Fast, flexible production of coupling stations for pipe conveyor systems

steel bends, branch pipes and pieces of piping made of special glass or HVA non-rust stainless steel, specially developed by hs-Umformtechnik, can be installed. The latter is claimed to provide 20 times the service life. The flexible design also makes the subsequent replacement of standard parts easier. The coupling stations are delivered fully assembled, and material distribu- tors by hs-Umformtechnik are ready for use immediately on delivery. With an in-house CAD department, hs-Umformtechnik can offer not only coupling stations using the modular system, but also individual solutions for all applications, pipe dimensions and space requirements. hs-Umformtechnik GmbH – Germany Email: kontakt@hs-umformtechnik.de Website: www.hs-umformtechnik.de

DVK-6 pipe couplings so that they are pressure- and vacuum-proof, and are fastened to and exactly aligned with the robust stainless steel frame construction using pipe clamps. With conventional stainless steel branch pipes and bends, granules with a high glass fibre content can quickly cause wear and tear. The flexible design allows the distributor elements to be upgraded with highly wear-resistant components. For such applications, individual elements such as stainless

HS-UMFORMTECHNIK produces cou- pling stations at its location in Grünsfeld- Paimar, Germany. The stations are used to supply injection moulding machines with plastic granules in centralised pneumatic pipe conveyor systems. From the silo or dryer, the granules are directed to the relevant production lines via the flexibly extensible multi- branch devices. The distributor elements consist of branch pipes, pipe bends and pipe elements. These are connected to
