The simplest way to select a hose.

Application guide

Plastic Resin and Granule Transfer

Good

flexFLO™ lite U 100

Medium-duty polyurethane dry material handling hose

flexFLO™ lite U 100 uses a polyurethane-lined PVC tube for dry-material abrasion resistance and a clear wall for flow inspection. It does not supply a hose-grounding wire.

Better

flexVAC™ U 140 ST

Polyurethane dry material handling hose

flexVAC™ U 140 ST is the grounded polyurethane dry-material option for 4- and 6-inch systems. It supports visual flow inspection, but its published vacuum limits are 21 inHg at 4 inches and 17 inHg at 6 inches. The ST140U recommendation applies within its lower size-specific vacuum limits. Use the eligible boom option when the recovery duty exceeds those limits.

Best

flexVAC™ U Boom ST

Heavy-duty abrasion resistant wet and dry material handling hose

flexVAC™ U Boom ST is the heavy polyurethane-lined boom hose for demanding wet and dry abrasive recovery. Its static-dissipating construction and copper grounding wire support the defined severe-duty role. It is not food grade.

Alternatives

flexFOOD™ lite 200 ST

Medium-duty food grade suction and discharge hose

Use for: Food-contact dry transfer at lower pressure.

flexFOOD™ lite 200 ST combines clear food-contact PVC construction with a copper grounding wire for qualified dry-material conveying. Use it within its published pressure rating when synthetic reinforcement is not required.

flexFORCE™ U Food Grade

Reinforced urethane food hose

Use for: Food-contact reinforced pressure transfer.

flexFORCE™ U Food Grade combines a food-contact polyurethane liner, synthetic reinforcement, static-dissipating construction and a copper grounding wire. It is the reinforced option for qualified abrasive-material and pressure service.

Notes: The primary progression covers nonfood abrasive resin and granule recovery. Qualified clean-material pressure transfer is a separate duty.
