Description
This premium polyurethane polyether antistatic hose is a robust, flexible ducting solution designed for the suction and transport of abrasive materials, powders, granules and dry foodstuffs. Manufactured from high-quality polyurethane with antistatic properties, it offers excellent abrasion resistance and long service life in demanding industrial environments.
Ideal for use in food processing, plastics handling, woodworking, pharmaceuticals and general industrial extraction systems, this hose maintains flexibility while withstanding repeated movement, vibration and particle impact. Its smooth internal surface supports efficient material flow, while the antistatic design helps to minimise static build-up in pneumatic conveying and extraction applications.
Product Features
- Available in a wide range of diameters, including 30.9 mm, 35.8 mm, 38 mm, 41 mm and 44.4 mm outside/inside diameter options, plus many additional sizes to suit different systems.
- Multiple standard coil lengths from 25 m, 30 m, 32 m, 35 m and 38 m, with further length variations to match installation and routing requirements.
- Constructed from durable polyurethane polyether, offering excellent abrasion resistance and flexibility compared with conventional PVC ducting.
- Antistatic design helps dissipate electrostatic charge during the suction and transport of dry, non-conductive materials.
- Suitable for the safe handling of dry foodstuffs, powders and granules where hygiene and material compatibility are important.
- Lightweight and highly flexible, allowing easy routing around machinery, tight spaces and complex extraction layouts.
- Compatible with a range of standard hose clamps, connectors and couplings for quick and secure installation.
Key Features and Benefits
- Enhanced wear resistance: Polyurethane construction significantly improves resistance to abrasion from sharp or aggressive particles, reducing hose replacement frequency.
- Reduced static build-up: Antistatic properties help minimise the risk of electrostatic discharge when conveying dry, dust-generating materials, supporting safer operation.
- Reliable material flow: Smooth interior bore supports consistent airflow and material movement, helping to prevent blockages and process interruptions.
- Flexible installation: Extensive diameter and coil length options allow close matching to existing ducting systems, minimising the need for adaptors and modifications.
- Versatile across industries: Suitable for abrasive media and dry foodstuffs, enabling standardisation of hose types across multiple applications within a facility.
- Long service life: High mechanical strength and resistance to kinking, tearing and impact contribute to lower maintenance costs over time.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this polyurethane antistatic hose suitable for use with food products?
Yes, the hose is designed for the suction and transport of dry foodstuffs and is suitable for handling materials such as grains, cereals, powders and similar dry ingredients where a flexible, abrasion-resistant ducting is required.
Which hose diameter and coil length should I choose for my installation?
Select the hose diameter to match the outside or inside diameter of your existing pipework, ducting or equipment connectors, allowing for secure clamping. Coil length should be chosen to cover the full routing distance with a small allowance for bends and positioning; options include common lengths such as 25 m, 30 m, 32 m, 35 m and 38 m, along with many additional length variants.
Can this hose be used for both suction and discharge applications?
Yes, the hose is suitable for both suction and transport (discharge) of abrasive materials and dry foods when correctly connected to your system. It is commonly used on extraction units, transfer lines and pneumatic conveying systems where flexible routing is required.
