R.I.P David Bowie

On the 10th January 2016, David Bowie sadly passed away after his battle with cancer. Bowie was a figure in popular music for decades and entetained thousands. He was a great English singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, record producer, arranger, painter, and actor that will be missed by all.

David Bowie’s first hit song, “Space Oddity”, reached the top five of the UK Singles Chart after its release in July 1969. After a three-year period away from music, he came back with the hit single “Starman” and the album The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars. Bowie’s impact at that time, as described by biographer David Buckley, “challenged the core belief of the rock music of its day” and “created perhaps the biggest cult in popular culture”.

Graduating from his plastic saxophone to a real instrument in 1962, Bowie formed his first band at the age of 15. Playing guitar-based rock and roll at local youth gatherings and weddings, the Konrads had a varying line-up of between four and eight members, Underwood among them. When Bowie left the technical school the following year, he informed his parents of his intention to become a pop star. His mother, Margaret Mary “Peggy”, from Kent, worked as a waitress, while his father, Haywood Stenton “John” Jones, from Yorkshire, was a promotions officer for Barnardo’s.

Before his death, David Bowie released his last album on Friday 8th January and has been set to top the charts.

R.I.P David Bowie!

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.

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.
