Quick-action clamping for rubber hose
Protex bandclamps provide quick-action clamping and long service life in rubber hose applications.
Bandclamp secures larger diameters up to 600mm
For quick-action clamping of custom diameters from 150mm to 600mm (6in to 24in), there's a new and heavy-duty, high-strength Protex Bandclamp(TM) (model 60-698) in AISI 316 stainless steel.
Crucially, it is the only available solution for rapid clamping of diameters below 110mm.
Bandclamps excel in food and beverage processing and packaging, where speedy changeovers and constant cleaning are mandatory.
For example, twin-head auger fillers at a Telford plant fill plastic vending cups with powdered milk and coffee granules from a hopper through white silicone rubber tubes secured by Bandclamps of model 27-633/PBC.
This simple platform type with spring claw, in stainless or zinc-plated mild steel, offers custom band diameters from 110mm down to 40mm.
Maximum spring load is 65kgf at a 1.5mm extension.
In a very specialised market totalling only about ten manufacturers worldwide, Protex supplies the World's largest standard range of overcentre fasteners, which the company has built up steadily since its formation in 1954.
Protex has designed and developed, makes and stocks at Redditch, some 500 individual catalogue items, plus many variations, specials and alternative finishes or materials of construction tailored to unusual applications and conditions.
