SLEEVES
Rubber sleeves and silicone sleeves
Sealing sleeves, pipe sleeves or transition sleeves are our specialty - at SDGummi we specialize in the most economical custom-made production of sleeves made from various elastomers. All sleeves are made by hand, so that we can offer our customers a wide range of materials, almost any wall thickness and special designs with fabric as a pressure carrier.
There are different solutions depending on the quantity required and the material
for the optimal connection of rubber cuffs and silicone cuffs.
Rubber cuffs and silicone cuffs
Manufacturing overview
seamlessly bonded rubber sleeves
Rubber sleeves or pipe collars serve as a connector for pipes to compensate for vibrations or expansion and are a cost-effective solution for a flexible connection. With our seamlessly bonded cuffs we can
use a wide range of panel materials,
in order to also offer custom-made products economically.
The panels are cut to size with a diagonal cut at the connection points, sanded and glued. There are special adhesives for each material to achieve a seamless and permanently stable connection.
coiled
rubber sleeves
The hand-assembled rubber sleeves are wound on stainless steel tubes made from calendered compound sheets, firmly fixed on the tubes and then vulcanized in an autoclave. This creates a long piece of hose from which the cuffs can be cut to the appropriate length. This energy-intensive and complex production is only coming
for small or large series.
We recommend these products if there are special demands on the material, such as particularly high operating temperatures or chemical influences as well as high mechanical loads, where, for example, fabric inserts are required as a pressure carrier.
inflatable
bag clamps
Inflatable sleeves are used for dynamic sealing against powder, dust or liquid media. By inflating with compressed air, the inflatable sleeves are fixed to a fixed point in pipes and seal the surrounding gaps when filling big bags and barrels and when renovating sewers.
The inflatable sleeves are handcrafted exactly to your requirements. Depending on the diameter and the gap to be sealed as well as the desired expansion, nylon threads and fabric inserts can be incorporated into the products. Highly abrasion-resistant materials, all-round vulcanized connections and vulcanized air connections ensure that the inflatable sleeves and inflatable hoses last as long as possible.
It's all about the connection...
The durability of rubber sleeves depends not only on the choice of suitable material but also on the quality of the connection. Cost-effective sheet materials in offcut qualities
for the production of rubber sleeves with an overlapping bond are widely available on the market. For simple applications and small quantities, we offer our customers hand-made sleeves made from jointed sheet cuts, seamlessly bonded with heat-activated special adhesives. For special material resistances, we recommend vulcanized rubber sleeves made from our own mixtures, which are wound onto pipes to measure.and vulcanized in an autoclave.
