Aflex Unveils Revolutionary New Hose Design for the Chemical and Process
Industry
SOWERBY BRIDGE, England, November 2 /PRNewswire/ -- Aflex Hose Ltd has
today unveiled Corroline, a revolutionary flexible hose developed to stand up
to the toughest chemical and process applications.
Designed specifically for use within chemical and process industries,
Corroline is built around a patented PTFE hose liner that is smooth bore
inside but convoluted outside to generate excellent flexibility.
The reinforced PTFE construction is strong enough to withstand full
vacuum and kinking without the need for either internal convolutions or the
need to bond the liner to an outer cover.
Engineers have often complained that hoses used are inflexible and too
heavy to operate efficiently. Corroline combines the flexibility of a
convoluted hose with the chemical and temperature resistance of a PTFE liner.
Chemical processes will be vastly improved according to the manufacturer
who states only FDA approved material is present in the hose construction.
Excellent flexibility paired with the chemical resistance of PTFE gives
Corroline the edge over its competitors.
Aflex Hose believe "it not only supersedes but improves upon the wide
variety of alternative hose products currently available" and has conducted
tests against competitors products to support its statement.
In conjunction with the release of Corroline, Aflex Hose Ltd has
introduced Puretag, the Worlds first fully integrated sanitary hose labelling
system. Available in Silicone or EPDM, Puretag's streamline design offers a
glue free label encapsulated flush with the external surface of the hose.
"Our technologies are driven by teams of highly-dedicated engineers and
technologists who demand the best," said Tony Logan, Aflex Commercial General
Manager. "We have a reputation for being able to design flexible hose
solutions that are beyond the expectations of our customers,"
Aflex Hose Ltd, a UK based company, was established more than 30 years
ago and pioneered the concept of PTFE lined flexible hoses for the transfer
of process fluids in pharmaceutical and chemical plants. Since then, the
company has been committed to a program of continuous development and
improvement, resulting in the most technically competent and sophisticated
hose range available today.
Aflex's reputation for innovative design and build quality is second to
none, and has earned the company market leadership of the PTFE lined flexible
hose market for Process Fluid Applications worldwide.
