Dear FlexCom customer: While non-life-sustaining businesses have been ordered to shut down in Pennsylvania due to the coronavirus crisis, FlexCom has been granted permission to stay open and continue serving its customers. The governor’s shutdown order does not apply to FlexCom because the companys plays a critical role in the manufacture and supply of goods…

Industries such as the manufacture of steel, cement, glass and electrical power require facilities capable of withstanding severe conditions, where raw materials are manipulated in processes that call for extreme heat, stress and pressure. Industrial ventilations systems demand industrial dampers capable of controlling waste heat, particulate matter discharge and other byproducts of these industrial processes. …

In a sense, no two metal bellows expansion joints are exactly alike. Metal bellows expansion joints are used in a wide range of fields from energy industries like oil, gas and electric power plants, to aerospace industries like jet engine components, to scores of unique applications as varied landfills, chemical production, and medicine. Metal bellows…

Choosing the optimal custom industrial dampers for industrial process control rests on a large set of variables. Dampers that may promote the most efficient industrial air control in one application might not be the optimal choice for another application. The type of industrial air that needs to be controlled  – clean air, particulate air, corrosive…

Landfill waste-to-energy plants and gas-to-energy plants provide a number of benefits to the environment, to the community, and to the landfill owners and operators themselves. The degree to which landfill energy plants provide the benefits hinges on the efficiency of the plants. More efficient gas-to-energy or waste-to-energy plants trap and eliminate more environmental hazards; provide…

You need to take care of the fans with fan isolation joints. It’s true in any line of work — you need to take care of the most enthusiastic customers and colleagues. Yet nowhere is taking care of fans more important than in the business of heavy-duty industrial blowers, industrial air-moving equipment, and industrial fans.…

In an industry where success rides on machine performance, teams trust their machines to FlexCom Custom Metal Bellow Expansion Joints. A major manufacturer of IndyCar and FomulaOne racing engines relies on FlexCom custom metal bellows expansion joints at their dynamometer test cells, where racecar engines are tested to see if they have what it takes to…

When it comes to equipping a sophisticated machine like a Heat Recovery Steam Generator with damage-mitigating custom expansion joint technology, a sophisticated, experienced manufacturer matters. Professionals know that Custom Industrial Expansion Joints are critical for the energy efficiency, operational efficiency, and cost efficiency of Heat Recovery Steam Generators (HRSGs) due to their strong ability to mitigate damage…

Designing an effective custom expansion joint for a GTX (Gas Turbine Exhaust) application requires strict attention to a number of unique engineering problems. Typically installed in the vital space between the turbine duct and exhaust duct, a GTX expansion joint represents a single point of failure – if the joint fails, the plant ceases to operate as the…
