Industrial flexible fabric bellows are used to protect sensitive equipment from dust, dirt, and other contaminants. By doing so, they help extend the life of critical components and improve the overall safety of the system. As the name suggests, these bellows are typically made from a woven fabric, but they also contain a polymer layer […]
The term, “industrial hoses” refers to a wide range of hoses used to transfer things like liquid chemicals, water, waste gases, production materials, dust, debris, and much more. Here we will discuss five common types of industrial hose. Get Introduced to 5 Important Types of Industrial Hoses Among many things, industrial hoses are sometimes referred […]
Drain hoses are designed to carry wastewater from washers, production equipment, floor cleaning machines, and other sources to a waste system or drain. Due to often demanding requirements, industrial drain hoses are built using materials that can withstand constant fluid contact, hot and cold cycling, a broad range of chemicals, and general impact and crack […]
Lead time delays have been a top concern of sourcing, purchasing, and logistics teams all over the manufacturing world since the pandemic began. Finding the right parts at the right price with the right lead times is far more difficult than in any time in recent memory. Long, overseas supply chains add further complexity to […]
Tubing, whether durable or disposable, or made of rubber or plastic, are important parts of many medical devices. Depending on the application, they may be made of single use plastic for hygienic reasons. On the other hand, rubber tubing or that made from more durable plastic construction is designed to be durable and so are […]
Flexible rubber bellows or expansion joints are an integral part of industrial equipment that can be found in machines in nearly every industry. These flexible rubber bellows are used to prevent the rod, piston, or other moving elements from frictional damage, contamination, and/or creating a safety issue. Given the importance of the part and demands […]
Airborne contaminates come in many forms and are found in many working environments. Because of this, there are many types of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) designed to protect people from these dangers. Some common classifications of these systems are CBRN, CCR, SCBA, and PAPR. The hoses that move air through these systems are available in […]
Although medical-grade tubing and hoses look similar to several other industrial hoses and tubes, they can differ in several ways to meet the specific requirements of medical device manufacturers and hospitals. Some tubes need to meet stringent FDA requirements but many applications do not. Choosing the tube or hose for a medical application is not […]
Flexible plastic tubing and hoses are commonly found in almost every major industry including automotive, power, medical, military and agriculture. Applications vary widely, but the most popular are gas and liquid transfer, material handling, blower, intake, and vacuum. Made using plastic compounds with varying degrees of flexibility and rigidity, they have revolutionized the ways liquid […]
Even as electric vehicles grow in popularity, the existing and new fuel-based vehicles are certainly not going to vanish from the roads anytime soon. They, as well as many industrial machines, require air intake hoses to properly function. Getting the right hose is critical for peak performance, and many times it can be hard to […]
