Innovative Automotive Hose Manufacturing: Open House Invitation

Hoses are the unsung heroes within vehicles, essential for various functions from cooling systems to fuel delivery. They are, without a doubt, a vital component of a vehicle’s anatomy.

As the automotive industry evolves, hose manufacturing has kept pace, transforming from simple rubber tubes to sophisticated, critical components for vehicle safety and efficiency. This evolution necessitates a symbiotic relationship between users, hose manufacturers, and machinery producers from the outset.

Navigating Technical Hose Production Challenges

Modern hoses must meet rigorous standards for pressure stability, permeation rates, temperature resilience, media resistance, and precise production tolerances. Addressing these demands calls for innovative manufacturing processes, reflected in the diverse configurations of our hose extrusion lines.

Mandrel-Free Hose Manufacturing: The Cutting-Edge Approach

Our mandrel-free hose manufacturing process is a leap forward, particularly for the automotive sector. By eliminating the need for mandrels, we unlock a host of benefits and new production capabilities.

Key Benefits of Mandrel-Free Hose Production

Choosing mandrel-free production is influenced by the end product’s requirements, material selection, and a thorough cost-benefit analysis. This method offers significant advantages:

• It allows for the cutting of continuous hoses into specific lengths post-extrusion, ready to be transformed into bespoke shaped hoses.
• It removes the need for mandrel extraction post-vulcanization, streamlining the production process.
• It eliminates the need for mandrel production, preparation, and potential recycling.

This innovative approach not only enhances efficiency and flexibility but also elevates the quality of the hoses produced while reducing costs and boosting production capacity.
