Industrial Hoses for Machines, Systems and Professional Applications
Industrial hoses are designed for technical and commercial applications where simple standard hoses are not always sufficient. Depending on the design, they can be used, for example, to convey air, liquids, blasting media or other substances. High mechanical loads, pressure, abrasion, temperatures or specific material requirements may all play a role.
Which hose design is suitable therefore always depends on the specific application. Material, hose construction, diameter, wall thickness and other technical properties should be selected to match the medium and operating conditions.
Selecting the Right Industrial Hose for the Application
The term industrial hose covers different hose types for specialised tasks in industry, trades, workshops and mechanical engineering. Accordingly, the construction and properties of individual products can vary considerably.
Typical applications for industrial hoses may include, for example:
- mechanical and plant engineering
- workshops and production facilities
- surface treatment and blasting technology
- conveying and piping systems
- cleaning and processing operations
- vehicle and metal processing
- construction, renovation and maintenance
Since industrial hoses can differ significantly depending on their intended use, the technical specifications of the respective product should always be checked separately. Properties such as pressure resistance, abrasion resistance, electrical conductivity, temperature range or media resistance do not automatically apply to every industrial hose.
Sandblasting Hose for Abrasive Blasting Media
A specialised area within industrial hoses is hoses for blasting technology. During sandblasting and compressed-air blasting, abrasive blasting media are conveyed through the hose at high speed. This requires a correspondingly resistant hose construction.
The PROFI SM1 STRAHLMEISTER sandblasting hose cut to size from diconfa is designed for professional blasting work. Its inner layer consists of an NR/BR/SBR blend with a smooth, electrically conductive and highly abrasion-resistant surface. The outer layer is made of SBR and is designed to withstand the demands of professional applications.
Typical applications include sandblasting, paint stripping and surface cleaning as well as work in steel construction, mechanical engineering, façade renovation and vehicle preparation. According to the product information, blasting media such as quartz sand, steel grit, corundum or glass can be used.
Sandblasting Hose Cut to Size
The current SM1 sandblasting hose is available in various inner diameters from 13 to 88 mm. The length can be selected to suit the application between 0.1 and 40 metres. This allows the hose to be matched to the existing blasting system and the respective working situation.
Further information on abrasion resistance, temperature range, standards and technical properties can be found directly on the sandblasting hose product page.
What Matters When Choosing an Industrial Hose?
Medium and Load
The selection starts with the medium that is to be transported through the hose. Liquids, air, gases or abrasive solids place different demands on the inner lining and the overall hose construction. It should also be considered whether the hose will be subjected to mechanical stress continuously or only occasionally.
Diameter and Length
The hose diameter should match the existing connections and the respective system. The required length is also important: it should provide sufficient freedom of movement without creating unnecessary excess hose in the working environment.
Technical Properties
Depending on the application, additional properties may be decisive. These include, for example, abrasion resistance, electrical conductivity, pressure or temperature resistance and resistance to certain media and environmental conditions. The technical data of the respective hose design are always decisive.
Order Industrial Hoses Cut to Size
Especially for machines, systems and professional workplaces, hose length and diameter are often determined by the existing installation situation. At diconfa, suitable industrial hoses can be ordered, depending on the product, in different dimensions and cut to the required length.
The industrial hose range is being expanded step by step. In addition to the sandblasting hose currently offered, further technical hose solutions for different industrial and commercial applications are planned for the future.
Further Technical Hoses at diconfa
Not every application requires a specialised industrial hose. For extraction tasks and for conveying water, air and other media, other hose types are available depending on the intended use. You can find an overview of the entire range in the parent category Hoses.
At diconfa, you will also find dedicated sections for extraction hoses and PVC hoses. This allows you to select the hose design specifically according to the respective application.
