A typical day at Masterflex…

So what is a ‘typical’ day at Masterflex I hear you ask?

Daily orders come in via email, phone call or fax and it is down to 2 lads in the office and 4 men on the shop floor to complete the transactions.

Some days can be quite hectic in the office dealing with quotes, orders and deliveries, but we make sure everything is to the correct specification and dispatched on time.

As a manufacturer we deal with end users, suppliers and distributors, around the UK and further afield. Today, our products are in use throughout various industries, such as Automotive, Construction, Food, Pharmaceutical, Woodworking and Air Conditioning.

Masterflex Technical Hoses Limited can also design and manufacture a hose or ducting to a customers’ specific needs.

Ploughing through…

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….

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

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:

Polyurethane hoses and PVC hoses on various types of seeders.
PVC Ductings and TPE Ductings on grain dryers.
Heavy Duty PVC hose on slurry tanks and many more.

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.

Masterflex specialise in flexible hoses for the Woodworking, Automotive, Heating and Ventilation industry

We are currently trying to establish whether any opportunities exist within the agricultural sector for our product types.

The agricultural industry gives many opportunities for using high quality hoses and fittings with traditional and new products:

We have identified the following applications in which our product range may be used.

seed drilling hoses
pneumatic hoses for machinery components
cooling parts for engines
animal feeding
cooling and ventilation hoses for animal sheds

Within these applications we have identified the following hose product types

spiral hoses: – abrasion resistant Pu-hoses for the transport of seed
pneumatic hoses: – pneumatic function hoses for machinery components
components: – cooling for engines – heating hoses for cabins
spiral & pneumatic hoses: – conveying machinery for animal feed
hoses for air conditioning: – ooling and ventilation hoses for animal sheds

We would like to have a better understanding of this industry, and therefore if there is anyone out there involved in the manufacture or distribution of agricultural machinery incorporating flexible hose or ductings, we would be more than happy to hear from you
