In industrial work, not all hoses are created equal. From moving materials to controlling static buildup, finding the right hose for your job can make a world of difference. That’s why we’ve added Flexaust hoses to our product line – they offer a new level of flexibility and performance for those requiring air, dust, fume and material handling.
For over 85 years, Flexaust has manufactured durable, long-lasting hoses and ducting solutions for a wide range of industrial and commercial applications. Their products are specifically designed to handle air, dust, fume, and material transport with precision.
Flexaust offers the largest selection of hose and ducting products, including wire-reinforced coated fabric hose, wire-reinforced plastic hose (available in regular or stretch construction), hand-bendable metal ducting, all-plastic wet or dry vacuum hoses, and blow-molded corrugated tubing.
Hoses Designed for Specific Needs
Every operation faces its own set of challenges, and Flexaust offers a range of hoses tailored to meet these specific requirements. They manufacture their hoses from a variety of materials, such as thermoplastic rubber, polyurethane, PVC, neoprene, polyester, vinyl fabric and polyethylene to provide solutions across a wide range of industries.
Two of their most popular products include:
Flex-Tube PU
The Flex-Tube PU hose is an excellent choice when flexibility is a priority. Its lightweight design and extreme flexibility make it ideal for vacuum applications and air handling – particularly in robotic lifting where movement and adaptability are critical.
Unlike other hoses, which incorporate wire into the hose design, Flex-Tube PU offers a more flexible alternative without the added complexity of internal wiring, though grounding wire and static dissipative options are available.
Flex-Stat CR
For applications requiring static control, such as food production and clean rooms, the Flex-Stat CR is a strong contender. This hose features static dissipative properties along with a grounding wire, making it ideal for handling plastic pellets in cleanroom environments.
Comparable to NORRES Inox, Flex-Stat CR hoses offer a reliable alternative that can handle plastic industry demands.
Unique Construction for Durability & Control
Flexaust hoses are built to last. While traditional vacuum hoses frequently rely on metal wire for support — which can wear out when dragged across the floor or ground — Flexaust’s plastic helix design prevents collapse under vacuum pressure and helps extend hose life in demanding environments like grain bins or material handling.
Flexaust also excels in providing grounding solutions. Hoses with grounding wires offer additional safety, especially in environments where static buildup is a concern. These grounding features, combined with the flexibility and durability of Flexaust hoses, offer an advantage over similar products, particularly in static-sensitive applications.
