High quality flexible hoses and metal components designed to deliver safety, durability and long-term reliability.

PU Flexible Duct / PU Food 0.6

     

Primary Application

  • Food & Beverage Production: Safe conveyance of raw food ingredients, powders, granulated materials, sugar, flour, and liquid products.
  • Abrasive Media Handling: Transport of highly abrasive materials, pellets, grains, and dry bulk pharmaceuticals.
  • Conveying & Dosing Technology: Integrates seamlessly into automated packaging machinery, filling stations, dosing units, and weight-batching equipment.
  • Extraction Arms: Excellent for localized dust extraction, ventilation, and vacuum lines on hygienic processing machinery.

Structure & Specifications

  • Wall Material: Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU / Polyether-Polyurethane), uncolored/transparent (Allows visual monitoring of media flow).
  • Wall Thickness: Approx. 0.6 mm (Lightweight class for high-flexibility applications).
  • Reinforcement: Integrated spring steel wire helix (Options include uncoated or copper-plated steel wire to provide structural crush resistance and vacuum capability).
  • Internal Profile: Very smooth bore (Optimizes flow rates, minimizes friction, and prevents material accumulation or bacterial growth).
  • External Profile: Corrugated outside (Enhances flexibility and reduces the external bending radius).

Operating Temperature Or Condition

  • Temperature Range: Outstanding thermal performance from -40°C up to +100°C.
  • Intermittent Peak Temp: Capable of handling short-term exposures up to +125°C (Ideal for standard CIP/cleaning cycles).

Key Features & Benefits

  • Extreme Abrasion Resistance: The TPU compounding offers vastly superior wear resistance compared to standard PVC or rubber hoses, drastically extending operational life when handling abrasive media.
  • Hydrolysis & Microbe Resistant: The polyether-polyurethane base ensures the hose will not break down, stiffen, or decay when continuously exposed to moisture, water, or wash-down fluids.
  • Premium Flexibility & Light Weight: The 0.6 mm wall allows the hose to achieve tight bend radii and maneuver effortlessly on dynamic extraction arms or vibrating dosing machinery without fatiguing.

Certifications & Standards
