Specially designed, abrasion-resistant PU suction and conveyor hoses (PUR spiral hoses) are used for transporting glass and ceramics, particularly in the form of shards, sand, beads, or powder. The hoses are designed to withstand extremely high abrasion and wear caused by friction.
Abrasion-resistant PU suction and conveyor hoses (PUR spiral hoses) developed by the Masterflex Group play a crucial role in the reliable transport of glass and ceramic materials. These materials are often handled in challenging forms such as sharp-edged shards, coarse granules, fine sand, beads, or ultrafine powders. Due to their physical properties, they cause extremely high abrasion loads, such as mechanical wear from continuous friction, which can quickly damage standard hose solutions. Our PU suction and conveying hoses withstand these stresses, ensure a long service life, and remain safe and flexible during continuous operation.
In glass and ceramics processing, safe and efficient transport is essential not only to protect the equipment but also to ensure product quality. Abrasive materials such as glass shards or ceramic powders can lead to rapid wear if unsuitable hose materials are used. At the same time, conveying systems must be designed to minimize product loss and prevent contamination.

In addition to abrasion resistance, hose assemblies in these applications often face additional challenges. Media such as cooling water, chemically aggressive or corrosive lubricants, compressed air, or even explosive gas mixtures require carefully matched materials and safety-oriented designs. Temperature resistance, chemical compatibility, pressure stability, and flexibility all play a crucial role in ensuring safe and efficient operation.
With the right combination of materials, reinforcement, and design, modern industrial hoses offer a reliable solution even for the most demanding conveying tasks in the glass and ceramics industries—ensuring durability, safety, and performance where it matters most.
