Formed Rubber Bellows

Formed rubber bellows are often used in industrial applications. Rubber bellows take engineering and experience. We’re skilled in designing molds for any shape and size of rubber bellows to cover all ranges and directions of motion.

We have supplied major oil companies and EPCs with formed rubber bellows. For example, we have sold to Exxon, Chevron, Shell, Worley, Technip, Kiewit, Fluor, etc…

Molded bellows may have an extended resting position (convolutions are extended in a resting place). Think of a convoluted drainage pipe, for example. See more about rubber expansion joints.

Formed rubber joints can extend and contract.

We can supply formed bellows in almost any material and size. In addition, we have the most extensive inventory of rubber expansion joints. Therefore, we are competitive in price.

We also supply molded spherical rubber expansion joints designed to be used in piping systems. These molded, single-sphere-designed bellows are inherently more robust than conventional hand-built style spool arch types.

In addition, the spherical design’s “flowing arch” reduces turbulence as well as sediment build-up.

Formed rubber bellows are made from a spindle. Material is wrapped around the spindle.

Bellows can be made by sealing or stitching alternating inner and outer material rings. Also, they can be made by forming or molding.

The Proco Series  231/ET Lined Expansion Joints are designed for rugged, demanding, corrosive chemical applications such as chemical and petrochemical process facilities and highly corrosive industrial piping and pollution control systems.

The Series 231/ET expansion joints are especially prevalent in the paper industry. Other competitive metals or plastic expansion joints are unrivaled by their ability to resist corrosive attacks at elevated temperatures and pressure.

The Proco Series 251/BT PTFE & FEP Lined Expansion Joints are designed for rugged, demanding, corrosive chemical applications such as chemical and petrochemical process facilities and highly corrosive industrial piping and pollution control systems.

The Series 251/BT expansion joints are especially prevalent in the paper industry. This is because their ability to resist corrosive attack at elevated temperature and pressure is unrivaled by other competitive metal or plastic Proco expansion joints.

The Proco Style 445-BD Molded Expansion Joints can be used for corrosive applications found in chemical-petrochemical, industrial process piping systems, power generation plants, pulp/paper plants, water and wastewater sewage, and pollution control systems.

Wherever metallic joints, lap joints, or PTFE and FEP-lined rubber expansion joints were previously used, the Proco Style 445-BD can also be used.

The Proco Style 442-BD Molded Expansion Joints can be used for corrosive applications found in chemical-petrochemical, industrial process piping systems, power generation plants, pulp/paper plants, water and wastewater sewage, and pollution control systems.

This expansion joint features two convolutions for minimal movements, higher pressure/temperature ratings, and short face-to-face opening requirements. Wherever metallic joints, lap joints, or PTFE and FEP-lined rubber expansion joints were previously used, the Proco Style 442-BD can also be used.

Proco Products and Proco expansion joints are leading check valve manufacturers designing and manufacturing a cost-effective mechanism to prevent the backflow of fluids and gases.

There are various types of check valves available on the market, including ball and flap type check valves; however, our rubber check valves are specifically designed to be durable and practical, reducing the likelihood of common maintenance problems.

They are entirely passive devices requiring neither maintenance nor any outside power sources or manual assistance to operate.

Petrochemical products are derived from petroleum products. In addition, many other chemical compounds are derived from fossil fuels such as coal, natural gas, or other renewable sources such as corn or sugar cane.

With over 30 years of experience in supplying the chemical and petrochemical industries with high-quality expansion joints and check valves, Proco Products, Inc. understands the unique needs and demands that companies in these businesses face.

Proco operates worldwide and maintains one of the largest product inventories in North America. For more information on expansion joints and check valves from Proco Products,
