Industrial Hoses | Flexaust Archives

Flexible hoses can transport, distribute, and extract a variety of materials in industrial settings. Facilities rely on durable industrial hoses to handle air, dust, and fumes. They also carry out severe service and light material handling tasks within a system, providing safe performance despite potentially harsh environmental conditions on a worksite.

Common Use Cases and Applications

As a flexible industrial hose manufacturer, Flexaust serves commercial and industrial sectors like chemical, construction, transportation, food processing, and woodworking with versatile, high-quality hoses. Our products feature the materials, specifications, and fittings necessary for superior performance tailored to your operation. Industrial hoses come in a range of lengths and diametric sizes to provide the right fit for any system. Common uses for these versatile hoses include:

Ventilation. Industrial hoses contain and transport air throughout a facility for ventilation and fume extraction purposes. Air duct systems in both industrial and commercial sites use hoses for efficient air distribution throughout a building. As an air duct hose manufacturer, Flexaust can assist you in finding your ideal option for low-pressure ventilation and venting tasks.

Dust and fume removal. Sites that carry out processes like woodworking, welding, or grinding need reliable hoses to extract dust contaminants, vapors, and fumes from the workspace that might otherwise be hazardous to workers.

Light material handling. Industrial hoses are capable of transporting lightweight materials for industries like pharmaceutical manufacturing or food processing. Industrial hoses for consumable goods will consist of FDA-accepted materials and fittings.

Commercial vacuum cleaners. Industrial hoses are also applicable in light-duty vacuums for the commercial sector. They’re an optimal choice for plants or foundries requiring flexible hosing that’s light for easy mobility.

Advantages of Using Industrial Flexible Hoses

Industrial hoses offer numerous benefits, including:

Versatility. Given the available hose diameters and lengths, connectors and hose fittings, and material options, it’s simple to incorporate flexible hoses into your pre-existing system to fulfill the needs of your specific application. These lightweight hoses aren’t permanent like metal piping would be, and they can handle a wide range of temperatures to best fit your unique application.

Performance. Flexaust products are designed for applications with wide temperature ranges, allowing for optimal operational performance even under harsh conditions.

Spatial concerns. Industrial hoses can have the compact size and flexibility necessary to fit in tight spaces or those that are difficult to reach.

Types of Industrial Flexible Hose Materials

Constructed from plastic, rubber, or even metal, flexible hoses commonly consist of materials like:

Coated fabric
Neoprene
Polyethylene
Polyolefin
Polyurethane and static-dissipative polyurethane
Polyvinyl chloride
Silicone
Stainless steel
Thermoplastic rubber

The ideal material for your flexible hose is based on the needs of your application. Corrosion-resistant stainless steel, for example, is perfect for high-temperature applications, whereas polyvinyl chloride is a great all-purpose material.
