If you use exhaust gas removal hose… are you aware of the range available at Masterflex UK?

Exhaust extraction

Masterflex is a Manufacturer and Supplier of vehicle exhaust extraction for cars, buses, trucks fire engines, and emergency vehicles

Within a closed area, although vehicles are run only a short length of time, while the vehicle is being tested or worked upon, carbon monoxide (exhaust fumes) can build. The carbon monoxide is odourless and it is easy for the fumes to build in pockets around the room. If these exhaust emissions are not extracted safely and controlled, they can cause those working upon the vehicle to become ill. They can also damage to the sensitive electronics of diagnostic and servicing equipment in the workshop.

To ensure the safety of mechanics and those working in this field, Exhaust extraction at source is needed.

The most effective method of removing of vehicle exhaust fumes is capture them at source…

Masterflex manufactures and supplies a range of hoses to capture these vehicle exhaust gases, providing a safer working environment.

Carflex 200 is one example from the Masterflex Exhaust Gas Extraction Range

Carflex 200: with neoprene-coated polyester fabric clamp profile spiral, hot dip galvanised steel band, and additional outer scuff protection profile is highly flexible. Allowing it to be used in even the most confined spaces to suit your working environment. Vibration proof, with good flow characteristics, it is super lightweight and extremely compressible to approx 1:5

It benefits from high tension-proof construction of the wall lining and spiral via a special clamp mechanism.

Adhering to TRBS 2153 (Zone 1,21) for non-flammable dusts and gases with low conductivity for dissipation of electrostatic charges with double ended grounding of clips and radiant of <30 mm. Boasting a temperature range of +200ºC with exhaust regulators and sufficient air supply.

Dangers of Woodworking; Are You Aware?

Most people show awareness of the dangers of working with power tools and machinery, but did you know that possibly the biggest threat to those working with wood, comes not from the serious health and safety risks of power tools, but from wood dust.

The long term damage can often be caused by tiny even microscopic wood dust particles entering the lungs as you work. These particles, often called “coarse inhalable particles can range from 2-10 microns, are fine enough not to be seen by the naked eye, but they enter your lungs as you breath in the air filled with sawdust, and are small enough to enter the lungs and cause long term damage.

Are you doing everything you can to protect yourself or your workers from this very real danger?

Read more…

How Does Dust Affect The Woodworker?

Long-Term Damage: Rather than the large chips and visible sawdust: perhaps the most damaging element is the invisible fine dust – the microscopic coarse inhalable particles. These tiny bits of sawdust float around the air and linger even after the tools have stopped running. It is when these invisible particles get inhaled into the airways that they cause tiny wounds and scarring to our lungs: each time this happens it causes a very small amount of irreversible damage. Although the immediate effects would probably not be noticed, over long periods of time, this can result in significantly decreased lung capacity, and a number of other health issues.

Irritants: This is the most common way that wood dust affects a woodworker. This simply means that it can irritate our lungs, our skin, our eyes. As the body reacts to the irritant this can result in itching, sneezing, coughing, runny nose, rashes, and asthma-like breathing problems.

Sensitizers: With regular exposure to wood dust, things can develop beyond being simply irritating to the body. Some woods can make us more and more sensitive upon each successive exposure. Even if you don’t experience any sort of allergic reaction to the wood or its dust when you first come into contact with it, each time you breathe the dust, or handle the wood, with repeated exposure this can sometimes result in an eventual reaction that can be quite strong; in rashes or boils, severe sinus or respiratory pain/inflammation, or a number of other conditions depending on the wood species.

Toxins: Although this is not as common, some wood is considered to be directly toxic. Yew, is one such example of this, is capable of causing fatality in certain cases.

Carcinogens: Toxicity charts are available for wood species. That is because some wood species are known to to have been shown to cause Nasopharyngeal carcinoma or cancer.

