impact zone The Pellbow™ Resists Wear – Naturally By design, material flowing through the Pellbow™ accumulates in the pocket or “impact-zone” and moves slowly upward and out. Incoming material is deflected at 90 degrees, with minimum resistance and no impact damage. The Pellbow™ Family Sizes 2” to 10” ( 50mm – 250mm) available

The Challenge

In traditional long radius elbow installations, the pellets slide along the elbow wall at a high velocity. The strong centrifugal forces press the pellets against the outer metal surface. This causes friction which creates heat that melts the outer layer of the pellets, resulting in a thin film build-up along the surface of the wall. This build-up eventually breaks loose, forming unwanted streamers and fluff that lead to product contamination. Abrasive materials wear out the elbow walls quickly due to these high frictional forces.
