pumps, Generating Sets, Chillers ate. These Closed Spring Isolators are cost effective and are a much cheaper option compared to our spring

Features:

• Unique expanding rubber and fixing of spring which also provides high frequency attenuation.
• 25mm/50mm deflection color coded springs with 50% overload capacity
• Can be bolted to supporting structure or free standing on 6 mm thick ribbed rubber pod.
• Fully height adjustable - Powder Coated Springs & Body.
• No snubbing gives maximum efficiency

Open Spring Mountings

Design Features:

• Unique expanding rubber and fixing of spring which also provides high frequency attenuation
•  Nominal 20, 25 & 50 mm deflection color coded springs with 50% overload capacity
• Can be bolted to supporting structure or free standing on 6 mm thick ribbed rubber pod.
• Fully height adjustable.
• Zinc plated metals.
• No snubbing gives maximum efficiency

Turret Rubber Mountings

EFTM rubber mountings are designed to provide Superior attenuation of medium to high frequency vibration and noise emanating from a wide range of motor driven machines particularly axial and centrifugal fans. High resilience rubber with low dynamic to static stiffness to ensures maximum of motor drive machine  particularly axial and  Centrifugal fan. High residence rubber with low dynamic to static stiffness ratio ensures maximum efficiency good creep performance and long service life.

Design Features:

• Molded in first grade natural rubber with integral Steel base and upper fixing boss
• Also available with oil and environment resistant durable Neoprene/Nitrile Rubber  *
• Manufactured in three sizes, each available in three rubber compounds identified by a color spot.
• Static  deflections of up to 8 mm with loads from 5 kg to 400 kg

Typical Applications:

• Axial and Centrifugal Form
• Air  Handling Units
• Air Conditioning Equipments - Packaged Air Conditioners
• Floating Floors
• Generators Mobile Equipments

Inertia Base

Inertia Base should be used where the machine to be vibration isolated produces large unbalanced forces which would result in excessive motion if supported directly on spring or rubber based isolators.  They should also be used where the machine is subject to external forces or is inherently unstable.

Easyflex Inertia Base comes in several standard sizes. However, these bases can also manufactured to any size and specifications, even for heavier and more complex vibration isolation problems, where viscous damping may also be required. For frame lengths greater than 2400 mm we would normally recommend 6 isolators or more for exceptionally large bases.

Examples of equipment requiring inertia Base are as follows:

• Reciprocating Compressors
• Diesel Generating Sets
• Engine/ Dynamometer Test Rigs
• Refrigeration Plants
• Pumps (Particularly Belt Driven Types)
