With a view to offering the customer innovative methods and technologies, Plasteco Milano has recently introduced an innovative and CERTIFIED fixing system for the cables of the bellows for air supported structures.

The innovative S-Block cable clamp offers certified sealing anchoring for ropes of different diameters, increasing the bellows anchoring points’ mechanical safety, that are the most stressed part of an air supported structure, often risking tearing in the event of a strong gusts of wind.

The new system made of aluminum monobloc is unalterable to saline mist and to any aggressive environment, it is also considerably less bulky and easy to assemble compared to the previous system consisting of shackles, thimbles and tensioners.

The stranded cable now penetrates the airdome at a reduced height compared to the past and the cable ends with a pressed cable lug which avoids the single leakage of dangerous metal wires.

S-Block anchoring bellows sealing ropes of PLASTECOMILANO for air supported structures has been verified, certified and subsequently patented: https://www.s-block.eu/il-brevetto/.
