Introducing the "Longer Lasting" Air Vent Bellows
Assembly to fit the Models: M7, M9, M11 & Newer 7s Exclusively
from RPI!
Many of our customers have inquired as to the availability of a
longer lasting air vent bellows assembly to fit the Midmark M7, M9
and M11 sterilizers.
Lets start at the beginning. There are two
different styles of assemblies the diaphragm style and the bellows
style. Currently the RPI RCB089 and Midmarks are both diaphragm style
assemblies. Simply put, to make this style of assembly, two pieces of metal are
stamped out of a large sheet of material and the ends are welded together. This
style has only one convolution doing all the work (by expanding and
contracting) and seems to wear out rather quickly.
The other style is a
bellows assembly. Imagine welding several diaphragm assemblies together, and
instead of only one convolution doing all the work, we have several
convolutions doing the work of one. Since several convolutions (not just one)
are working, the bellows-style will last much longer than the diaphragm style.
This bellows style air vent system also costs more to manufacture than the
diaphragm, but now you have a choice from RPI.
Its the RPI
advantage! You can choose the RPI diaphragm style (RCB089) or you might want to
step up to the Rolls Royce bellows style (RCB100) assembly and pay
a little more for a longer lasting assembly. The choice is yours! |
