Peristaltic hose is a special hose for pumping material
PU clear steel wire hose is a highly flexible and durable duct hose. Since PU is nontoxic and odorless, it’s ideal for food-related applications, so people often use it to transfer grains. While PU flexible ducting hose is durable, proper usage is essential—otherwise, issues can arise that reduce its service life.
Here are some suggestions from Orientflex to maximize performance:
Choose the Right Hose
First, select a PU ducting hose that matches your needs. The market offers many types, each varying in properties, quality, and suitable work conditions. Always base your choice on your specific application.
Respect Bending Limits
When bending the flexible duct hose, ensure the bend exceeds the minimum specified radius. Bending it too sharply can damage the structure, compromising its lifespan and causing early failure.
Apply Pressure Gradually
When adding pressure to the flexible plastic hose, ensure it’s uniform and adjusted slowly. Sudden or excessive pressure can damage the pipe body.
Clean Between Mediums
When switching to a new medium—for example, transferring food after sand—clean the hose thoroughly. This prevents cross-contamination; leftover sand in food transfer lines, for instance, can pollute the food.
Post-Use Cleaning for Corrosives
After transferring corrosive materials, always clean the hose. Residual chemicals or solvents can corrode the interior, rendering the polyurethane ducting unusable.
