How to make Industrial Rubber Hose

Posted by Christian Silmaro on October 1st, 2018

Many industries use rubber holes in their day to day operations sometimes they use it to remove water or evacuate waste or to supply surgeon machines in the factory with air or water or raw materials for instance food producers might feed ingredients through a rubber hose into a mixer.

This company makes a low pressure and medium pressure rubber hoses the intended use is what determines the rubber composition function also determines the color because industrial hoses are often color coded.

The rubber arrives at the factory from the supplier in rough strips the first step is to run it through a mail the rollers heat the robber softening and smoothing it to an even texture.

The next machine cuts the robber in strips to the precise with and fitness required for the sides oppose they're going to construct.

Workers lubricate a steel mandrel that's the exact size of the hoses bore as the mandrel spins they wrap a rubber strip around it measuring and leering if necessary to build the thickness thereafter.

Next they add one or more reinforcement players this strip is made of a high strength synthetic fabric that's been coated in robber is designed to withstand the pressure to which the holes will be subjected.

The last layer of rubber forms the hoses outside covering after verifying that the final diameter is correct they wrap the entire holes construction tightly in wet nylon tape the table later shrink and compress all the materials together.

This factory also makes hoses with a built in attachment on the ends they position on the mandrel then glue the first layer of rubber to it. Then they reinforce the bond with special textile strips. And tightly wound high strength carbon steel wire.

They continue the wire more loosely down the body of the hose at a specific angle designed to withstand vacuum pressure then they wrap the holes in a soft stretchy rubber strip that fills the gaps between the wires.

Next comes a layer of high strength rubber coated fabric then finally the exterior covering light blue rubber for this model.

The pressure rap again with wet nylon tape then to make the hose more flexible they create corrugations by wrapping it tightly in rolled what's under the robe comp ax creating a dip.

They add another layer of nylon tape to hold the rope in place.
