Glass & Ceramics
Specially designed, abrasion-resistant suction and conveyor hoses are used to transport glass and ceramics, particularly in the form of shards, sand, beads, or powder. These hoses are designed to withstand the high levels of abrasion (wear caused by friction) resulting from these hard materials.
Specially designed, abrasion-resistant suction and conveying hoses 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, these materials cause extremely high abrasion—mechanical wear caused by continuous friction—which can quickly damage standard hose solutions.
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.
This underscores how important it is to choose the right hose construction and combination of materials in order to withstand the stresses of real-world use as effectively as possible.
In addition to abrasion resistance, hose assemblies in these applications often must overcome 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.
