Hollow-Back Elbows

Hollow-Back Elbows

Hollow-Back elbows are designed to capture abrasive product in the fabricated back cavity. The abrasive material then abrades against itself. Hollow-Backs are made using a tube or pipe elbow, thus eliminating the need for transitions. Typical construction is with 10 gauge material, but thicker metal and abrasion-resistant steel plate are also available.

This elbow is a great solution for higher abrasion applications with material that tends to pack. Using Hollow-Back elbows for this type of product helps reduce loss of material and system maintenance time. In turn, this improves system efficiency and increases production.

Hollow-Back elbows are available in:

  • Any degree and centerline radius (CLR)
  • Carbon steel and stainless steel
  • Pipe and tube
  • Plain ends, flanged ends, grooved ends, and other specified ends

Hollow-Back elbows are most commonly used in heavy industry to convey powdered coal and sand.
