Silicone Bellows: A Hygienic Approach Adopted Across Industries

In the early days, industries comprised technicians who performed tasks of manually passing the product to the next person until it was completely assembled. Manufacturers now deploy highly technical computers and monitored systems to pass products which would be nothing more than eye-catching erector sets if it were not for the presence of?Silicone?Bellows.

Silicone?Bellows?are a special kind of Silicone Rubber Product that move in a particular direction when compressed or expanded and return back to their original shape upon release of tension. Bellows suction cups have one or more accordion-like convulations. It allows them to stretch a considerable length. Basically, bellows are pressed onto an object by pushing downward, which creates a seal as the air under the suction cup is expelled. This helps them hold fragile or durable objects with equal dexterity, endow a parts-handling machine with grip, and use that ability without ever damaging the surface of that held object.

Ami Polymer Pvt. Ltd?manufactures silicone bellows in various sizes to meet demanding requirements. Till now, Ami Polymer Pvt. Ltd has manufactured silicone rubber bellows from?03mm to 500mm Inner Diameter.

Applications of Silicone Bellows:

Bellows are used extensively in?Packaging, Baking, Cartoning, Robotics, Tablet Compression, and for a variety of automated material handling applications involving metal, glass, food, plastics, paper, and wood.

Silicone Bellows in Pharma Industry:

For Pharma Industry, bellows in?APPL?are made of high-quality silicone rubber and comply with FDA 21 CFR, which makes them suitable to use in Food and Pharma Industry. APPL also offers metal detectable and non-metal detectable bellows.

• Silicone Bellows For Powder Transfer System:

Silicone bellows are ideal for?the transfer of powders?in the pharmaceutical industry. The internal diameter of the bellow is matched with the diameter of the processing chute to allow the easy transfer of powdered material without any product loss. It prevents the material from contamination, isolates it from the surroundings, and absorbs nominal vibration.

"APPL?offers a wide range of bellows to provide a reliable, stress-free connection between chutes and process materials with strict weighing requirements in desired length, shape, and thickness."

• Silicone Bellows For Tablet Compression Machine:

Granulation contamination during the tableting process can cause costly manufacturing problems. Silicone Bellows used in punching tablets helps to prevent contamination and black spots on the tablet during the tablet compression process.

"Our recommendation will be to use bellows with the punches to provide a secondary barrier to upper punch seals. This prevents oil and other debris from contaminating granulation and ensures the production runs smoothly and cuts back on cleaning time. Our metal detectable bellows extract the unwanted debris from the tablet while punching."

Silicone Bellows in Food and Bakery Industry:

Silicone Depanner Bellows?are widely used with vacuum depanner belts throughout the Food and Bakery industry. They are a fast and effective method for extracting bakery products such as bread, cakes, rolls, and other similar items which are generally handled with a low vacuum. The products are picked and passed from oven pans on a moving conveyer belt.

Our?silicone bellows?are spashless and cut marks-free. They are metal detectable which contains contain evenly dispersed additives making it allow metal detection. This helps in reducing the risk of silicone fragments contaminating food products during depanning process.

Advantages of Silicone Bellows Suction Cups:

• Excellent metal detectable ability.
• Cost-effective.
