Seeflex 020E Connector

Our lightest connector made of clear, lightweight ether based thermoplastic polyurethane alloy, mainly used for weigh-scale type applications.

Product Description

Seeflex 020E is a clear, lightweight ether-based thermoplastic polyurethane alloy, mainly used for weigh-scale type applications.

Application(s):

  • Designed for weigh-scale type applications.
  • Ideal for applications where Seeflex 040E is not flexible enough.  
  • The Seeflex 020E is the thinnest Seeflex connector in the BFM® range.

Key Features

Weigh Scale

Lightweight, transparent Seeflex media, specifically designed for load and weigh scale type equipment

Vertical Movement

Also excellent for applications with vertical movement as it is particularly flexible

Thin Walls

Ideal for feed chutes using optical level sensors (thinner, transparent connector walls)

Strong

Seeflex 020E is strong and will not fracture as a result of constant flexing

Conditions and Compliance

  • Vibration
  • Oscillation
  • Compression
  • Dust-tight
  • Food safety
  • ATEX

Tapered

Seeflex 040E is available as a tapered version where different entry and exit diameters are required.

Also often used as a simple hopper solution.

Tool Release in action

Tool Release

For added security, this option has a significantly firmer snap-band that makes it virtually impossible to remove by hand and requires a specially shaped tool.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it possible to make a Seeflex 020E but in an even thinner material eg. 0.10 or 0.15mm?

No, 020E is the thinnest available.

Can Seeflex 020E be reused when running pharmaceutical powder through it, or should you replace them after each use?

Yes, you can definitely reuse them - typically companies will use them until they start to show a little wear.
