Angel hair, also known as streamers or snakeskins, is a common problem in the plastics industry that occurs during pneumatic conveying of plastic pellets. These thin strands of plastic can clog pipelines, disrupt production, and even degrade the quality of the pellets.
Traditionally, dimpling the walls was used to address this issue. However, this method has its limitations. The abrasive nature of dimpling can wear away the pipe's surface, requiring frequent retreatments.
Spiraflo: A Better Alternative
Spiraflo offers a superior solution to angel hair. This innovative technology utilizes a unique internal grooving process that displaces metal rather than cutting into it. This creates a series of ridges and valleys that disrupt the airflow, preventing material buildup and the formation of angel hair.
Advantages of Spiraflo:
Eliminates angel hair and streamers: Spiraflo effectively prevents the formation of angel hair, ensuring smooth and efficient pneumatic conveying.
Reduces material buildup: The unique groove design minimizes material buildup, reducing the need for frequent cleaning and maintenance.
Extends pipe life: Unlike shot peening, which can wear away the pipe's surface, Spiraflo displaces metal, preserving the integrity of the pipe and extending its lifespan.
No additional pressure drop or horsepower requirements: Spiraflo does not impede airflow, ensuring efficient conveying without increasing energy consumption.
Backed by a five-year warranty: Spiraflo is backed by a five-year warranty, providing customers with peace of mind and confidence in its performance.
A proven track record: Spiraflo has a long and successful history of performance in the plastics industry, with original installations operating for over 25 years without requiring retreatment.
The Spiraflo Advantage
While some competitors have attempted to create similar grooved pipes, none have been able to replicate the superior performance and durability of Spiraflo. These imitations often use cut grooves, which can leave jagged edges on the pipe surface, leading to pellet damage and increased dust production.
Spiraflo pipe is proudly manufactured in the USA using stringent quality control procedures, ensuring consistent performance and reliability. Its reputation for excellence has earned it a place in the toolkits of many leading plastics producers.
