Industries and Applications
FlexComp composite hoses are built for industry’s toughest applications
Marine and Rail
Certified composite hoses are used extensively in marine applications for the transfer of various liquids such as fuels, oils and chemicals. Ship-to-shore transfer is governed by terminal guidelines and requires composite hoses that are durable, flexible and resistant to corrosion as they ensure efficient and safe fluid handling in maritime environments.
In rail applications, composite hoses are most suitable for railcar loading and unloading operations. Used for a wide range of fluids composite hoses for rail use are best served with hoses that are lightweight, flexible and resistant to abrasion and weather conditions.
Petrochemicals and Oil Refineries
Composite hoses are utilized in petrochemicals and oil refineries for the safe transport of corrosive chemicals, acids, alkalis, solvents, and petroleum products. With their robust construction and resistance to high pressures and extreme temperatures, these hoses ensure efficient and reliable operations in these industries.
Bulk Terminal Handling
Widely used in bulk terminal handling facilities for the transfer of liquids, these hoses are designed to provide a flexible and safe connection between the transfer pumps and the handling equipment. They are highly resistant to wear and abrasion, ensuring reliable and long-lasting performance.
In-Plant
Ideal for in-plant transfers, composite hoses are used for process piping, tank-to-process handling, filling totes and drums and general transfer of raw goods in and out of tank farms.
Chemicals, food and pharmaceuticals
Composite hoses play a vital role in chemical production, food, and pharmaceutical industries. They are used for safely and efficiently transferring corrosive chemicals, acids, alkalis, and solvents. In the food and pharmaceutical sectors, these hoses are utilized for hygienic transport of liquids, meeting strict quality and safety standards.
Pulp and Paper
Composite hoses are used in the pulp and paper industry for various applications. They are used for transporting chemicals, acids, and solvents required in the production process. These hoses are engineered to withstand the harsh conditions of the industry and ensure safe and reliable transfer of chemicals during manufacturing operations.
General Manufacturing Applications
FlexComp Hoses are used in boiler and generation units, high temperature lubricating lines, cooling water and degassers in steel and metal manufacturing. As well, hoses are commonly used in industrial temperature control solutions applications such as chillers, cooling towers and temporary water lines. Other manufacturing applications include use in dewatering, tooling and general robotics and automation.
Technical Manufacturing Applications
Defence, aerospace, semiconductor and hydrogen manufacturers rely on composite hose for material handling, dispensing and cryogenic brake systems.
