How It Works

Rubber and Polyurethane Connection Sleeves

AFF supplies integral rubber and polyurethane connection sleeves that are used in a wide range of industries. Unlike a sewn fabric sleeve, these are seamless tubes, so there is no seam for abrasive product to wear through.

Tan gum rubber tubing provides excellent abrasion resistance as a transfer chute for delivering dry powder cement or slurry. Clear polyurethane seamless tubing offers outstanding abrasion resistance with a full view of the product, plus excellent static dissipation.

Choose gum rubber for heavy, abrasive loads such as cement and slurry. Choose polyurethane when operators need to see the product moving or when static build-up is a concern.

Warning Signs

Signs Your Rubber Sleeve Needs Replacing

  • Thin spots or holes worn through by abrasion

  • Cracking or hardening of the rubber

  • Leaks at the clamp or connection

  • Clouded urethane that hides product flow

  • Product hang-up inside the tube

Polyurethane

Clear Polyurethane Seamless Tubing

Clear polyurethane seamless tubing gives operators a full view of the product as it moves, so blockages and flow problems are easy to spot.

It offers outstanding abrasion resistance and excellent static dissipation, which makes it a strong choice for dry powders moving through bulk handling lines.
