Hydraulic / Thermoplastic hoses
Hydraulic drives make possible lot functions of mobile, heavy-duty machinery which are hydraulically powered. The pressurized oil generated by the hydraulic pump flows through our hydraulic hose lines to the respective hydraulic motors and hydraulic cylinders. The hydraulic hose lines transmit the tremendous forces with absolute reliability. To guarantee just that, we put all its expertise into attaining the highest possible degree of hose safety.
But it is not only the hydraulic lines that have to comply with steadily increasing demands; the connections between the lines and the central hydraulics have to do so as well. The hydraulic hose lines and couplings must not only withstand high pressure; they must also bear up under extreme mechanical loads and aggressive hydraulic oil. Absolutely nothing must be allowed to go wrong at the highly critical point where the hose makes contact with the fittings and should be virtually insusceptible to faults. This is why we follow strict regulations for these rubber-to-metal-bonded hydraulic hose components.
The individual design of the hydraulic systems is fully covered by the different hydraulic hoses we can offer. Some of the hydraulic application hoses types include: Hydraulic hoses, even for hydrostatic travel drive, Twin hoses for hydraulic lift mast control, Hydraulic hose lines for ultra-high pressures up to 420 bar (4SH DN 20-32). We offer also Hydraulic hose lines for power steering lines of agricultural machines, construction and lot of other heavy machinery types.

What are the key advantages of using thermoplastic hoses over traditional hydraulic hoses?
Thermoplastic hoses offer several advantages compared to traditional rubber hoses, including higher flexibility, lighter weight, and enhanced resistance to various chemicals and environmental factors. They can operate at higher pressures, such as those found in CNG applications up to 350 bar and H2 applications up to 700 bar. Additionally, thermoplastic hoses have a lower coefficient of friction, which can lead to better flow rates and energy efficiency.
How do hydraulic hoses ensure safety and reliability in high-pressure applications?
Hydraulic hoses are designed to withstand extreme pressures and deliver hydraulic fluid reliably. The construction of these hoses includes multiple layers of reinforcement, such as steel wire braids or spirals, which provide strength and durability. To further enhance safety, hoses are rigorously tested to meet industry standards. For instance, thermoplastic hoses for high-pressure greasing applications are engineered to handle pressures of up to 400 bar, ensuring they can operate safely under demanding conditions.
What should be considered when selecting a thermoplastic hose for specific applications?
When selecting a thermoplastic hose, it's crucial to consider factors such as the operating pressure, temperature range, and compatibility with the fluids being conveyed. For example, if you're looking for a hose for CO2 fire extinguishing applications, the thermoplastic hose designed for CO2 can withstand pressures up to 300 bar and is specifically formulated to handle the unique demands of such applications. Additionally, the hose's bend radius and flexibility should be evaluated based on the installation environment.
