Precisely fitting hoses and connection systems

Mood picture: Masterflex employees talking about hose systems for food in development

For us, a hose is much more than "a flexible elongated hollow body with a mostly round cross-section." Hoses come in countless designs for versatile applications.

If you look at the structure of hoses, it quickly becomes clear that they all consist of three components: the core, the inserts and the cover. The core refers to the layer of material that lines the inside of the hose. This means that all pumped media come into contact with it exclusively. Inserts are the components that lie between the core and the cover. These can be fabrics or textiles made of various materials, steel wires, spirals. Their main purpose is to absorb negative or excess pressure. The cover encloses the hose and protects it from all external influences.

Clip hoses

Illustration of the bending radius of a Masterflex Clip hose

These hoses are manufactured by a special process (clip process). The fabric material, which is cut into strips, is clamped in an external steel spiral to form a tension-resistant spiral hose. There is no need for welding, gluing or sewing.

Foil tubes

Product image: Foil hose - Spiral hose

In this technique, pre-produced film or plastic fabrics are wound up in a helical shape and overlappingly welded. In this production step, additional spring steel wire or plastic support spirals are embedded in the hose cover or welded on from the outside.

Extruded spiral hoses

Example picture of abrasion resistant suction hose

Extruded spiral hoses have an external or cast-in support spiral (helix) made of spring steel or stainless steel wire. It is either installed directly in the hose or mounted as an external helix above the ceiling and serves to protect against mechanical influences.

Technically demanding plastics at Masterflex

Mood picture: Masterflex employees at the production of spiral hoses

Why you can save costs with polyurethane (PUR)

A large proportion of the hoses used to extract and convey abrasive solids are made of the high-performance material polyurethane (PUR) . Thermoplastic polyurethane elastomers (TPU) combine a wide range of requirements with their level of properties, combining elasticity, resistance and aging resistance.

How polyethylene (PE) defies aggressive chemicals

Polyethylene (PE) is characterized by its high resistance to acids, alkalis and chemicals. The material has a much higher chemical resistance than PU. Hoses made of polyethylene are therefore particularly suitable for demanding applications, e.g. for transporting aggressive gaseous and liquid media or for transporting fine-grained particles such as dusts and powders in the chemical sector.
