These hoses are designed to be wear-resistant and can be used for material handling in the industrial sector. For instance, hoses can reduce storage and production costs, and can incorporate abrasion-resistant cover elements. Material handling hoses can also come in light weight, which allows them to be used in areas where flexibility is crucial.

The materials handled by material handling hoses include dry cement, concrete, sand, plaster, and food. They are designed to resist abrasion and are usually made with thick rubber inner tubing to minimize abrasion. The hose is also designed to dissipate static electricity.

These hoses are usually hand-built to meet specific requirements. They range in size from 2″ to 40″ ID, and can feature different nipples. The nipples can be rubber lined, built in, or vic grooved. To make it easier to handle and prevent breakage, the hose can be made with a variety different ends.

You can make the cover element from any material you like, but it should be abrasion-resistant and have a low coefficient for friction. The cover element may be made of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene. This type of cover element also provides additional surface area for the hose.

Material handling hoses of the present invention include an abrasion-resistant cover element, a low coefficient of friction inner liner, and an abrasion-resistant reinforcement layer. The abrasion-resistant cover element can include one or more apertures to allow for material ventilation.
