SMART ELBOW® Deflection Elbow for Pneumatic Conveying Systemsress site

Inspiration from industrial problem-solving

by Miaja Cornelius
In case after case, we have shown that replacing worn sweep elbows in pneumatic, liquid, slurry and steam conveying lines with HammerTek’s revolutionary Smart Elbow® deflection elbows eliminated frequent leaks and their costs in product loss, repair and replacement, production line downtime and product and facility contamination. In case after case, HammerTek Smart Elbow units have prevented exposure to OSHA and EPA compliance risk.

Our extensive library of case studies highlights how well Smart Elbow products work in water/wastewater treatment, power generation, trash-to-energy and a variety of processing plants including food, beverage, plastics and pharmaceuticals.

In one study, we included a detailed cost analysis showing how a processor replacing long radius sweep elbows with Smart Elbow deflection elbows eliminated a $217,000 quarterly expense to replace worn elbows. In another, we demonstrated how the Smart Elbow design has saved more than $169,000 to date.

While these case studies certainly show our Smart Elbow products in action, what each truly highlights is how innovative leaders across a wide variety of industries have solved tough problems, overcome unique challenges, and increased productivity, product quality and profitability for their companies.

At HammerTek, we are proud to be associated with these forward-thinking individuals and their companies. I encourage you to read their stories — both within our case study library and on their own company websites. If you’re looking for inspiration, perhaps that’s where you’ll find it.
