expansion joint solution

HOLZ helped a chemical plant keep its air-supply system running with a new joint.

Northern Industrial Supply Co. (NISCO) remains a top Canadian distributor that any organization should turn to when it needs a top expansion joint solution. This is because NISCO carries expansion joints by HOLZ Rubber Company, a major American manufacturer of rubber products. HOLZ has a lengthy track record of satisfying customers with perfect solutions.

For a key example, consider a chemical plant that was having issues with an air-handling system. Here is how HOLZ came to the rescue.

The designed extension limit

During a routine inspection of the plant, employees discovered that one of the expansion joints on the air-supply fan connection had a tear on it. This was a troubling development, because it could have led to system leaks. A tear in an expansion joint is usually a sign that the system has moved beyond the designed extension limit of the joint.

It was critical for the plant to have an operating air-handling system without leaks. So it decided to invest in a replacement expansion joint solution as soon as possible. The plant got in touch with a local distributor that had been working with the facility – and the distributor put the call out to HOLZ.

After reviewing the situation, the HOLZ team was assigned to design a new joint that would perform better that the current configuration. In response, HOLZ developed an expansion joint solution that employed its own 945 style. The new joint was constructed to allow a lot more significant movement that the previous joint had done, so it would not tear open. The 945 design is a fully moulded joint with a bellows in its body, enabling maximum movement with no stress to the system.

The chemical plant installed the newly engineered joint, and it proved to be worth the investment, helping the air-handling system to run leak-free. The plant is still running with safe and leak-free operation, thanks to HOLZ.

NISCO has the means to facilitate similar solutions from HOLZ in Canada. Trust NISCO for the proper expansion-joint replacement or addition for any industrial application that requires it.
