WEB BREAK ELIMINATORS FROM WETEND — A SIMPLE WAY TO IMPROVE SHEET QUALITY AND RUNNABILITY

A blind pocket of an unused small inlet or outlet connection or just a simple sampling valve can be full of old stock, dirt and biological activity. It is a probable reason for daily web breaks.  Wetend Flush-fit Web Break Eliminator can be used to remove the  unused connections. It will improve cleanliness, runnability and quality.

Wetend Technologis has developed a series of flush mounted, tight, flush-fit Wetend sleeve&plug assemblies to remove the blind spots from the approach pipe. The final outcome is a polished, smooth, Web Break Eliminator – it eliminates the blind spots completely. If necessary, the removed connection can be taken back to the service by installing a handy WetValve into the sleeve&plug assembly.

Several sizes available

  • The range of connections is 35–210 mm.
  • Material stainless steel: plug face polished to Ra 0,8 μm, by request to 0,4 μm
