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.

 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

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.

Masterflex visits the Great Yorkshire Show

logo

On Wednesday 9th July, Masterflex-UK sent Hayley, their newest team member, to the Great Yorkshire Show in Harrogate.

Hayley was tasked with the job of finding out what type of flexible hose and ductings are currently used within the agricultural industry. She visited the show with her pen in her hand looking for answers.

The show grounds were huge, showing the best Horses, Cattle and Sheep from all over the country and competitions were being held throughout the day to judge the best home-made cheese and pies.

As the sun shone above, Hayley headed over to the agricultural machinery section for flexible hoses and ductings.

Interacting with various manufacturers, distributors and end users allowed research to be carried out on products already being used within this industry.

It is clear to see that the agricultural industry is certainly using many different types of flexible hoses, including:

Further research is now needed to see whether parts are imported from the UK or abroad so its back to the office for Hayley.

Masterflex continues to meet customers needs by providing a high quality of customer service, quick turn around time and large product range.
