What we have to Offer
A wide range of materials and constructions with high-quality elastomers EPDM, SILICONE and FLUORO ELASTOMER and FLUORO PLASTICS (PTFE) – used independently or combined with woven glass or ceramic fabrics and insulating materials.
Our Team
A team of experienced sales engineers are freely available, without obligation, to discuss customers individual requirements and to design the most cost-effective solution to the problem.
What Sets Flextra Apart
FEP uses woven fabrics rather than metals to provide a flexible element in an expansion joint. This well-established practice allows the designer much greater freedom in space and movement capability than comparable metallic expansion joints and their freedom to move in all planes minimizes duct lengths and greatly simplifies support systems. Elastomeric or Fluoroplastic outer covers provide the necessary gas seal.
Flextra specializes in the design development and manufacture of fabric expansion joints to allow for:
- Thermal expansion in ducts and chimney flues
- Vibration isolation of fans or machinery
- Isolation of components for maintenance or fire risks Each unit is designed and manufactured to ensure complete compliance with customers specifications and requirements.
Typical applications are in:
- Power Station flue ducts
- Gas turbine exhausts
- Boiler penetrations
- Industrial furnace off-gas ducts
- Sugar mill boiler ducts
- Smelter off-gas ducts
- Cement works
- Drying plants
