XLE DELIVERS RESULTS

One Ultra Tech customer had tried several options for a trouble spot in their foundry sand transport system. Ultra Tech engineers tackled the problem and developed the XLE Extended Life Elbow.

In a real-world application, the 4″ XLE transported over 4 million pounds of sand and lasted for a full year. When inspected, that elbow still had half of its wall thickness intact.

HOW IT WORKS

The XLE Line of elbows are heavy walled and cast from steel with high manganese content. The impact from pneumatic applications actually hardens the ID of the elbow over time!

FEATURES

PERFORMANCE

• Maximum wall thickness in the elbow extrados for best performance
• Designed for impact wear resistance

SAFETY 

• Smaller profile for easier handling
• Fewer change-outs reduce exposure hours

CONVENIENCE

• Fits in most 2D Bend applications
• Use 150# Split Flanges for easier installation

COST-EFFECTIVE

• Integrates with most existing Schedule 80 systems
• Flanges are reusable for cost savings
