Uni Connect

Silicone Connecting Sleeves

The Uni-Connect silicone sleeve system is ideal for connecting two items of process equipment using Tri-Clover type couplings.  The use of a flexible connector provides a simple, effective method of height adjustment and also compensates for misalignment.

Profile

Uni-Connect

The Uni-Connect system is a simple, cost effective method for joining two items of process equipment where a temporary dust-tight connection is required. The use of the flexible connection is ideal for material transfer and can be used to dampen any vibration problems.

The Uni-Connect system incorporates the use of Tri-Clover clamps and ferrules to ensure simple integration into any product transfer situation. Using Tri-Clovers also ensures the transfer piece has a smooth bore avoiding unnecessary ledges or product traps. The Uni-Connect is moulded in one piece for FDA compliant silicone rubber. The silicone material complies with FDA 177, 2600 and is translucent.

Uni-Connect (Lite)

We also offer a supplementary range of Uni-Connector sleeves with extended lengths up to 200mm. Uni-Connector Lite offers increased flexibility and has ‘Supa-Lite’ inner flanges supplied as standard.
