Description
This premium antistatic TPU hose with rigid PVC spiral is a highly flexible, abrasion-resistant ducting solution designed for the suction and transport of abrasive media such as granules, powders, chips and dust. The robust construction pairs a tough thermoplastic polyurethane wall with a sturdy PVC helix, delivering excellent durability while maintaining good flexibility and crush resistance.
Engineered for industrial extraction and conveying systems, this hose is ideal for use in manufacturing, woodwork, plastics processing, agriculture and other demanding environments where static build-up, wear and chemical exposure must be controlled. Available in a wide range of diameters and coil lengths, it can be specified to suit both small machinery hook-ups and larger fixed or mobile extraction lines.
Product Features
- Antistatic TPU hose wall combined with a rigid PVC spiral for strength and flexibility.
- Wide choice of outside/inside diameters, including 46.2 mm, 51.4 mm, 57.6 mm, 62.2 mm and 67.6 mm, plus many additional sizes to suit varied plant layouts.
- Multiple standard coil lengths available, including 40 m, 45 m, 50.8 m, 55 m and 60 m, with further options to match system runs and minimise waste.
- Excellent abrasion resistance, ideal for conveying abrasive media such as pellets, powders and fine particulates.
- Good chemical resistance to many oils, greases and industrial chemicals commonly encountered in process environments.
- Smooth internal bore to help reduce pressure loss and minimise product build-up during conveying.
- Option to select from several performance variants (e.g. 10, 20 or 30) to balance flexibility, wall robustness and application demands.
Key Features and Benefits
- Antistatic properties help control static charge build-up, improving operator safety and reducing the risk of dust ignition in properly earthed systems.
- Highly abrasion-resistant TPU construction extends service life when handling aggressive media, reducing downtime and replacement costs.
- Rigid PVC spiral provides excellent crush resistance and kink control, helping the hose maintain a consistent flow path even under mechanical stress.
- Good flexibility and bend radius make routing around machinery, supports and tight spaces straightforward, simplifying installation.
- Chemical and oil resistance supports reliable performance in harsh industrial environments and with a wide range of conveyed materials.
- Broad selection of diameters and coil lengths enables more precise system design and easier integration with existing ducting and plant equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this hose suitable for use with highly abrasive media such as plastic granules or wood dust?
Yes, the thermoplastic polyurethane wall offers excellent abrasion resistance, making the hose well suited to conveying materials such as plastic granules, wood dust, chips and similar abrasive media. Service life will depend on operating conditions, so it is important to select an appropriate diameter and variant and to install the hose correctly.
Can this hose be used in applications where static build-up is a concern?
The hose has antistatic properties to help reduce static charge build-up during conveying. For safe use in potentially dusty environments, it must be correctly earthed in line with relevant standards and site risk assessments. Always consult a competent person when designing systems for use in hazardous areas.
How do I choose the correct diameter and coil length for my system?
Select the diameter to match the connection sizes on your machinery and ductwork while maintaining suitable airflow and pressure. Coil length should cover the full run with a small allowance for routing, avoiding excessive slack that could cause kinking. If unsure, measure existing installations or consult system drawings, then choose from the available diameter and length options to achieve a neat, efficient layout.
