Basics of suction technology

Extraction technology plays a critical role in a wide range of industries, including woodworking, metalworking, food manufacturing and pharmaceuticals. It enables the removal of dust, chips, fumes and other waste products from the work environment, which both increases workplace safety and improves product quality.

Our suction hoses

At SHP Primaflex we offer a wide range of hoses for suction technology. Our hoses are durable, resistant to mechanical stress and resistant to a wide range of atmospheric and chemical agents. Thanks to our wide range, we can offer hoses for a variety of applications and in a range of sizes and materials.

Selection criteria for suction hoses

When choosing a suction hose, you should consider the chemical resistance, diameter, length, temperature range and flexibility. The hose should be chemically resistant to the materials to be extracted and capable of operating under the specific temperature conditions. The right hose size and length are critical for efficient suction, while the flexibility of the hose makes it easier to handle and install.

Different materials of suction hoses and their applications

Suction hoses are made of various materials, including polyurethane, PVC, rubber, silicone and metal. Polyurethane hoses are durable, lightweight and offer good abrasion resistance, while PVC hoses are cost-effective and flexible. Rubber and silicone hoses are chemical and temperature resistant, while metal hoses feature high strength and heat resistance. The choice of material depends on the application and operational requirements.

Maintenance and care of suction hoses

Regular inspections for wear, cracks or damage are crucial for the proper functioning of suction hoses. Keep the hose clean by regularly cleaning it inside and out. Be careful not to excessively kink or twist the hose to prevent damage to the structure. When necessary, replace the hose to ensure extraction efficiency and workplace safety.

The evolution of suction technology and its impact on hose designs

Suction technology has evolved over the years to meet the increasing demands of various industries. Hose manufacturers have subsequently improved materials and designs to offer greater flexibility, durability and performance. New materials such as heat- and chemical-resistant plastics allow suction hoses to be used in more demanding environments, while improved manufacturing techniques ensure higher quality and durability.

Frequently asked questions about hoses for suction technology

What are the main differences between a PVC and a PU hose?

PVC (polyvinyl chloride) and PU (polyurethane) are two different types of synthetic polymers often used to make hoses. Here are some important differences between PVC and PU hoses:

Composition: PVC hoses are made of polyvinyl chloride, while PU hoses are made of polyurethane.

Durability: PU hoses are generally more durable and abrasion resistant than PVC hoses.

Chemical Resistance: PVC hoses are generally more resistant to chemicals than PU hoses

Temperature Resistance: Both PVC and PU hoses are resistant to high temperatures, but PU hoses can withstand higher temperatures for longer periods of time.

Cost: PVC hoses are generally less expensive than PU hoses.

What wall thickness do I need?

This depends specifically on your application. In general, the higher the wall thickness, the smoother and more rigid it will be. Abrasive materials usually require a higher wall thickness.

How do I properly care for and maintain my suction hoses?

To prolong the life of your suction hoses, they should be checked regularly for damage such as cracks, holes or wear. If necessary, they should be replaced with new hoses.

What factors should be considered when selecting a suction hose?

There are several factors that should be considered when selecting a suction hose. These include the type of material to be extracted, the required suction power, the operating temperature, the chemical resistance and the flexibility of the hose. In addition, the size and length of the hose should also be considered.

What types of materials can be vacuumed?

Suction hoses are very versatile and can be used to extract a wide range of materials. These include dust, chips, gases, liquids and solids. The specific materials that can be extracted depend on the specific hose model and its characteristics.
