Sandblasting hoses
Sandblasting hoses are specialized conduits designed for transporting abrasive material at high pressure in processes of abrasive blasting. They are used in sandblasters and surface cleaning systems for metal, concrete, and wooden surfaces. Thanks to their construction, made of abrasion-resistant rubber reinforced with textile or steel braiding, they ensure long lifespan and resistance to heavy use.
They are employed in shipbuilding, construction, and automotive industries for rust and paint removal, as well as surface preparation for painting. Proper selection of hose diameter and pressure influences the efficiency of the sandblasting process.
Sandblasting hoses - properties
Sandblasting hoses must feature exceptional abrasion resistance, as they transport abrasive material under high pressure. They are made of rubber with enhanced durability, often reinforced with a multilayer textile or steel braid, increasing their resistance to mechanical damage and high working pressure (up to 12 bars).
Their flexibility facilitates maneuvering in challenging working conditions, and the smooth inner surface minimizes flow resistance, affecting the efficiency of sandblasting. The outer layer is resistant to oils, UV radiation, and atmospheric conditions. Sandblasting hoses are used in shipbuilding, automotive, and construction industries, where precise surface cleaning is crucial before further processing.
The use of rubber hoses for sandblasting
Sandblasting hoses are a key element in abrasive jet processing systems, used for transporting abrasive materials under high pressure. They are used in the shipbuilding industry for removing rust and old paint coatings from ship hulls, in the construction sector for cleaning and matting concrete surfaces, and in the automotive industry for renovating car bodies and rims.
They are also used in industrial production lines, where precise surface preparation before painting or coating is required. Thanks to their high wear resistance and elasticity, these hoses ensure efficient work even in challenging conditions. Proper selection of these hoses allows for optimal sandblasting performance, increasing the system's effectiveness and longevity.
Benefits of using hoses for sandblasting
Sandblasting hoses provide reliable transport of abrasive material under high pressure, resulting in efficiency and precision in abrasive jet machining. Thanks to high wear resistance, they significantly extend the lifespan, minimizing the risk of abrasion and cracks even with intense use.
Their flexibility facilitates maneuvering in hard-to-reach areas, increasing operator comfort during work. Reinforced construction, e.g., with a multilayer textile or steel braid, allows for operation at high pressure (up to 12 bars), ensuring stability of abrasive flow.
Thanks to smooth internal surface, flow resistance is minimal, improving efficiency in cleaning surfaces in shipbuilding, automotive, and construction industries. Proper selection of the hose translates to time savings, reduced abrasive consumption, and higher sandblasting quality.
