Description
This premium compact polyurethane hose is engineered for the reliable transport of dust, chips and abrasive materials in industrial extraction and conveying systems. Its robust yet flexible construction, reinforced with an embedded steel spiral, provides excellent resistance to mechanical wear, kinking and crushing while maintaining a compact profile.
Designed for use in woodworking, plastics processing, grain handling, recycling plants and general industrial extraction, this hose is ideal for connecting machinery to dust and fume extraction units, central vacuum systems and material transfer lines. A wide choice of diameters and coil lengths allows you to specify the right configuration for both new installations and maintenance replacements.
Product Features
- Manufactured from abrasion-resistant polyurethane with a smooth interior for efficient dust and material flow.
- Integrated steel spiral helix for excellent crush resistance and stability under suction and light pressure.
- Available outside/inside diameters from 55 mm, 68 mm, 85 mm, 106 mm and 116 mm, plus additional sizes to suit a wide range of ducting connections.
- Supplied in practical coil lengths including 50 m, 63 m, 80 m, 100 m and 110 m, with further length options for flexible system design.
- Compact, lightweight hose construction for easier handling, routing and installation in tight or complex layouts.
- Good flexibility and bend radius retention even at lower temperatures for dependable performance in demanding environments.
- Compatible with standard hose clamps, cuffs and connectors for straightforward integration into existing systems.
Key Features and Benefits
- High wear resistance extends hose service life when conveying abrasive media such as wood chips, granules and powders.
- Reinforced steel spiral helps prevent hose collapse under vacuum, maintaining consistent airflow and system efficiency.
- Multiple diameter and length options allow precise matching to machinery outlets, manifolds and extraction plant layouts.
- Flexible yet dimensionally stable design simplifies installation and reduces the need for additional rigid ducting sections.
- Smooth bore minimises turbulence and clogging, supporting cleaner operation and reduced maintenance downtime.
- Transparent polyurethane wall (where applicable) allows visual inspection of material flow and quick identification of blockages.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can this hose be used for high-pressure applications?
This hose is primarily designed for suction and low-pressure conveying of dust and abrasive materials. It is not intended for high-pressure fluid or air applications. Always check your system pressure and select a hose type specifically rated for those conditions.
How do I choose the correct hose diameter and coil length?
Select a hose diameter that matches or slightly exceeds the outlet size of your machinery or ducting connector to maintain airflow and minimise pressure loss. Coil length should be chosen to cover the required run with a small allowance for routing and bends, while avoiding excessive slack that could cause sagging.
Is the hose compatible with my existing clamps and connectors?
The hose is designed to work with standard industrial hose clamps, cuffs and connectors sized to the hose outside diameter. In most cases it will fit existing systems, but it is recommended to verify the actual measured hose diameter and compare it with your fittings before installation.
