Hybrid Hoses
Patented Manufacturing Process - Robust design and materials minimize in-service problems and
maximize service life.
Elastomeric Tube - Provides a clean tube excellent for fluid/chemicaL compatibiLity and minimizes the need
for expensive cLeaning of hose assemblies.
Wire Braided Reinforcement - Wire braids increase pressure ratings, create light bend radii - excellent cut
through resistance.
Synthetic Rubber Cover - Hybrid hoses have a smooth cover that looks like traditional hydraulic hose.
Additionally, these hoses complement the look of OEM equipment.
Smaller 0D - Compact designs allow tighter bend radius characteristics and work well in small
enveloped areas.
Long Lengths - Long Length hybrid hoses reduce the number of short unusabLe hose lengths and thereby
save money in the Long run.
2-Braid Construction - The 2-braid hybrid hose construction takes the place of traditional 4-spiral wire hose
and offers a slimmer profile, Lighter weight, and Longer Lengths.
Widely Accepted - Proven performance over many years.
Thermoplastic Hoses
Specialty Hose Capability - Parflex offers many unique specialty hoses such as electrically non-conductive,
breathing air, and CNG hoses to name just a few. Let us custom design and build a solution for you.
Superior Abrasion Resistance - Urethane and nylon style covers provide the industry's highest Level of abrasion
resistance today. They can outlast standard rubber hoses in Lab tests by 10:1.
Long Continuous Lengths - Long Length hoses reduce the number of short unusable hose Lengths and thereby
save money in the long run.
Clean Core Tubes - Unlike rubber core tubes, thermoplastic core tubes are clean when cut and greatly
reduce the chance of contamination in today's state-of-the-art hydraulic systems.
Wide Chemical Range - Thermoplastic hoses offer a superior range of chemical resistance. Tough outer covers
aLso resist degradation by UV rays, water and harsh wash down chemicals.
Lightweight by Design - Lightweight designed equipment is routinely being requested by leading manufacturers
today. Thermoplastic hoses are considerably lighter than rubber hoses.
Smaller 0D - Compact designs allow tighter bend radius characteristics and work well in small enveloped
areas.
Easy Routing - Smooth outer covers oller ease in routing multipLe hoses in tight or confined areas such as
booms, lifts, and tracks.
Lower Volumetric Expansion - This means Less energy loss and faster reaction time in hydraulic circuits.
UV Resistant - Parflex thermoplastic hose jackets are UV stabiLized for optimal weather resistance.
Long Shelf Life - Thermoplastic hoses do not continuously cure, and won't degrade when stored under proper
conditions.
Easy To Cut - Fabric reinforced hoses do not require high power saws to be cut. Simple hand or blade
cutters can be used.
Crimpable, Swageable, Field Attachable - Some Parflex thermoplastic hoses can be assembled utilizing
any of these three methods of fitting attachment for added convenience.
Bonded Components - Some Parflex thermoplastic hoses can be bonded together from 2 to 10 hoses, in
multiple sizes and products. SimiLar cover materials must always be used in the
bonding process.
Coiled/Retractable Capability - Many Parflex thermoplastic hoses can be coiled for retractable capability for
easy, compact storage.
Bundling - Parflex offers the ability to bundle hose and tubing in a variety of combinations.
Custom Printed Lines - Custom printed Lines build brand identity and differentiate products for end users.
Simple inkjelting provides a cost effective way to provide crisp clean text, or in some
cases, logos.
Colors - Parflex thermoplastic hoses can be manufactured in almost any conceivable color. Colors can offer
brand identity. |
