Flange fittings

Flange connectors - key elements of industrial installations

Flange fittings are essential components in many hydraulic and industrial systems.   They provide flexible connections between pipes and devices. Their main task is to compensate for vibrations and movements. At Onninen we offer a wide selection of these products. Our range includes different types and sizes of connectors. They are adapted to various industrial applications.

In everyday practice, we see how crucial these elements are. They prevent damage to pipes and equipment. They reduce noise and vibration in installations. They also facilitate the assembly and disassembly of system elements. This makes them invaluable in many industries.

Types of flange fittings available at Onninen

Our offer includes various types of flange fittings. Each of them has its unique properties and applications. Here are the main product categories:

• Compensators
• Rubber compensators
• Flanged shock absorbing connectors

Expansion joints are versatile connectors used in many types of installations.   They absorb vibrations and axial movements. They are ideal for water and heating systems. Rubber compensators, on the other hand, work great in systems with aggressive media. They provide excellent sound insulation.

Flanged shock absorbers are specialist solutions. They are mainly used in heavy industry. They reduce significant vibrations and shocks. They are irreplaceable in installations with pumps and compressors.

Flange connector brands available from Onninen

In our assortment you will find products from renowned manufacturers. We offer flange connectors from the Socla and Zetkama brands. These are proven solutions of high quality. They guarantee reliability and long service life.

Our experience shows that choosing the right brand is crucial.   It affects the efficiency and safety of the entire installation. That is why we carefully select partners. We only work with manufacturers with an established position on the market.

We often come across questions about the differences between brands. Each has its strengths. Socla is famous for its innovative technical solutions. Zetkama, on the other hand, is valued for the durability and reliability of its products. The choice depends on the specific needs and the specifics of the installation.

How to choose the right flange connector?

The correct selection of the flange connector is crucial to the efficiency of the system. Several important factors must be considered. Here are the most important criteria:

• Type and parameters of the medium
• Operating temperature and pressure
• Movement compensation required
• Working environment (e.g. exposure to corrosion)
• Compliance with industry norms and standards

At Onninen we help you choose the optimal solutions.   Our specialists analyze the customer's needs. They take into account the specifics of a given installation. They advise which type of connector will be the best. Thanks to this, the customer can be sure of the right choice.

Recently, we had an interesting challenge with a project for a large production plant. The customer needed connectors for installations with an aggressive chemical medium. The operating temperature was high. High vibration compensation was also required. After analysis, we selected special rubber compensators. They were resistant to chemicals. They withstood high temperatures. They effectively dampened vibrations.

This example shows how important an individual approach is. Each installation has its own unique requirements. That is why we always carefully analyze the customer's needs. Thanks to this, we can propose the optimal solution.

Flange fittings are seemingly simple components.   However, their role in industrial systems is huge. They provide flexibility and safety of installations. They protect expensive devices from damage. They reduce noise and vibrations. All this translates into higher efficiency and lower operating costs.

In the case of reorganization or modernization of the installation, it is worth considering the selection of connectors. We often encounter situations where replacing these elements brings significant benefits. The efficiency of the system improves. Maintenance costs decrease. Safety and reliability of work increase.

Onninen recommends regular inspection of flange connections. This allows potential problems to be detected. Serious failures can then be prevented. This approach is particularly effective in critical industrial installations.
