Blast hoses play a vital role in any blast system. They convey the abrasive media from the blast gun to the surface being blasted. Proper hose selection will improve production, lower maintenance costs and protect your blasters from electric shock. Heavy duty abrasion resistant sand and shot blast hose that will accept higher working pressures […]
It is important to know the specifications and characteristics of fiber-braided hoses in order to choose the right hose for your needs. In addition to abrasion resistance and corrosion protection, hoses must also withstand varying temperature ranges and working pressure. Hoses that use a textile or steel wire braid are more flexible than spiral hoses. […]
Sandblast hoses transfer blast media from the nozzle to the hose. These hoses can cause safety and performance issues. The type of abrasive is an important consideration. Mineral abrasives such as silica produce dust that can lead to silicosis, a debilitating lung disease. Other mineral abrasives, such as garnet, produce less dust. Wear-resistant blasting hose: […]
Fittings are used to connect tubing and hoses in car wash equipment. Tubing is used to transport liquids or gases under pressure, while hoses are used to carry water and cleaning agents. Check hose clamps on a regular basis. A missing or loose one can lead to leaking. Operators should also track hose replacements using […]
When you think of a car wash, you probably picture soapy water and high-powered hoses. However, few people think about the recycled water systems that help to clean cars and conserve resources. A good hose will resist kinking, and should have a locking system. It should also have metal couplings for durability. The number of […]
