Gortiflex® Molded Bellows
All Gortiflex® Protective Covers are made from a tube of pure elastomer or elastomer-coated fabric, formed into a bellows-type cover. This process gives you a completely sealed cover.
Gortiflex® Protective Covers can be used as expansion joints, vibratory feeder joints, compressor and engine intake and exhaust manifold connections, and fan duct connections. Gortiflex® Bellows are suitable for outdoor duty and severe environments.
Manufactured from neoprene, buna, butyl, viton, silicone and Goralon® on fabrics such as nylon, kevlar, and fiberglass, Gortiflex® can be made air and water tight. The major advantages of Gortiflex® are: a molded cover with little or no tooling charge, a large variety of materials to solve applications, and excellent extended to retracted ratio for a molded cover.
