Engineered for Severe Duty Performance

Advanced design features that deliver exceptional durability and performance in the most demanding plastics handling applications.

Severe Abrasion Resistance

Double ply polyurethane tube construction provides exceptionally strong abrasion resistance, ensuring longer service life when handling plastic pellets, granules and powders in demanding industrial applications.

Visual Flow Monitoring

Clear outer jacket allows operators to visually monitor material flow in real-time, enabling quick identification of blockages or flow issues to minimize downtime and maintain production efficiency.

Low Temperature Flexibility

Rigid PVC helix provides excellent flexibility even at extremely low temperatures down to -40Β°F, maintaining performance in cold environments where other hoses might crack or become brittle.

Static Electricity Control

Multi-strand wire embedded in the helix provides effective static dissipation when properly grounded, reducing the risk of static electricity buildup during material transfer in sensitive applications.

Food Grade Safety

Food grade construction meets safety standards for applications involving food contact materials, providing peace of mind in food processing and packaging industries with strict hygiene requirements.

Versatile Applications

Suitable for both suction and high pressure discharge applications across injection molding, blow molding and extrusion sectors, offering flexibility for various industrial material handling needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes this hose suitable for severe duty applications?
The double ply polyurethane tube construction provides exceptional abrasion resistance, while the yarn jacket reinforcement increases tensile strength. The rigid PVC helix maintains flexibility even in extreme cold, making it ideal for handling abrasive plastic materials in demanding industrial environments.
How does the static dissipation feature work?
Multi-strand wire is embedded within the helix structure. When properly grounded, this wire provides a path for static electricity to dissipate safely, preventing dangerous static buildup that can occur when transferring plastic pellets, granules, and powders.
Can this hose be used for both suction and pressure applications?
Yes, the Tigerflex 2020 Series is designed for both suction and high pressure discharge applications. Its reinforced construction can handle the demands of both vacuum conveying and positive pressure material transfer systems.
What temperature range can this hose handle?
The hose operates effectively in a temperature range from -40Β°F to 150Β°F (-40Β°C to 65Β°C). The rigid PVC helix maintains excellent flexibility even at the extreme low end of this range, unlike rubber alternatives that may crack in cold conditions.
Is this hose safe for food-related applications?
Yes, the Tigerflex 2020 Series is constructed with food grade materials, making it suitable for applications involving food contact. This certification ensures compliance with safety standards in food processing and packaging industries.
