Why should you clean your new hose assemblies?

September 30, 2021 By Mary Gannon Leave a Comment

Hydraulic hose assembly — from manufacture to delivery and cutting and assembly — can be a huge source of contamination, so cleaning the inner tube is crucial to the assembly process.

Hydraulic hoses may appear clean upon arrival in your facility, but every step of the hose fabrication process creates internal contamination that needs to be removed. For instance, they may have contamination from the manufacturer — residual mandrel lubrication may still be inside the hose. Additionally, unless they are sealed from manufacture to your shelves, hoses […]
