Moulded Rubber Bellows hose is a type of hose bellows designed to compensate for misalignment, neutralise movement and reduce noise and vibration in pipelines. They effectively dampen the transmission of sound and vibration from plant items in building service installations, and can be used for many applications including water, oils, chemicals, gases and in the food industry depending upon the grade of the rubber used in the rubber bellows hose.
Usage limitations are specified herein, but other factors may be present in any given application including mechanical abuse, abrasion, safety risks to staff, etc. Unless all these details are given to Proflex Hose Limited in advance so that the best possible product for the application can be recommended, Proflex Hose Limited cannot accept responsibility for unsatisfactory performance.
PTFE Smooth Bore Hose Pipe is a versatile, customisable system which provides a wide range of available properties and attributes for your project. With a durable and nonreactive hose liner, this flexible PTFE tubing is suitable for use in a variety of industries.
PTFE hoses are formed from one single piece of seamless flexible PTFE tubing, made only with high-quality PTFE to ensure an excellent product that can meet varied needs across various industries. The PTFE smooth bore hose pipe from Proflex Hose is heat treated and tested as part of an extensive quality control process to provide consistent excellence and a Smoothbore PTFE lined hose with the maximum possible flexibility and the minimum porosity.
If required, the flexible PTFE tubing can then be fitted with a braided steel sheath, made from AISI grade 304 stainless steel wire. With high tensile strength and an impressive resistance to corrosion, temperature and physical, mechanical damage, this braiding can protect PTFE hoses from a range of potential damaging factors and vastly improves its pressure capabilities. With a weave that is carefully controlled in its construction and angle, stainless steel PTFE hose braiding can provide a range of advantages to your business.
Flexible PTFE tubing from Proflex Hose is available in a selection of sizes to suit your needs. If you need to work with steam, paint, ink, chemicals, food or other fluids, the standard wall Smoothbore PTFE hose is the perfect solution, but if you need more pressure capability or rapid changes in temperature, then heavy wall braided PTFE smoothbore hose may be a better choice.

Lastly, PTFE smoothbore hose pipe is essentially self-cleaning – as PTFE hose has a powerfully non-stick nature, making sure that material passing through the pipe cannot form plaques or settle in any area, which would create the risk of contamination or microbial growth.
Usage limitations of PTFE hoses are specified herein, but some other factors may play a role in the lifespan and performance of your flexible PTFE tubing. Mechanical abuse, physical damage and other potential factors can all change the properties of your PTFE hose, and unless you notify Proflex Hose of all of these details in advance to allow recommendation of the ideal hose for your needs, we cannot take responsibility for unsatisfactory performance.
We can provide a collection of bespoke fixtures and fittings for your product.
There are three varieties of PTFE convoluted hose available from Proflex Hose. Each of them is based on a base layer of PTFE convoluted tubing, providing a seamless pipe, able to resist temperature and chemical corrosion and providing an easy-clean PTFE pipe solution which suits dozens of industries.
The first available variety of PTFE convoluted hose available from Proflex Hose is “tube only”, which is an unsheathed PTFE hose. Extremely lightweight, you also benefit from the semi-transparency of the material, but operating pressure must be drastically reduced to no more than 2 Bar.
For maximum pressure resistance, chemical resistance and physical durability, choose the stainless steel braided PTFE flexible tubing from Proflex Hose. Coated with a sheath of braided stainless steel wires, this PTFE convoluted tubing is able to work at double the maximum pressure of Polymer Braided hose, and considerably higher temperatures. The stainless steel wire braid also provides considerable physical armour against knocks, abrasions or other mechanical damage.
All three grades of PTFE hose pipe are available with an anti-static PTFE tube instead of the conventional semi-transparent PTFE liner. This anti-static liner is necessary when fluids exhibiting high electrical resistance, like solvents or fuels, are piped through the convoluted PTFE tube. With a lower electrical resistance between the liner and the end fittings, any static electricity which is beginning to collect on or within the pipe can dissipate harmlessly before building to potentially risky levels. This is in accordance with BS2050:1978 – but if in doubt, contact Proflex Hose to see whether your application will need anti-static hose.
