Watson-Marlow AFLEX FaBLINE flexible hose assemblies

AFLEX FaBLINE flexible hose assemblies offer a versatile hose solution that can be used throughout many different production processes. The hoses are said to carry up to twice the flow of similarly sized convoluted delivery hoses meaning that they can provide a faster, more efficient processing option.

The product’s low-friction, smooth bore construction means that it can dispense viscous fluids to precise levels, whereas rubber hoses may become blocked or even burst when tasked with this same application. The high flow rates offered also mean that the load and unload times will be shorter, reducing the cost of processing.

The assemblies are offered in either EPDM or platinum cured silicone rubber and can have a range of end fittings attached. The hoses’ conductive liners mean that static build-up can be prevented during steam or air-drying processes. The PTFE liner tubes are chemically resistant to CIP, SIP and autoclave conditions to allow for efficient and complete sterilisation.
