Union Type Rubber Flexible Joints | Union Rubber Bellows – Applications in Borneo

RUBASIA RUBBERTECH INDUSTRIES supplies Union Type Rubber Flexible Joints (Union Rubber Bellows / Rubber Expansion Joints) across Sabah, Sarawak, and Brunei to industries that require vibration control, thermal expansion absorption, and misalignment compensation.

Our products are trusted in HVAC, water treatment, marine, oil & gas, power, and building infrastructure projects, delivering safety, efficiency, and long-term performance.

 

1. HVAC & Building Services Applications

Union rubber bellows are critical for Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems in hotels, malls, hospitals, and office towers.

🔹 Key Applications:

• Chilled water pipelines in commercial buildings (Suria Sabah KK, The Spring Kuching, Times Square Brunei).
• Pump vibration isolation in air conditioning plants.
• Fire-fighting pipelines in high-rise apartments and hospitals (Gleneagles KK, Normah Medical Centre Kuching, RIPAS Hospital Brunei).
• Noise reduction in luxury hotels, airports, and shopping malls (Kota Kinabalu, Miri, Bandar Seri Begawan).

🔹 Benefits for HVAC Systems:

• Reduces noise & vibration for occupant comfort.
• Protects pumps, chillers, and fans from premature wear.
• Simplifies installation in small to medium pipe systems.

 

2. Water Supply & Wastewater Treatment

Union flexible joints are widely used in municipal water and sewage treatment plants, where pipelines experience high vibration and flow surges.

🔹 Key Applications:

• Water distribution networks in Kuching, Kota Kinabalu, Bandar Seri Begawan.
• Pumping stations in Sibu, Sandakan, Miri, Kuala Belait.
• Sewage pipelines in Mukah, Bintulu, Limbang, Tutong.
• Rural water supply systems in Beaufort, Kapit, Lawas, Betong, Nabawan.

🔹 Benefits for Water Projects:

• Absorbs water hammer and flow surges.
• Prevents pipeline cracking in long distribution lines.
• Compensates for thermal expansion and misalignment in buried pipelines.

 

3. Industrial & Manufacturing Applications

Factories and processing plants in Sabah, Sarawak, and Brunei rely on union rubber joints to protect equipment and ensure smooth production.

🔹 Key Applications:

• Chemical plants in Bintulu, Miri, Brunei Seria oilfields.
• Food & beverage processing (milk, seafood, palm oil) in Kuching, Kota Kinabalu, Sandakan, Sibu.
• Timber & pulp mills in Sarikei, Kapit, Mukah.
• Electronics & OEM factories in Senawang (Sarawak), Bandar Seri Begawan industrial parks.

🔹 Benefits for Factories:

• Protects pumps, blowers, and compressors from vibration damage.
• Resists oils, chemicals, and process fluids (with NBR/EPDM options).
• Reduces downtime and improves production reliability.

 

4. Oil & Gas, Petrochemical & Power Plants

Borneo has strong oil & gas and energy industries, especially in Sarawak offshore, Brunei Shell Petroleum, and Sabah Oil & Gas Terminal.

🔹 Key Applications:

• Offshore rigs & FPSOs (Brunei offshore, Sarawak deepwater).
• Refinery & petrochemical plants in Bintulu, Miri, Kuala Belait, Seria.
• Power plants in Mukah, Lahad Datu, Sipitang, Limbang.
• Oil storage terminals in Labuan, Sandakan, Tutong.

🔹 Benefits for Oil & Gas / Power:

• Absorbs vibration from high-capacity pumps and compressors.
• Handles thermal expansion in steam & cooling water systems.
• Offers chemical resistance with EPDM, Neoprene, and Viton rubber grades.

 

5. Marine & Offshore Applications

Marine sectors across Labuan, Sandakan, Kudat, Semporna, Miri, and Brunei depend on union rubber bellows for reliable ship and offshore system operations.

🔹 Key Applications:

• Ship engine cooling water pipelines.
• Fishing trawler seawater circulation systems (Semporna, Kudat, Mukah).
• Offshore platform seawater & oil pipelines.
• Port facilities in Sandakan, Kota Kinabalu, Bintulu, Miri, Kuala Belait.

🔹 Benefits for Marine Use:

• Excellent resistance to seawater and salt exposure.
• Protects marine engines from vibration & shock.
• Space-saving, ideal for compact ship engine rooms.

 

6. Agriculture & Plantation Systems

Borneo’s palm oil, rubber, and agro-industries also use union rubber expansion joints in processing facilities and irrigation systems.

🔹 Key Applications:

• Palm oil mills in Lahad Datu, Sandakan, Miri, Betong.
• Rubber processing plants in Kapit, Mukah, Kudat.
• Irrigation and pumping stations in Beaufort, Serian, Limbang.

🔹 Benefits for Agro-Industries:

• Handles slurry, water, and steam pipelines.
• Absorbs pump vibration in plantation mills.
• Resistant to oils and processing chemicals.
