Description
This premium heavy duty polyurethane hose is designed for the reliable transport of dust, chips and light bulk materials in demanding industrial environments. Manufactured from robust, abrasion resistant polyurethane, it combines excellent flexibility with long service life, making it ideal for extraction, conveying and filtration systems.
Available in a wide range of diameters and coil lengths, this flexible hose integrates easily with existing ducting, machinery and extraction units. It is well suited to woodworking shops, plastics processing, grain handling, manufacturing plants and any application where flexible, durable dust and chip transport is required.
Product Features
- Heavy duty polyurethane construction for enhanced abrasion resistance compared with standard PVC ducting.
- Multiple diameters available, including 55 mm, 68 mm, 85 mm, 95 mm and 106 mm outside/inside diameter options, plus additional intermediate sizes to suit most systems.
- Offered in practical coil lengths such as 50 m, 63 m, 80 m, 90 m and 100 m, alongside further length options to match different installation runs.
- Supplied in flexible 6 m and 10 m usable hose sections, ideal for connection between fixed ductwork and moving machinery or mobile extractors.
- Clear, smooth bore design (typical for this type of hose) to help minimise pressure loss and allow visual inspection of material flow and blockages.
- Highly flexible and crush-resistant wall structure that can be bent to tight radii without kinking, aiding routing around equipment and building structures.
- Lightweight construction for easier handling and installation compared with rigid metal ducting or heavier rubber hose alternatives.
Key Features and Benefits
- Excellent wear resistance helps reduce hose replacement frequency and downtime in high-throughput dust and chip extraction systems.
- Good flexibility makes installation straightforward, even in confined areas or where ducting must route around obstacles and machinery.
- Broad choice of diameters and coil lengths enables closer matching to airflow requirements, improving extraction efficiency and system performance.
- Transparent wall makes it easier to spot build-up, blockages or potential issues, supporting safer and more efficient system maintenance.
- Compatible with a wide variety of standard hose clips, cuffs and duct fittings, simplifying integration into existing extraction or conveying layouts.
- Suitable for a range of dry dusts and chips, offering versatility across different processes and materials within the same site.

Applications and Ideal Uses
This heavy duty polyurethane hose is ideal wherever flexible, abrasion resistant ducting is required for dust and chip extraction or conveying.
- Woodworking workshops for extraction from saws, planers, sanders and CNC machines.
- Plastics processing plants handling plastic chips, offcuts and granules.
- Grain, feed and agricultural facilities transporting light bulk materials and dust.
- Manufacturing and fabrication sites requiring flexible connections to dust collectors and filtration units.
- General industrial extraction systems where a clear, robust flexible hose is preferred over rigid ducting.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can this polyurethane hose be used with my existing dust extraction system?
In most cases yes, as the hose is offered in a wide range of diameters that match common dust extraction ports and duct sizes. Check the outside or inside diameter required on your equipment, then select the nearest matching hose size and use suitable hose clips or adaptors where needed.
Is this hose suitable for transporting hot air or high-temperature materials?
The hose is designed primarily for ambient temperature dust and chip transport. For consistently high temperatures, or where hot air and materials are present, you should verify the temperature limits of your specific variant and consider a hose specifically rated for higher temperatures if necessary.
How do I choose the correct length and diameter of hose for my application?
Select the diameter based on the connection size of your machinery and the airflow required by your extraction unit; larger diameters generally allow higher airflow with lower pressure loss. Choose a coil length that provides the required 6 m or 10 m working sections with a little extra to allow for routing and bends, avoiding excessively long runs that may reduce extraction efficiency.
