Who is Filcoflex?

Filcoflex is a Netherlands-based company and an international leader in the design and manufacturing of custom-made flexible connections for industries such as food, pharmaceutical, and chemical.

Their portfolio includes sleeves, bellows, and flexible connection systems designed to adapt to each installation, using certified materials and solutions that meet the most demanding hygiene and safety requirements.

Unlike standard solutions, Filcoflex works with a fully customized approach, designing each connection according to the process, the product, and the operating conditions.

What problems do flexible connections solve?

In many industrial installations, rigid connections or poorly adapted solutions can lead to issues such as:

  • Product leakage or dust emissions
  • Mechanical stress on equipment and piping
  • Inaccuracies in weighing systems
  • Difficulties in installation, cleaning, or maintenance

Filcoflex solutions are designed to absorb vibrations, compensate for misalignments, and ensure system tightness, improving overall process performance.

This is particularly relevant in applications such as Jacob flexible connections for pneumatic conveying or weighing systems with load cells, where avoiding mechanical interference is critical.

The value of SUTEIN: technical expertise and tailor-made solutions

With the incorporation of Filcoflex, SUTEIN strengthens its ability to provide complete solutions for bulk solids handling, offering not only the product but also the technical expertise required for proper integration into each installation.

Our technical team analyzes each application to define:

  • The most suitable type of flexible connection
  • Materials compatible with the product
  • Process conditions (temperature, pressure, ATEX, etc.)
  • Hygiene and cleaning requirements

This allows us to deliver tailor-made solutions that perform reliably in real plant conditions, avoiding the common issues associated with generic products.
