What Is Secutex?

Often welding is the easiest and quickest means of attachment. The various overlapping perforated plate designs enable a wide range of applications. Please note the mounting options and welding instructions!

Funnels for pipes and bright steel In the production of pipes and bright steel socalled funnels are used for threading in the production plants. In most cases funnels made of polyamide are used, but due to the material hardness and the sharpedged pipe ends wear out very quickly. It depends on the material sphere As an alternative, secutex offers polyurethane funnels for this purpose. In contrast to polyamide, these are softer from the material and therefore also more wearresistant than sharpedged pipe ends. This means longer service life for the customer as well as better surface protection for very sensitive materials. For every size secutex funnels can be produced in the required dimensions according to customer drawings.

The attachment chain may only be used as an attachment accessory without edge protection if a 20% reduction in load lifting capacity is taken into consideration or if the nextlargest chain thickness is used. Otherwise, a secutex SKK hinged edgeprotector must be used. A “sharp edge” exists when the edge radius is smaller than the nominal thickness of the lifting chain. Further information is available in the “sharp edge“ chapter.

Wipers for steel bars In the production of pipes and steel bars, socalled wipers are used for cleaning. The wipers have a round or rectangular outer profile and an inner profile that matches the shape of the object to be cleaned. Normally, several wipers are mounted in series, whereby the passthrough openings are smaller than the profile. The bar is pushed through the elastomer plates at high velocity, and the rubbery material strips the surface free from grease and cleaning fluid residues. It is the edge that counts! Just a like a car window wiper, it is the edge that counts. Normally, the wipers are stamped from sheet goods. During stamping, the elastomer becomes distorted; the inner edge is therefore not dimensionally stable and is at an angle. Only part of the edge wipes emulsions from the surfaces depends on the profiles. This edge is rapidly worn down; the cleaning action is then unsatisfactory. Streakfree cleaning
