Description
This professional polyurethane polyether hose is engineered for the safe transfer of abrasive materials and dry foods in demanding industrial environments. Its highly flexible construction allows it to bend and route easily around machinery, while maintaining a smooth internal bore for efficient, low-friction product flow.
Offering outstanding resistance to hydrolysis, abrasion and cracking, this hose is ideal for applications where durability and hygiene are essential. With a broad selection of outside and inside diameters and multiple coil lengths available, it can be tailored to a wide range of conveying, extraction and dosing systems across food processing, plastics handling, woodworking and general manufacturing.
Product Features
- Available in a wide range of outside/inside diameters including 30.8 mm, 35.8 mm, 38 mm, 41 mm and 44.4 mm, plus over 20 additional size options for precise system matching.
- Multiple coil lengths offered, including 25 m, 30 m, 32 m, 35 m and 38 m, with more than 20 further length options to suit both fixed and mobile installations.
- Constructed from tough polyurethane polyether for excellent abrasion resistance and long service life when handling granular or powder products.
- Optimised for dry foodstuffs and abrasive media, supporting clean transfer of powders, granules and pellets in process lines.
- High flexibility for tight bending radii, simplifying installation in confined spaces and around complex equipment layouts.
- Good hydrolysis resistance, helping to maintain hose performance and clarity in humid or washdown-prone areas.
- Lightweight yet robust wall construction, compatible with a variety of standard hose clips, clamps and fittings.
Key Features and Benefits
- Durable in abrasive service – Polyurethane polyether construction resists wear from sharp or rough particles, reducing hose replacement frequency and downtime.
- Supports hygienic food handling – Smooth internal surface and suitability for dry food transfer help minimise product retention and ease routine cleaning.
- Easy to route and install – High flexibility and multiple diameter options allow the hose to be routed neatly around equipment, improving safety and organisation.
- Stable performance in humid conditions – Hydrolysis-resistant material helps prevent degradation caused by moisture, steam and periodic washdowns.
- Adaptable to existing systems – Wide selection of diameters and coil lengths helps match existing ducting, pipework and machinery connections with minimal modification.
- Cost-effective operation – Long service life combined with reduced maintenance helps lower total ownership costs over the life of the installation.

Applications and Ideal Uses
This polyurethane polyether hose is suitable for a wide range of industrial and food-related applications where abrasive or particulate media need to be conveyed safely and efficiently.
- Transfer of dry food ingredients such as flour, sugar, grains and powdered mixes in processing plants.
- Conveying plastic granules, pellets and regrind in plastics manufacturing and recycling facilities.
- Extraction and transport of wood dust, sawdust and chips in woodworking shops and joineries.
- Handling dry abrasive powders and minerals in chemical and pharmaceutical production.
- Dust collection and fume extraction ducting in general industrial ventilation systems.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this hose suitable for use with all types of food products?
The hose is optimised for the transfer of dry foodstuffs such as powders, grains and granules. It is not intended for fatty, oily or liquid foods unless the specific application has been checked against the hose’s material compatibility and any relevant food contact regulations.
Can this hose be used outdoors or in humid environments?
Yes, the polyurethane polyether material offers good hydrolysis resistance, making it suitable for use in humid or washdown-prone environments and for installations where occasional outdoor exposure may occur. As with any hose, service life will depend on the specific operating conditions.
How do I choose the correct hose diameter and coil length for my system?
Measure the outside diameter of the equipment outlets or fittings you are connecting to and select a hose size that matches the required inside diameter. Then determine the total run length, including bends and routing, and choose the nearest suitable coil length from the available options, such as 25 m, 30 m, 32 m, 35 m or 38 m, allowing a small margin for trimming and adjustment.
