Expansion joints Elaflex for the oil pumping vessel: the 8 months of waiting were worth it

The order for rubber expansion joints Elaflex — from the request to arrival at the warehouse OnePROM — took almost 8 months. All the equipment is manufactured in Germany for a specific project, and the result was worth it.

The company OnePROM has shipped a batch of rubber expansion joints of the German brand Elaflex for a regular customer. The order was made in Germany for almost 8 months — it is impossible to rush this process: the quality of execution directly depends on how the expansion joints behave further, already in real operating conditions.

And the customer's conditions are far from ordinary. Expansion joints are installed on oil pumping vessel: constant contact with ГСМ, vibration, salty marine environment and work in the open ocean, where maintenance and replacement of equipment is not a matter of one call. There is no right to compromise either in materials or in safety margin.

The ERV-G series is designed specifically for such tasks as petroleum products, fuels and mineral oils, and performance LT (low temperature) adds resistance to low temperatures, which is important for both the open sea and the cold season.

Yes, eight months is a long time. But when the equipment goes to the ship, and not to the stock warehouse, the time for proper manufacturing is not a delay, but part of the guarantee that the expansion joints will work out the entire declared resource without surprises.

We thank the customer for their patience and trust, and we continue to provide complex facilities with equipment that can truly withstand extreme operating conditions.
