PU flexible hose

PU flexible hose is composed of a layer made from a strip of metal-coated polyurethane. This Flexible Hose is manufactured in diameters of 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 15, 18, 20, 22, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, 75, 80, and 90 centimeters, with branch lengths of 6 meters. This hose is highly flexible, meaning that it can easily be shaped and molded, even with the help of manual force. The body of this hose is a single unit, and its surface and inner layers have been designed and produced in a way that eliminates any gaps or seams, preventing the infiltration of any substances and ensuring high resistance.

Due to its excellent abrasion resistance, the PU hose is primarily used for transporting powders. It finds application in industries such as pharmaceuticals for material transfer, woodworking and MDF industries for transporting sawdust, agricultural and livestock industries for conveying straw and similar materials, as well as foam industries.
