HIGH & LOW PRESSURE MATERIAL CONVEYING

THE MANULI ADVANTAGE

Over the years the Manuli Hydraulics portfolio of hydraulic hoses has grown from a few products into a huge range with thousands of individual references. The institutional knowledge and experience gained during the development of a product range this large and diverse has given us an insight into the requirements of many other non-hydraulic applications which use reinforced rubber hose products. In the past we have made several tentative forays into some of these non-hydraulic applications, each time proving that our expertise in high pressure hydraulic hose design is not only transferrable, but also allows us a unique perspective of the requirements of these applications which is often missing from the more established hose manufacturers.

In the present, Manuli is no longer thought of as a newcomer in many non-hydraulic hose applications; we have however retained our curiosity and willingness to buck the established norms, and as a result our non-hydraulic products are now widely recognised as some of the highest performing and most reliable on the market.

INDUSTRIAL HOSE SOLUTIONS

The Manuli Industrial Unit supplies hose solutions to a wide range of industry sectors for a broad range of specific applications. Our product range covers most of the commonly requested industrial hose types, as well as a few of the more esoteric and specialised hose types.

ANTI-STATIC FUEL HOSES

The conveying of fuel is fraught with potential dangers, not least of which is the potential for ignition of the fuel due to the build-up of static electricity. This build-up of static is caused by the action of the fuel moving against a non-conductive surface, such as the inside of a pipe or hose, causing it to lose electrons and become positively charged. When the fuel flow reaches a point where grounding is possible it can discharge itself against this point. If this occurs at a point where there is sufficient oxygen present, such as at the mouth of the hose, then it can cause ignition – with unsurprisingly disastrous results!

All Manuli fuel conveying hoses are designed to ensure that this does not happen, by their use of conductive tube polymers and strategically located grounding wires along the full length of the hose. So whether it’s for cars, trucks, tankers, aircraft or anything in-between, Manuli Industrial have an anti-static fuel hose to suit your needs.

FOOD & BEVERAGE HOSES

Ease of sterilisation, taste- and odour-free inner-tube materials and the need for zero physical contamination characterise the key requirements for food conveying hoses. Whether it’s the transfer of alcoholic beverages, fatty liquids or dry foodstuffs, such as rice, sugar, seeds etc., the standards applicable to food grade hoses are some of the most stringent and strictly enforced across all industries. In an industry where a single mistake can have far reaching consequences, the safety characteristics, reliability and overall quality of the hoses used cannot be left to chance.

Manuli Industrial offers a selection of food grade hoses which are all certified to the relevant FDA and European standards required for their respective payloads. In addition, every single Manuli food grade hose is guaranteed ADI-free – meaning that they cannot transmit Prion diseases such as Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE)  and Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathy (TSE) – and phthalate-free.
