Industrial hoses

Versatile industrial hoses for specialized applications

From agriculture and construction to the oil, chemical, and food industries, our hoses serve a multitude of sectors with varying needs. Our portfolio encompasses hoses crafted from rubber, silicone, PTFE (Teflon), plastic, composite materials, and stainless steel, all engineered to withstand pressure and/or vacuum conditions.

Discover hoses within our range that offer high-temperature resilience, exceptional abrasion resistance, unparalleled chemical compatibility, and stringent purity standards.

How to choose a hose?

Evaluate both the inner and outer diameters. Remember to account for the overall length, inclusive of fittings.
Factor in the temperature of the medium being transported, ambient conditions, and any cleaning processes.
Understand the hose's intended environment, potential stressors, and primary function.
Align the hose material with the physical and chemical attributes of the medium it will carry.
Determine the system's maximum operational pressure or vacuum levels for optimal compatibility.
Opt for the most suitable fitting and assembly method based on the hose type and its function.
Our offerings include pressure testing, documentation, bespoke labeling, and delivery options.

Industry hose selection criteria by material

When selecting a hose material, the chemical resistance of the liner (the layer in contact with the conveyed medium) is one of the most important factors.

Knowing the chemical concentration of the conveyed substance and choosing a hose that is compatible with it, together with proper, intended use, helps preserve hose quality and thereby increases service life.

Our Chemical Resistance Chart helps you choose the right material.

Safety, maintenance, service life

Safe operation starts with selecting industry hoses that meets all requirements. In addition, always make sure to:

  • stay within the permissible temperature and pressure range,
  • maintain the minimum bend radius,
  • avoid torsion, excessive tensile loads, and external damage.

During operation and at regular intervals, it is very important to check for cracks, blistering, abrasion, leaks, and loose fittings. If needed, it is also advisable to perform a pressure test. Proper storage also increases service life: keep the hose in a dry, cool place, protected from UV exposure.

In maintenance, hose cleaning is a critical point: use cleaning agents that are compatible with both the conveyed medium and the hose material, then rinse thoroughly, and dry the system so no deposits or moisture remain. There is no fixed replacement interval, hose replacement depends on operating loads, the media being conveyed, and inspection results.

Frequently Asked Questions

What hose material should I choose?
open
Your choice mainly depends on the application requirements. If you are unsure, we will help you find the right hose for the specific task and operating conditions.
– PTFE hoses (Teflon): PTFE hoses are widely used across many industries thanks to their excellent chemical resistance and high temperature resistance. With textile braiding, PTFE hoses can withstand higher pressures as well. They are also available in versions that comply with food and pharmaceutical standards (FDA, USP).
– Metal hoses: Corrugated stainless steel metal hoses made of AISI 316L with AISI 304 stainless steel braid are suitable for conveying liquid and gaseous media. Stainless steel, wear- and heat-resistant interlocked hoses are used for high-temperature media such as ash, hot powders, and granulates.
– Composite hoses: Designed for transferring hydrocarbons such as crude oils, heating oil, fuels, diesel, aviation fuels, lubricating oils, paraffins, and media with 100% aroma content, as well as other petroleum products, chemicals, LPG, and LNG.
– Plastic hoses: We offer a wide range of plastic hoses for various industrial applications, for the safe conveying of liquids, gases, powders, or granulates, from 5 mm up to 254 mm in diameter.
– Silicone and rubber hoses: Used in a wide range of domestic and industrial applications. Rubber offers good abrasion and impact resistance, flexibility, and tensile strength. Silicone hoses are also in demand in many areas, for example, they perform very well in food, pharmaceutical, and mechanical engineering applications.
What information should I provide when requesting a quote for an industry hose?
open
You can speed up the quotation process by providing the S.T.A.M.P.E.D. details: size/length, temperature, application, material, pressure, ends/couplings, and the delivery/hand-over terms.
When should an industrial hose be pressure tested?
open
Pressure testing is recommended when commissioning a new industry hose, as part of periodic inspections, and whenever an abnormal condition is suspected (leaks, damage, overload). It should also be carried out after fitting replacement or maintenance. Testing is also advised before returning to service after a longer shutdown or before switching to a different medium.
Can I get help with selection?
open
Yes. Our specialist team has many years of experience, so they can find a solution for any application. Based on photos and a layout drawing, together with the technical parameters, we can provide an accurate quote even without an on-site visit.
