Weighing Flexible Connections – Filcoflex 

Flexible connections designed for weighing systems with load cells in bulk solids handling and industrial processes.

Filcoflex weighing flexible connections are designed to integrate into process systems equipped with load cells, where it is essential to ensure accurate weight measurement without external mechanical interference.

These flexible sleeves allow the connection of equipment such as hoppers, silos, feeders or reactors to the rest of the installation, preventing the transmission of mechanical forces that could affect the accuracy of the weighing system.

Their main function is to isolate the weighing system from the rest of the installation, reducing the influence of vibrations, mechanical stress and lateral forces on the weighing equipment, ensuring stable and reliable measurements.

This type of flexible connection is commonly used in dosing systems, bulk solids weighing, hopper filling and processes where precise weight control is required, while maintaining system tightness.

Filcoflex solutions are available in different configurations depending on the installation type and process requirements, with silicone weighing bellows and step bellows standing out. These solutions differ in their mechanical behavior and adaptability to each installation.

Silicone Weighing Bellows

Silicone weighing bellows are designed to be integrated into feeding systems for dosing and weighing applications, reducing the influence of vibrations on the measuring device, especially in high-precision weighing systems.

Thanks to their high flexibility, these bellows minimize the transmission of mechanical forces to the load cell, ensuring accurate and stable measurements.

Silicone is particularly suitable for applications requiring compatibility with food or pharmaceutical products, and offers excellent resistance to temperature and ageing.

Features

  • High flexibility to avoid interference with measurement
  • Reduction of vibration influence on load cells
  • Suitable for food and pharmaceutical applications
  • Excellent resistance to temperature and ageing
  • Custom manufacturing according to installation

Step Bellows

Filcoflex step bellows are seamless flexible connectors designed to connect equipment with different diameters and pipe offsets.

Their design allows to absorb system movements while maintaining good structural stability, making them suitable for installations with misalignments, displacement or geometric variations between equipment.

These bellows combine flexibility and strength, allowing to reduce mechanical stress without affecting weighing accuracy.

Features

  • Seamless design
  • Adaptation to different connection diameters
  • Compensation of displacement and misalignment
  • Good structural stability of the sleeve
  • Reduction of mechanical stress in the installation
  • Custom manufacturing according to process requirements
