5 Things To Consider When You Choose Bellows British Columbia
Heavy industrial machinery and equipment need bellows to protect them. These rubberized collapsible attachments act like a glove for metallic and other surfaces of machine equipment.
In the years of growing our manufacturing business, we at Custom Rubber Bellows, have come to understand that no two bellow can be the same. To give that perfect fit, one has to improvise with customized manufacturing.
Types of Bellows
There are mainly four different types of bellows British Columbia . These are as follows.
- Single fold bellows
- Moulded bellows
- Rubber disc bellows
- Cylindrical fold bellows
We would like to state here that you may have a different name or even a separate type of a bellow in mind. We are open to suggestions and love to know more as a manufacturer.
We at Custom Rubber Silicone Molds are always keen on providing customized solutions for buyers and patrons.
Moulded Designs
Moulded bellows are very popular even in the commercial and heavy transport industry. They act as protective gloves for various components of heavy vehicles.
- Protects against dirt and mud splashes on high roads.
- Safeguards against constant exposure to wind and air pollution.
- Covers exposed mechanisms from the harsh seasonal effects of rainfall, water flooding, and snow.
- Protects against exposure to oil, gas, and chemicals.
Importance
Before we discuss the designs and tailor-made features, it is important to know why we need bellows in the first place.
- If you cover your machines with bellows they are protected against daily abrasion caused by the wind and dust.
- Pollution and harsh UV rays of the Sun can affect the surface of equipment and machines too.
- A bellow on moving machinery that vibrates during operation provides a better grip to the operator or worker.
- Bellow can protect machinery from liquid exposure like water, acid, alkalis, and gases during its operations.
There are various makes and designs of bellows available with us made of different materials, one of which will be suitable for your requirement.
We strongly believe that perfect measurements are the key to a well-fitted bellow. This will maximize protection.
Materials
The materials used for manufacturing bellows are mainly four in number. These are as follows.
- Natural rubber – This is very flexible and can withstand heavy-duty usage of machinery. Wear and tear are less compared to others. Offers a lasting finish as well.
- Silicone – These offer a high standard of rebound resilience but fair weakly against abrasive natural elements. it offers resilient support through temperature fluctuations but cannot protect against oil and gas.
- Nitrile – It is very resilient against oil but fails as a fire-resistant material.
- Neoprene – It is weather resistant and protects against Sun and ozone effects. It is stretchable and flexible which makes it last even with heavy-duty usage. It is weak in offering protection against acidic fluids and alkalis.
How To Choose
Always focus on the end use of the bellows and the nature of operations of the machinery on which it will be used.
When you choose a bellow, keep in mind its purpose. The selection of material will be directly based on that.
