The aluminum alloy ring fabric bellow is a specialized dust-proof and material-guiding connector designed for bulk loading systems (e.g., cimento, fly ash, grãos, chemicals, etc.). It features wear resistance, high-temperature tolerance, excellent sealing, and flexible expansion/compression, making it ideal for dynamic industrial applications.
Constructed with high-strength aluminum alloy rings and durable fabric or rubber materials, it ensures reliable performance in harsh environments.
Caraterísticas principais
Aluminum Alloy Rings
Lightweight yet corrosion-resistant, maintaining structural integrity under repeated movement.
Evenly distributed support prevents collapse or deformation.
Durable Flexible Material
Inner Layer: Abrasion-resistant fabric, polyester, or silicone-coated (temperature range: -30°C to +200°C).
Outer Layer: Anti-static and anti-aging treatment for extended service life.
Superior Sealing Performance
Effectively contains dust, complying with environmental standards (e.g., ISO 14000).
Customizable flanges (round/square) to fit various bulk loaders and discharge outlets.
Flexible Expansion & Compression
Compression ratio up to 1:3, adapting to equipment vibration or misalignment.
Easy installation reduces downtime.
Wide Applications
Suitable for cement plants, power stations, grain silos, and chemical industries (e.g., truck/railcar loading systems).

the comparison between Aluminum Alloy Ring and Iron Ring telescopic Bellow
1. Material Differences
Aluminum Alloy Ring fabric Bellow
Frame Material: Rings or spiral rings made of aluminum alloy (e.g., 6061, 6063).
Caraterísticas: Lightweight, excellent corrosion resistance (ideal for humid/chemical environments), but lower heat resistance (typically ≤200°C).
Aplicações: Food, pharmaceutical, and electronics industries where weight and corrosion resistance are critical.
Frame Material: Flat steel flanges (galvanized or stainless steel).
Caraterísticas: High strength, superior heat resistance (galvanized steel ≤300°C, stainless steel ≤500°C), but heavier weight. Galvanized steel may rust in humid conditions.
Aplicações: High-temperature exhaust, industrial dust collection (e.g., welding fumes, boiler emissions) in heavy industries.
2. Structural Design
Aluminum Alloy Rings
Typically spiral or spaced circular rings embedded internally, offering flexible multi-directional movement.
Wider ring spacing reduces airflow resistance but weaker against negative pressure (prone to collapsing).
Iron Rings
Tightly arranged flat flanges wrapped in abrasion-resistant fabric, providing rigid support and high negative pressure resistance.
Larger bending radius, suitable for linear pipelines or minor displacements, but less adaptable to complex bends.
3. Performance Comparison
Caraterística | Aluminum Alloy Ring fabric Fole | Iron Ring fabric Fole |
Peso | Light | Pesado |
Resistência à corrosão | Excellent (anti-rust/chemical) | Moderate (galvanized needs maintenance) |
Heat Resistance | Medium (≤200°C) | High (stainless steel up to 500°C) |
Resistência à pressão | Low | High (suits high-pressure/vacuum systems) |
Flexibilidade | High (multi-directional) | Medium (axial movement preferred) |
Custo | Higher (aluminum price) | Lower (galvanized steel is economical) |
4. Selection Guide
Choose Aluminum Alloy Rings para:
Lightweight needs, frequent movement, or corrosive environments (e.g., chemical plants, cleanrooms).
Lower temperatures and high sealing requirements.
Choose Iron Rings para:
High-temperature, high-pressure, or vacuum conditions (e.g., boilers, metallurgy, mining).
Budget constraints with controlled humidity (galvanized requires periodic maintenance).
5. Additional Notes
Fabric Options: Both types can use various linings (e.g., silicone fiberglass, PTFE-coated fabric) based on medium compatibility (abrasion/chemical resistance).
Instalação: Steel flanges often require bolted flanges, while aluminum rings allow quick clamp mounting.
For optimal performance and lifespan, evaluate temperature, pressure, medium, and displacement requirements when selecting materials and structures.
