An elbow provides a change in material flow direction. This adds pressure losses to the system due to impact, friction and re-acceleration. As product enters the inlet of the elbow, it typically continues moving staright ahead to the first impact zone. The product is then deflected at an angle toward the outlet of the elbow. The deflection angle is determined by the elbow design the product’s characteristics, the conveying velocity, and specific load.
