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

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

.PUR Performance Hose

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.

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.
