Hoses for preventive maintenance

Hoses should be included
in connection with normal equipment maintenance

Hoses also have a certain service life, which of course depends very much on the prevailing conditions. Hose assemblies located outdoors are at the mercy of Finnish nature. Our weather, with its cold and warm variations, is sure to consume the hoses and, plus that, the UV radiation from the sun is the safest eater for the hoses. Thus, the conditions we have already determine the service life of the hoses and, of course, these factors must be taken into account when choosing a hose.

In industrial production plants, the durability of hoses is greatly affected by the mobile substance. The substance can in principle be anything from gas to meat industry pulp. The substance moved in the hose can have a drastic effect on the durability of the hose. For this reason, when transferring consumables, the correct type of hose should be selected and the hose should be pre-serviced to ensure uninterrupted production and safe operation.

The food industry with its purity and classification requirements therefore brings its own special needs for hoses and fittings to make them safe and hygienic to use. Requirements of this type may also contribute to the interval between hoses.

Many things affect the durability of hoses. The hose is a flexible element for the transfer of matter and this feature also limits the durability of the hose. We at the measuring hose run into it every day that the hose is only replaced when, it breaks. Hydraulic movement stops, An unexpected downtime or tank emptying is delayed here are a few examples of destinations. Of course, it is not possible to prepare for all hose breaks with a spare hose, in which case it is up to the local supplier. Downtime of this type can be reduced with sensible preventive maintenance and monitoring tools.

How much time and resources does an unexpected outage in production take due to hose breakdown each year? At worst, the cost of cleaning alone rises to thousands of euros, not to mention the cost of lost production. Replacing a hundred hoses gives you a nice return if you can avoid unnecessary downtime. For this reason, the hoses should be monitored in the factories and an effective change interval should be set for them during downtime. We have the tools to solve this problem Contact us.
