Manufacturing of Hoses

Hose manufacturing encompasses a wide variety of diverse mixtures, depending on the requirements and intended use of the tube being produced.

The hose industry manufactures a multitude of hoses for various applications: industrial and agricultural uses, as conduits in vehicles, medical applications, construction applications, and even household applications.

The primary process in hose production is typically extrusion. In this process, the selected material is pushed through an extrusion die in a plastic form, creating a continuous hose in the desired shape and size. When extruding hoses or hose cores, release agents and lubricants are commonly used:

  • A lubricating coating on the mandrel (inner form)
  • A release agent on the outer surface of the hose core
  • A release agent on the outer surface of the hose or hose covering

If needed, shaping, reinforcement, and, in the case of rubber hoses or hose cores, vulcanization curing follow. Even in these steps, lubricating coatings often simplify the process.

The requirements for all process steps are always very similar: achieving good process capability with optimized processing characteristics - without compromising the quality of the hoses.

Mandrel release agent

The mandrel is used to shape the interior of the extruded material and create the desired inner contour of the hose. Lubricating coatings on the mandrel can be employed to ensure a smooth extrusion process and facilitate the separation of the hose or hose core from the mandrel.

Extrusion hose core, outside

The term "hose core" refers to the inner part of a hose. In hose production, the core is the main component of the hose responsible for transporting the medium, whether it be liquids, gases, or solids. The core determines the fundamental properties of the hose, such as its flexibility, resistance to chemical substances, and flow resistance.

The term "hose core" is often used to describe the central part of a hose that is surrounded by the outer covering or sheath. This outer layer often serves to protect the core and provide additional features such as abrasion resistance or UV resistance.

In summary, the hose core is the inner part of a hose responsible for the transportation of materials and determining its basic functional characteristics.

Extrusion of hose, outer layer

The specific type of lubricant or release agent used can depend on the material being extruded, the extrusion equipment, and the desired properties of the final hose covering. It's essential to choose a lubricant that is compatible with the materials involved and meets the performance requirements of the extrusion process.

Highly effective antiadhesive for the treatment of extruded profiles and tubes providing a reliable separating effect before and during vulcanisation.

The product offers numerous advantages:

  • film is visible after application and drying
  • easy to check film formation on the rubber surface
  • very good release properties on most of the compounds
  • after curing, the product is fully absorbed by the compound
