Filcoflex Jacob flexible connections are designed to integrate into piping systems with Jacob couplings, widely used in pneumatic conveying, filtration and bulk solids handling installations.
These flexible sleeves allow to absorb vibrations, compensate for small misalignments between equipment and facilitate installation and dismantling operations, while maintaining a tight and secure connection between pipeline sections.
Filcoflex solutions are compatible with Jacob systems as well as equivalent connections such as KMH, NORO or S&W, enabling easy integration into different industrial installations. They can also be manufactured using materials suitable for food and pharmaceutical applications, as well as for systems requiring CIP cleaning.
This type of flexible connection is commonly used in pneumatic conveying systems, connections between vibrating equipment, filtration installations and dosing systems, where it is necessary to compensate system movements without compromising tightness.
Filcoflex Jacob connections are available in different configurations depending on the coupling type and sealing requirements, with FDM and FSC solutions standing out for demanding industrial applications where a reliable and durable flexible connection is required.
The FDM flexible connections are sleeves equipped with pressed Jacob couplings, assembled with replaceable seals and fixed using Jacob clamps.
This design provides a secure, tight and easy-to-maintain flexible connection, as the seals can be replaced when needed, extending the system’s service life.
FDM connections can be manufactured in different materials depending on process conditions:
The FSC flexible connections are sleeves equipped with stitched Jacob couplings, assembled without seals, making them suitable for applications with strict hygiene or tightness requirements.
This design eliminates the seal between components, reducing potential leakage points and making them ideal for processes requiring high sanitary standards or frequent cleaning, especially in industries where hygiene is critical.
FSC connections can be confi gured with different technical solutions depending on process requirements:
Jacob flexible connections are part of the Filcoflex flexible connection range available at SUTEIN, developed to improve reliability, safety and process continuity in bulk solids handling installations.
At SUTEIN, we support you in selecting the most suitable Filcoflex Jacob flexible connection, taking into account the type of product, process conditions and hygiene or safety requirements.
