Seeflex 060ES Connector

Pressure-resistant connector made from a clear, ether-based thermoplastic polyurethane alloy with polyester scrim.

Product Description

Pressure-resistant Seeflex 060ES is a clear, ether-based thermoplastic polyurethane alloy with an internal polyester scrim.

The internally bonded scrim restricts the Seeflex sleeve from stretching and provides superior pressure resistance.

Application(s):

  • Overpressure situations for continuous pressure up to 1.7 bar

    IMPORTANT: Seeflex 060ES is designed to resist extremely high pressure and therefore it should not be used where the connector is intended to act as a pressure-release point.

    * Engineering adjustments should be made for changes in diameter. For length adjustments or non-static applications, contact BFM®.

    The Seeflex 060ES Connector replaced the Camlon Connector.

BFM® Seeflex 060ES Quick Access Port - transparent background

Quick Access Port

A 56mm polyurethane thread 'port hole' with a stainless steel screw-in plug that is added to the wall of the connector. 

Allows fast, easy access to product flow for testing, sampling or adding small-volume ingredients.

The Quick Access Port is not currently 3A approved so the connector will no longer have 3A approval.

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

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.
