Celebrating 10 years at Masterflex

Phil

Masterflex has been up and running for over 18 years in the UK, and this week we are celebrating as one of our members has reached the 10 year milestone.

Philip Edwards joined Masterflex in 2004 and one of his first jobs was to run the foil machine that creates the Flamex BF hoses.

Over the years he has developed an understanding of how all three machines are set up, using different tools and materials in order to manufacture hoses, ductings and clips.

Philip has created hoses of various sizes, materials and diameters, ranging from 38mm to 900mm and has always taken great pride in the products he has produced.

He has created many hoses to suit a wide variety of industries such as Woodworking, Construction, Air Conditioning and Ventilation, Automotive and the Environment.

On a weekly basis, he maintains the stock levels, produces any new orders that come in, then packs the hoses ready for collection.

Thank you for the hard work Philip.

Unusual uses for Masterflex Hoses

clear snake

How creative have you been with Masterflex hoses?

One student visited Masterflex for her college course as she wanted to travel to West Africa with a light weight, durable hose.

She managed to turn Flamex BF into a snake that moved freely, mimicking the movements of a real snake.

The overall aim was to carry out research on the relationship between monkeys and snakes in their natural environment.

Another student transformed a small length of Master PUR L into a robotic fish.

Ploughing through…

Ploughing pic

 Here at Masterflex, we are ploughing through the Agricultural sector, separating the seeders from the slurry’s, tillage from tractors and balers from harvesters.

So far we have had some great feedback but still need your help.

Do you know someone who works within this industry?

Does your friend buy or sell agricultural machinery?

Is your uncle the boss of a company supplying agricultural parts?

Masterflex are particularly interested in the type of hoses that are currently being used and what the main sizes are, especially on the seeding machines.

If you know where the parts are being manufactured that would be greatly appreciated, whether it is in the UK or abroad.

Please share or re-tweet as we still need lots more information to complete our market survey.

If you can help please contact Hayley via hayley@masterflex-uk.com

Can you handle the heat….

hot-weather

Here at Masterflex, we are currently enjoying the warm weather that has hit the UK over the last few days.

With every window open and an ice lolly to keep us refreshed, we are able to keep producing Flexible Hose and Ducting for a wide range of industrial applications including extraction of dust and fumes and the conveyance of abrasive media.

Everything we manufacture is mainly used for Woodworking, Plastics, Chemical/Pharmaceutical, Food, Automotive, Military and General Engineering.

Did you know that some hoses are manufactured to withstand high temperatures up to 1100°C?

At the higher end of the temperature range, we create Master Clip 1100, which is used for exhaust fume extraction on large capacity engines, and automotive and aircraft manufacturing.

Medium to high temperature hoses such as Master Sil can be used for gases, plastic industry and waste incinerators. Temperatures can accommodate anything up to 250°C

At the lower end of the scale we make Master Clip Vinyl B which has been designed for air conditioning and ventilation extraction systems.
