Description
This premium reinforced antistatic TPU hose is designed for the safe, reliable conveyance of abrasive media in demanding industrial environments. Manufactured from tough thermoplastic polyurethane with a smooth inner bore, it combines excellent wear resistance with stable flow characteristics and low pressure loss.
Ideal for use in dust extraction, bulk material handling, plastics processing, woodworking and chemical transfer systems, the hose delivers dependable performance where electrostatic discharge control and chemical resistance are essential. A wide choice of diameters and coil lengths allows you to match the hose precisely to your plant, machinery and installation layout.
Product Features
- Available in a wide range of outside/inside diameters including 45.1 mm, 47.2 mm, 52.8 mm, 59.4 mm, 68.6 mm and many additional sizes to suit different connection requirements.
- Multiple standard coil lengths offered, such as 38.1 m, 40 m, 45 m, 50.8 m and 60 m, plus further length options for flexible installation planning.
- Reinforced hose construction for enhanced pressure resistance, structural stability and long service life in continuous-duty applications.
- Antistatic design to help dissipate electrostatic charges generated by fast-moving abrasive particles and powders.
- Smooth inner surface for optimised flow, reduced turbulence and minimised product build-up, even with fine or cohesive media.
- Excellent chemical resistance provided by high-grade TPU for compatibility with a wide variety of process media.
- Flexible, lightweight hose that is easy to route, handle and install in tight or complex ducting runs.
Key Features and Benefits
- Reliable handling of abrasive media: Robust TPU wall and reinforced design help resist wear from granules, pellets, chips and dust, reducing downtime and replacement frequency.
- Improved process safety: Antistatic properties assist in preventing the build-up of static electricity, supporting safer operation in areas with combustible dusts or vapours.
- Efficient material flow: The smooth bore minimises friction and pressure drop, promoting consistent throughput and improving the performance of extraction and conveying systems.
- Versatile chemical compatibility: Excellent resistance to many oils, solvents and chemicals makes the hose suitable for a broad range of industrial transfer and extraction tasks.
- Installation flexibility: Numerous diameter and coil-length options allow you to match the hose to existing pipework and machinery, reducing the need for adaptors and extensions.
- Cost-effective durability: High abrasion and tear resistance extend service life, helping to lower overall maintenance and replacement costs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this hose suitable for use with highly abrasive materials such as plastic pellets or metal chips?
Yes, the reinforced TPU construction and abrasion-resistant wall are specifically designed for conveying abrasive media, including pellets, granules, chips and dust, making it well suited to demanding extraction and transfer applications.
How does the antistatic property of the hose work, and do I need to earth it?
The hose is manufactured with antistatic properties to help dissipate electrostatic charges generated by flowing media. For effective performance, it should be correctly installed and bonded to an appropriate earth in accordance with your site’s electrical and safety procedures.
Can I cut the hose to a shorter length to suit my installation?
In most cases the hose can be cut down from the supplied coil length to the exact run you require using suitable cutting tools and following safe working practices. Always ensure cut ends are cleanly finished and securely clamped to maintain performance and safety.
