The Smart Elbow^®, with its revolutionary design, has made it a versatile solution for many industries worldwide. In each industry the Smart Elbow has provided tried and true results—specifically in saving time, space, money, and conveyed material. With different sizes, alloys, and coatings available, there's a Smart Elbow that will work for you.

Plastic

Conveying plastics can present very specific complications if you aren’t using the right elbow. Other elbows can cause streamers due to friction and heat, as well as fines due to the impact of the turn. The Smart Elbow is the only elbow with a true deflection zone which eliminates harsh points of impact and reduces friction.

Grain

The Smart Elbow's unique deflection zone prevents elbow wear, plugging, product degradation, and contamination. This makes it a valuable solution to the problems that can occur during grain conveying.

Pulp & Paper

HammerTek's Smart Elbows are widely recognized for their ability to save costs, time and space by promoting a deflective direction change. The Smart Elbow is used by industry leaders all over America and Canada such as Weyerhauser, Georgia Pacific, and Northwood Pulp & Timber just to name a few.

Power

In an industry where repeated shutdowns could have catastrophic consequences, downtime must be avoided. Excessive elbow wear, blowouts, plugging, and product leakage are eliminated when Smart Elbows are installed.

Wastewater Treatment

The Smart Elbow eliminates elbow wear in waste water treatment applications. In this demanding field, other types of reinforced elbows can crack, fissure and burst in just a couple of months. Downtime and replacement costs can skyrocket. The Smart Elbow is a long lasting solution due to its ingenious design.

Others

Abrasive products can wreak havoc on conveying systems causing elbow wear leading to shutdowns and product loss. The Smart Elbow is the only elbow with a true deflection zone which eliminates problems such as wear and plugging.
