Field Problem / Customer Need
In the Screw Cooler zone of the soda industry, a need arose for an expansion joint capable of withstanding high temperatures and movements. Considering the harsh operating conditions and precise movement capability requirements, a custom-designed steel-framed fabric expansion joint was developed.
BundleTec Innovation and Engineering Solution
Manufactured entirely from AISI 310S (1.4851) grade stainless steel, this expansion joint is resistant to operating temperatures of 900°C. The expansion joint has a capacity of 80 mm compression, 30 mm extension, and ±15 mm lateral movement. Thanks to these features, it ensures the safe management of thermal expansion and mechanical movements in the Screw Cooler zone.
The ArminTec model multi-layered fabric expansion joint on it guarantees long-lasting performance. The dome-formed robust wire mesh located in the inner layer of ArminTec ensures that the expansion joint fabric maintains its form during movement. In this way, even when the expansion joint fabric is exposed to axial compression/extension and lateral movement, it remains insulated from heat and is protected against thermal fatigue. This innovative design enables the expansion joint to operate reliably even under harsh temperature conditions.
This steel-framed fabric expansion joint has been designed in accordance with the precise requirements of the Screw Cooler zone and has fully met customer expectations with its durability, movement capability, and thermal performance.
Our metal expansion joint is manufactured entirely from AISI 310S (1.4851) stainless steel and provides durability at operating temperatures of 900°C. It offers exceptional movement capabilities:
These features ensure the reliable management of thermal expansion and mechanical movements in the Screw Cooler zone.
The metal expansion joint is reinforced with ArminTec multi-layered fabric designed for long-lasting performance. The inner layer contains a robust, dome-shaped woven wire mesh that maintains the fabric's shape during movement. This innovative design ensures the fabric is insulated from heat, providing protection against thermal fatigue during axial compression, expansion, and lateral shifts.
With its advanced engineering, this steel-framed fabric metal expansion joint meets the stringent requirements of the soda industry and offers unparalleled reliability under extreme temperature conditions.
