Overview

Constant Flow heated hose is the cost effective solution to maintain media flow and process control. Performance optimization is designed into each specific customer application. Applications include conditions that require the heated hose to be flexed during installation and perhaps routed thru a maze of obstructions, but then may rest motionless during operation of the equipment.

Constant Flow heated hose is also designed to allow continuous flexing once attached with fittings into the customer’s equipment. The product is light weight, easy to install and service, and is designed to survive challenges of durability.

Options

The Heatflex Constant Flow heated hose is designed to allow repeated motion of the hose during product operation. The liner is a high temperature Teflon and becomes softer and more flexible as the media temperature increases with good chemical resistance. The inherent flexibility of the tubing along with a loose fitting outer insulation sleeve allows excellent product flexibility.

Various sensors can be incorporated into the heater
Standard fittings can be added to hose ends.
Variety of insulation materials are available if required
