There is always a challenge behind every innovation.

For New Componit, that challenge began years ago: to imagine a fabric expansion joint capable of functioning even in the presence of insulation, without losing its mechanical properties and at the same time guaranteeing durability and safety.

An idea that is as simple as it is complex to implement, which has led to the development of a new generation of high-performance textile solutions: Airflex expansion joints.

When insulation becomes a strength

A fabric expansion  joint is not just a simple component. It is a key element within a plant, because it must absorb vibrations, compensate for movements and withstand often extreme temperature and pressure conditions.

With Airflex, New Componit has opened a new phase in the evolution of industrial fabric expansion joints.

The main innovation concerns the possibility of insulating the expansion joint externally, allowing it to operate at temperatures up to 800°C without compromising its efficiency. This is an important technical achievement, because traditionally insulation tended to reduce the joint’s ability to perform its function. With Airflex, however, insulation becomes an ally, not an obstacle.

But Airflex is not just synonymous with high temperatures.

The line also includes fabric expansion joints dedicated to ventilation, designed to work up to 150°C, with advanced acoustic characteristics that reduce sound vibrations and improve workplace comfort.

What makes Airflex a strategic choice

Airflex fabric expansion joints are not only designed to withstand stress: they are manufactured to offer performance and durability never before seen in other compensators.

Their main features include:

• Structural flexibility, making them ideal for absorbing vibrations and movements without mechanical stress.
• External insulation option, a key element in reducing heat loss and optimizing the energy efficiency of systems.
• Resistance to extreme temperatures, up to 800°C in models designed for high temperatures.
• Customized solutions, thanks to a tailor-made design process that starts with a study of the customer’s needs.

Not just expansion joints: a complete service

New Componit’s real strength lies not only in its products, but also in the integrated service system that accompanies every supply.

Today’s large industrial plants require partners who are capable not only of producing components, but also of following the entire product life cycle: from engineering to assembly, from maintenance to repair.

For this reason New Componit has created a team of specialists, ready to intervene anywhere in the world, offering a complete package that includes:

• Supervision and assistance with assembly,
• Rapid repair interventions to reduce costly plant downtime,
• Preventive maintenance services,
• Thermographic reports for monitoring operating conditions,
• Complementary carpentry and welding activities.

In addition  the Expansion Control System service takes customization to the next level, with:

• Ad hoc design, thermal analysis and test chamber simulations;
• 3D or 2D engineering for total project control;
• Production with premium materials and advanced technologies.

Airflex protects your plant from unexpected downtime

One of the highest costs for an industrial plant is not the price of the component, but the downtime caused by a failure.

Airflex fabric expansion joints, combined with New Componit’s maintenance and repair service, drastically reduce these risks, ensuring production continuity and real savings.

In an increasingly fast-paced and competitive industrial world, relying on standard solutions is no longer enough.

Airflex was created for those who want to guarantee maximum efficiency of their plants, reduce heat loss and have a technical partner always at their side.
