Description
This premium reinforced antistatic TPU hose is a heavy-duty flexible ducting solution designed for demanding industrial applications. Manufactured from tough, transparent thermoplastic polyurethane with an integrated PVC spiral, it offers excellent abrasion resistance while remaining lightweight and easy to handle.
The hose combines flexibility, smooth airflow and reliable electrostatic discharge control, making it ideal for conveying dust, granules, powders, pellets and light conveying media. With a wide choice of diameters from 45.9 mm to 69.8 mm (plus additional sizes), multiple coil lengths up to 60 m, and a working temperature range from -40°C to +80°C, it is well suited to workshops, production lines, extraction systems and general process ducting.
Product Features
- Constructed from transparent thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) with a robust embedded PVC spiral for enhanced crush resistance.
- Available outside/inside diameter options from 45.9 mm, 48.4 mm, 53.6 mm, 60.2 mm and 69.8 mm, plus several additional sizes to suit existing ductwork and machinery connections.
- Coil lengths offered in 38.1 m, 40 m, 45 m, 50.8 m and 60 m, with further length options available for different installation requirements.
- Wall thickness range from approximately 1.2 mm to 2.0 mm, balancing flexibility with excellent wear and tear resistance.
- Temperature resistant from -40°C to +80°C, suitable for both cold storage environments and warm process air handling.
- Antistatic properties to help dissipate static charges when correctly installed and earthed, improving safety in dust and powder applications.
- Smooth internal bore with reinforced spiral profile for good flow characteristics and reliable vacuum and low-pressure performance.
Key Features and Benefits
- Enhanced safety in dusty environments: Antistatic characteristics help reduce static charge build-up when moving dry powders, dusts and granulates, lowering the risk of sparks.
- Long service life: TPU construction offers superior abrasion and tear resistance compared with many standard PVC hoses, helping to reduce downtime and replacement costs.
- Excellent flexibility: Reinforced spiral design allows tight bending radii and easy routing around machinery, while maintaining shape and flow.
- Visual flow inspection: Transparent hose wall enables quick visual checks for blockages, product quality and contamination without disconnecting the line.
- Wide installation choice: Multiple diameters and coil lengths give flexibility when matching existing systems or designing new extraction and conveying runs.
- All-season performance: Broad operating temperature range suits varied industrial environments, from refrigerated areas to warm production processes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can this antistatic TPU hose be used for both suction and delivery applications?
Yes, the reinforced PVC spiral provides good resistance to collapse under vacuum as well as support for low-pressure delivery applications. Always check the pressure and vacuum ratings for the chosen diameter and wall thickness to ensure suitability for your system.
Is the hose suitable for use with food or pharmaceutical products?
The hose is made from TPU with a PVC spiral, which may be suitable for some non-critical applications; however, regulatory requirements vary by site and application. You should verify material compatibility and any required approvals with your quality or compliance team before using it in contact with food or pharmaceutical products.
How should the hose be earthed to maintain its antistatic performance?
To achieve effective static dissipation, the spiral reinforcement and any associated fittings should be securely connected to the site earth system. This typically involves using conductive clamps or earth wires attached to the spiral and then bonded to a verified earth point in accordance with your site’s electrical and safety standards.
