Remember Remember the 5th November

fireworks

Its that time of the year were the winter woolies have been dug out of the wardrobe, sparklers have been bought and the parkin is in the oven cooking.

With the gloves and scarf on, it is exciting to see the colourful fireworks light up the night sky with the big bangers, beautiful fountains and screaming rockets.

Here at Masterflex, we have been creating a few sparks of our own from the machines that produce the hoses and ductings, specifically designed 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.

 If you would like a quote on any item we produce whether it’s for Woodworking, Construction, Air Conditioning and Ventilation, Automotive or Asbestos removal.

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

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

  • 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
