The new Diamondback tubular sleeve from Suburban Manufacturing is part of the company’s Python line of protective sleeves and covers. It protects operators from hose burst and pin holes. The sleeve material is pin hole protection tested to 4,000 psi and burst tested to 12,000 psi. It meets operator “Line of Sight” specification EN982 norm […]
ULS.2 label printer allows color coding for hose storage and maintenance
The new ULS.2 label printer from UNIFLEX helps manufacturers of hose assemblies and repair workshops for hydraulic hoses to affix color-coded “BBD” labels on their workpieces so that the latter can be replaced in time before potential wear damages actually occur. Another benefit is that the manufacturer’s mark can be added as an advertising measure. […]

Hose wraps mean hose safety
I recently had the opportunity to speak with Jerry Pawluk, President of Safeplast NA, a manufacturer of hose guards and sleeves. The oil and gas sector is a big one for the company, and Pawluk said the company has seen a big uptake in the sector over the past few months. In fact, the company […]
Catching up with Continental ContiTech
Fairlawn, Ohio-based Continental ContiTech is a manufacturer of industrial and hydraulic hoses. At the IFPE show in Las Vegas this month, I had the chance to catch up with Randy Kish, the company’s Manager, Distributor Marketing for Industrial Hose & Hydraulics. Kish noted that while “everybody in hydraulics follows SAE standards” for hose—meaning that the […]
Parker’s SplashShield hose sleeve protects environment, shields equipment
Parker Hannifin has introduced SplashShield hose sleeve, a new abrasion-resistant, protective sleeve that serves as a splash container to deflect hot oil or other fluids conveyed by the hose away from sensitive controls and reduce the need for hazardous material cleanup. Not only does it protect the hose from fluids spraying on the hose, but it also […]
Ryco hose protection devices ensure hydraulic hose safety
A resounding theme at IFPE 2017 this week has been talk about safety. With high-pressure hydraulics, one must always think about the dangers presented, particularly with hose, when fluids can escape and cause leaks and even cause a hose to burst, creating dangerous hose whip. That’s why one of the most prominent displays at Ryco […]
How do you protect hydraulic hose?
Hydraulic hose assemblies rarely operate in controlled, protected environments. Rather, rough and demanding conditions are the norm. Thus, hose is often exposed to flying debris in mobile equipment and the likes of weld spatter and hot metal chips—or even the errant lift truck—in industrial settings. Add to that, hoses subjected to continuous movement and machine […]
Suburban Manufacturing releases new sleeve
Suburban Manufacturing, Inc. (SMI), providers of reusable protective sleeving, has officially released a complete line of Radiant Shield sleeving. The sleeve was engineered for use in applications where maintaining proper fluid temperature is important, and is available in three different variations to provide optimal abrasion protection and heat containment required for the specific application. Adding […]
Hose protection ensures safe hydraulic designs
During the course of everyday operations, hydraulic hose assemblies are exposed to moisture, dirt, corrosion, high temperatures and physical impact. Continuous movement and rubbing against other hoses or equipment—often caused by machine vibrations—can erode hose covers, while non-compatible fluids can eat away at them as well. And once this outer layer of protection is […]
