Industrial Ducting:

Navigate the complexities of air, dust, and fume management with our superior range of industrial ducting solutions. Perfect for ventilation systems, dust extraction, woodworking, wood pellet suction, industrial vacuuming and more a great general-purpose ducting would be our product code: EU01Food Quality Polyurethane DuctingEolo PU Food Ether Polyurethane Ducting with Rigid PVC Helix (Light Duty).

Our range includes hoses designed for specific needs, from flame retardant ducting for safety, to antistatic and electrically conductive hoses for special operations, and abrasion-resistant options for tougher environments.

Why choose a Ducting over a Hosepipe or Tube?

1. Ventilation and Air Movement Ducting is specifically engineered for efficient ventilation and air movement. It is ideal for systems that require the distribution of fresh air or the removal of stale, hot, or contaminated air, such as HVAC systems in buildings or vehicles.
2. Temperature Resistance Ducting often has a broader temperature range than standard hosepipes, making it suitable for applications involving hot or cold air transfer.
3. Material Handling Ducting is designed to transport materials such as dust, fumes, and in some cases, solid particles. Its construction allows it to handle abrasive materials without significant wear, which is not typically a feature of regular hosepipes.
4. Flexibility and Durability Certain types of ducting offer more flexibility without sacrificing durability, enabling them to be routed through tight spaces or around obstacles without collapsing or tearing.
5. Chemical and Flame Resistance Ducting can be made from materials that are resistant to chemicals and flames, making them safer and more suitable for industrial environments where exposure to such elements is common.
6. Specialised Applications There is ducting available for specialised applications, such as antistatic ducting for environments where static electricity could pose a hazard, or insulated ducting for maintaining temperature consistency.
7. Cost-Effectiveness for Specific Uses For applications that involve air movement or material transport, ducting can be more cost-effective than hosepipes due to its specialised design and longer lifespan under these conditions.
8. Ease of Installation and Secure Fitting Some ducting options come equipped with metal clips or screw-in connectors, allowing for easy installation and secure attachment to other components. This feature ensures a tight seal and reduces the risk of detachment or air leakage, enhancing the overall efficiency and safety of the system.

In summary, while hosepipes can be versatile for fluid transport, ducting is designed to excel in air and material transfer, offering efficiency, safety, and durability tailored to specific environmental and operational demands.

Tubes and Hosepipes:

Our selection of tubes, multi-tubes and hosepipes spans various applications, including hydraulic systems, pneumatic systems, and fluid transfer, ensuring high performance and reliability.

Why choose a Hosepipe or Tube?

1. Fluid Transport: Hosepipes and tubing are specifically designed for the transport of liquids and gases, making them ideal for applications involving water delivery, chemical transfer, hydraulic systems, and pneumatic controls.
2. Pressure Handling: Hosepipes can handle higher pressures compared to ducting, which is crucial for applications requiring the transfer of fluids under pressure, such as in irrigation systems, high-pressure cleaning, and hydraulic applications.
3. Direct Connection: Hosepipes and tubing can be directly connected to equipment, faucets, pumps, and other devices without the need for additional fittings, facilitating a straightforward setup for water supply, drainage, and fuel transfer.
4. Flexibility and Manoeuvrability: While some ducting is flexible, hosepipes and tubing often offer superior flexibility and can be easily maneuvered or repositioned. This makes them suitable for dynamic environments or where equipment frequently needs to be moved.
5. Material Compatibility: Hosepipes and tubing are available in a wide range of materials designed to be compatible with specific chemicals, oils, and other fluids, reducing the risk of corrosion or degradation and ensuring the integrity of the fluid being transported.
6. Lightweight and Portable: Hosepipes are generally lighter and more portable than ducting, making them easy to transport, deploy, and store, which is particularly beneficial for temporary setups or mobile applications.
7. Precision Delivery: Tubing can offer more precise control over the flow and direction of fluids, which is important in laboratory settings, medical applications, and any scenario where fluid must be delivered accurately to a specific location.
8. Cost-Effectiveness for Liquid Transport: For applications primarily involving the transfer of liquids and gases, hosepipes and tubing can be more cost-effective than ducting due to their specialised design and materials optimised for these purposes.
9. Multi-tube Systems and Cable Integration: Multi-tube systems offer the unique advantage of bundling multiple tubes together, allowing for the simultaneous transport of different fluids or gases within a single, organised assembly. This not only optimises space and reduces clutter but also enhances system efficiency by consolidating connections. Additionally, these systems can be designed to include cables alongside the tubes, facilitating the concurrent management of electrical wiring and fluid or gas lines. This integration is particularly beneficial in applications requiring both power supply and fluid transport, streamlining installation and maintenance while ensuring a more compact and efficient system design.
