Application guide
Lightweight abrasion resistant blower and suction hose
flexVAC™ lite 180 AR is the lighter abrasion-resistant SBR option for suction and light blowing of fibrous or lightweight abrasive material. Its static-dissipating rubber does not include a grounding wire.
Medium-duty wet & dry material remote hose with grounding wire
flexVAC™ lite U Boom ST provides a polyurethane liner, static-dissipating construction and a copper grounding wire for abrasive recovery. It is the lighter boom-hose option and is not food grade.
Heavy-duty abrasion resistant suction and discharge hose
flexVAC™ 180 AR is the heavy-duty abrasion-resistant SBR material-handling option. It provides strong suction capability in a broad size range, but it does not contain a hose-grounding wire.
Notes: This progression covers compatible abrasive-material recovery and transfer. Match the product to particle shape, vacuum, pressure and grounding requirements.
Warning: Particle hardness, size, shape, velocity, solids concentration, temperature and bends can materially change hose life. Identify sharp debris and contaminants, confirm pressure and vacuum limits, and correctly terminate, bond, ground and test a wire-equipped assembly wherever required.
