How It Works

How a Pressure Sleeve Works

A pressure sleeve is a flexible rubber connection for lines that run under pressure. AFF manufactures heavy-duty pressure sleeves of FDA approved white gum rubber with reinforced cotton duck jackets for pressurized food processing applications.

The gum rubber tube carries the product. The heavy-duty canvas jacket around it contains the product if the tubing ever blows out, protecting your people, your line and your product.

We offer a wide range of diameters and wall thicknesses, and tubing in other compounds, including EPDM, neoprene, nitrile and silicone, is also available.

Warning Signs

Signs Your Pressure Sleeve Needs Replacing

  • Bulging or soft spots in the tube

  • Cracks or wear on the rubber surface

  • Torn or frayed canvas jacket

  • Leaks at the clamps

  • Product residue on the outside of the jacket

Fabric Jacket

Heavy-Duty Canvas Jackets

AFF custom makes heavy-duty canvas jackets that contain any product from escaping in case of a tubing blowout.

Each jacket is made to fit your sleeve, and it can be ordered with a new pressure sleeve or for a sleeve you already run.
