Applications range from the FD fan to the primary air, tempering air, coal mill, boiler flue duct joints, economizer, air heater, precipitator, baghouse, fabric filter, ID fan, scrubber, absorber, reheater and stack expansion joints.
Our fabric expansion joints are currently in service in peaking plants, on shipboard power systems, on co-generation turbines, natural gas pipeline pump stations and a variety of heat recovery.
Flextron International supports its fabric expansion joint products with experienced field engineers, On-Site service installation, repair service, and CAD supported application engineers to help you solve your expansion joint problems.
We have the unique ability to react quickly to support your outage needs for fabric expansion joints. Flextron International can product round, rectangular and custom
shapes for every application. We are well known Thailand and South East Asia for our “Round the Clock” service.
Flextron International is the company that first developed the use of fluoropolymer (PTFE) materials in expansion joint systems. Specifically designed for a variety of wet and dry corrosive applications, these materials will exceed your system requirements.
These is no more demanding service for expansion joints than wet scrubbers. Flextron International can provide the correct PTFE materials to handle this hostile environment.
More sensitive to downtime than most industries, our refinery customers appreciate the high quality of our fabric expansion joints. These joints were designed with turned out angle flanges and a ‘flat belt’ design for easy installation and access.
The corrosive conditions around the power and recovery boilers as well as the duct joints to the fans, precipitator, scrubber, and stack are all locations where you will find expansion joints.
In addition to Flextron International’s standard configurations provided in this catalog, many specially engineered designs have been produced for the following applications:
REFINERY MARKET APPLICATIONS
Our products are installed at the CO boiler, exhaust gas ducting, precipitator, fans, crude reheat units, and the balance of the air and gas ducting.
ECONOMIZER APPLICATIONS
Our fabric expansion joints are ideally suited for this fly ash laden application. Flexible high strength and lightweight fabric belt elements in combination with our engineered frames offer longer life and lower installed costs.