Read on with the next blog referencing The Wood toxicity and Allergen chart from http://www.wood-database.com

With all of the above health reasons,Masterflex Technical Hoses Ltd have produced a range of hoses to be used specifically for those working within the wood manufacturing industry; Flamex BF hose(for wood dust and fine particles) , and Flamex B(for coarser wood dust and chippings).

These reliable and high quality hoses will enable you to work without concern for the hazards described above, extracting the wood dust at source, as it is created…before it enters your lungs!

The flexible hose with a smooth inner core – A World First!

Master-PUR Performance hose is a World First! A flexible hose with a smooth inner core that eliminates the build up of materials passing through in use as they collide with internal ridges. With Master-PUR Performance hose there are no internal ridges…friction and the build up of related heat is prevented

This allows the materials to pass through the flexible hose, with the internal helix remaining cool. Abrasion is reduced and the durability of the hose is therefore improved.

Press Release

Masterflex announce market launch: Totally smooth & highly flexible – perfect for even the most extreme conditions

A world first for spiral hoses from technological leaders Masterflex.

Masterflex is proud to announce the launch of a world first in the field of spiral hoses: the brand newMaster-PUR Performance

Created to meet all of our customer’s many requirements in one product, the unique

Master- PUR Performance offers totally smooth surface for improved transport flow, greater durability and reliability while maintaining excellent flexibility, especially in comparison to other heavy-duty PU hoses. A result of extensive research and innovative development in the construction design, materials and manufacturing processes applied, the Master-PUR Performance is the only spiral hose in the world to combine all of these – otherwise contradictory – features in one. Even with its highly robust design, it can easily be installed in the tightest of spaces, making it the perfect all-rounder

Master-PUR Performance, delivers the combination of truly reliable robustness for greater abrasion resistance, a high level of flexibility, as well as a seamlessly smooth inner surface was simply not technically possible in the field of spiral hose manufacturing. Thanks to the many years of experience in high-tech plastics, particularly in the processing of special 3D cross-linked cast elastomers, and the successful completion of exhaustive load and endurance tests.

These clear advantages of the Master-PUR Performance are especially evident when transporting industrial goods. Heavily abrasive bulk solids and dusts, such as plastic granules (with a high GRP ratio), quartz, stones, glass or ceramic fragments, place enormous demands on hose durability, meaning that maintenance intervals are usually frequent. That’s why users choose to rely on heavier, inflexible rubber hoses or steel pipes for transporting this type of media. The new Master-PUR Performance from Masterflex, however, offers a ground breaking alternative packed with direct benefits for the user:

– Thanks to its totally smooth inner surface, the all-new Master-PUR Performance provides unbeatable flow conditions with virtually no flow-loss whatsoever resulting in the reduction of energy consumption, thus cutting costs.

– The optimised construction design of the hose profile provides the hose with greater flexibility. This allows the Master-PUR Performance to be easily used and installed in even the smallest of spaces.

– Due to the nature of the special materials used, the Master-PUR Performance boasts 100 % greater abrasion-resistance than any other conventional hose made from thermo-plastic polyurethane. The hose’s replacement intervals increase as a result, reducing maintenance costs significantly.

– In comparison to the usual standard spiral hoses, it features improved pressure and vacuum resistance. Combined with its microbe-resistance and antistatic qualities, the Master-PUR Performance is perfect for almost any application. It fulfils all requirements of the standards TRBS 2153 and Directive 94/9/EG (ATEX 95) for the avoidance of ignition hazards resulting from electrostatic charges.

The highly flexible Master-PUR Performance from Masterflex provides unparalleled performance and extraordinary advantages, which traditional hoses simply can’t offer. The new hose is available in sizes from DN 38 to DN 152.

About Masterflex Group The Masterflex Group is a renowned specialist for the development and production of high-tech hoses and connection systems. With 13 operative units in Europe, the Americas and Asia, the Group is present worldwide. Driving factors behind our steady growth are our globalisation and our innovation.
