Hot air hose GRIPFLEX 400

fabricsteelsilicone

Material: Coated fibreglass fabric Reinforcement: Steel wire helix, steel wear strip Lightweight, very flexible hose designed to transfer hot air, exhaust fumes and other emissions. Flammability, compliant with SOLAS. Does not contain plasticizers, silicone or halogen compounds. Good resistance to oils. Limited ability to bend constantly. Widely used in metallurgical industry. Intended for vacuum only. A version with stainless steel wire helix is also available (from 80 mm diameter). Ducting and ventilation hoses are very lightweight and flexible. They are designed to extract and convey gases and fumes of different substances, dust, sawdust, wood shavings, wood chips, loose bulk materials and granules, also highly abrasive. Available in a wide range of sizes, including diameters bigger than 300 mm. Ducting hoses are extensively used for suction (under vacuum) but also as delivery hoses (under pressure) to blow air or gases. The ducting hoses are made of thermoplastic material (e.g. polyurethane) or fabric coated with some pastic material (e.g. silicone-coated polyester). The resistance to vacuum is ensured by steel wire helix, steel strip helix or plastic helix. This vacuum resistance depends mainly on helix thickness, whereas abrasion resistance depends on hose wall thickness and the material it is made of.
