Spiral Hose Poly Urethane Antistatic Food Contact Compliant Inox spiral Super Flexible & Telescopic
Flexible spiral reinforced hose/ducting for transport of explosion hazardous abrasive dust, powder, fibers, air, gasses, and liquids. This hose is tested to be suitable for direct contact with food and pharmaceutical products, such as sugar, milk powder, rice, cereals, coffee, chocolate, grains, tea, flour, frozen foods. This hose is suitable for explosion hazardous environments due to its electrostatic conductive properties. The hose can be used for extraction arms, long distances to connect tubing machinery or components.
The 3:1 compressible ratio allows for telescopic features such as big bag handling stations. The Poly Urethane material is suitable for contact with food according to American and European food contact regulations, the spiral reinforcement is made in Stainless Steel. The metal spiral reinforcement allows for great harmonica like telescopic compressible features. Due to the spiral the folds are consistent, and no irregular pleads will form, preventing material fatigue.
Applications
Harmonica’s, Telescopic applications, big-bag, bulk-bag emptying / discharging, charging and emptying handling equipment, long hoses, dust extracting arms, Stationary, Vibratory, Gyratory, Sifters, Screeners, Feeders, Spray driers, Fluid Bed, Static Cool Bed, Bin dischargers, Hoppers, Conveyors, Packing equipment, Storage silos, Screw conveyors, Valves, butterfly valves, Rotary valves, Tanks, Silo’s, any sort of product handling equipment, Air ducting, Fans, Inflatable seals, Covers, Outside protection sleeves, Bellows, Load cell (high volume, weight and capacity), ATEX zones 20,21,22, 0,1,2 gasses, dusts, and liquids.

Production Methods used
- Welding
- HF high frequency welding
- Welding the material and cooling it down under compression with Radio Frequency to make the TPU material flow nearly seamless to form a uniform thickness with the original material wall thickness.
- Heat contact – with silver alloy heating element
- Welds are welded surface to surface after which the weld are compressed while cooling.
- Hot air – hot filtered and conditioned contaminent-, oil- and grease- free compressed air
