How It Works

The Unique Flexbody is a hygienic stainless steel in-line housing designed for seamless integration into piping systems. It features two openings that can accommodate instrumentation or sight glasses for process monitoring. If not in use, hygienic blind caps seal the openings to maintain cleanliness. Made from AISI 316L stainless steel, its modular design allows easy adaptation to different pipe diameters, while the smooth internal surface ensures optimal flow and hygienic operation.
