BULK MATERIAL HANDLING

The Bulk Material Handling industry for hose applications, for instance, refers to the transfer and transport of dry bulk materials. These materials include grain, plastic pellets, and chemical powders/granules, which all use pneumatic conveying systems (using either low-pressure or vacuum).

CHEMICAL

The Chemical Manufacturing industry uses a broad range of metal hose for the many products that must be conveyed. A corrugated hose can be manufactured in various alloys to provide the best corrosion resistance for the intended application.

CHIMNEY

Stripwound hose is often used as a liner for chimneys because it provides superior flame/heat resistance as well as ease of cleaning. Furthermore, the flexibility of stripwound hose allows it to be easily inserted into a chimney as a liner or reliner in existing or new constructions.

PETROLEUM

PEI connectors are used to absorb vibration as well as accommodate misalignment or seismic movement in underground piping systems beneath service stations. Underground connectors are specially designed to provide the most flexibility in a limited space while ensuring safety when handling volatile liquids.

PAPER MILLS

Paper Mills use a lot of steam not to mention various chemicals in their manufacturing process. Therefore, a wide variety of metal hose assemblies and expansion joints are used in this industry. By-products of paper mills include highly corrosive materials that require the use of corrosion resistant metals which can withstand high temperatures. Hose assemblies are a perfect fit in this type of environment.

PETROCHEMICAL

The Petrochemical industry has hose requirements equally important to the ones found in refining and the chemical processing markets. Petrochemical plants are primarily involved in the manufacture of plastic resins from a petroleum base. Therefore, hose applications include chemical transfer, steam lines, dry bulk material handling, and dock hoses.
