SMART ELBOW® Deflection Elbow for Pneumatic Conveying Systemsress site

Innovative thinkers behind our success stories

September 16, 2015 by Miaja Cornelius
Regular readers of this blog know that in case after case, HammerTek’s Smart Elbow® deflection elbows have eliminated wear-related leaks in pneumatic, liquid, slurry and steam conveying lines across multiple industries. When manufacturers install Smart Elbow products to address line failures, they see benefits almost immediately – less line down time, drastically reduced maintenance and cleanup costs, and significantly increased productivity.

By eliminating leaks of EPA-regulated materials common in many manufacturing processes, Smart Elbow deflection elbows further eliminate costly fines associated with the spillages.

Our library of case studies is a representative cross-section of the industries we serve, documenting the financial and efficiency success stories in plastics, abrasives, grain and food, pulp and paper, trash-to-energy and wastewater treatment. In each situation, the Smart Elbow deflection elbow addressed problems including plugging, surging, wear, environmental contamination and tight space requirements.

For many of our clients, costs savings from the Smart Elbow products have been significant, contributing to rising profitability.

What each of the case studies really illustrates, however, isn’t how well the Smart Elbow design performs, but truly innovative, outside-the-box thinking from plant and facilities managers faced with tough problems, high-wear manufacturing/processing environments and strict controls. These are individuals unwilling to compromise who sought out solutions that would only strengthen the reputation of their respective companies where it mattered most — with a consistent, high-quality product.

While the Hammertek Smart Elbow deflection elbow may have been the solution to problems each of these companies faced, the decision to improve and innovate rested with individual plant managers and engineers who wanted to make processes more efficient, more profitable and less costly.
