Drain hose products can differ in material, flexibility, corrugation profile, fixed or extendable construction, end connection and package length. These details affect the forming method, tooling and downstream equipment.
RUNNING MACHINE uses the finished hose specification to discuss the extrusion and forming line, including any cutting, compression, end-forming or winding steps required by the product.
Define the finished hose first
- Appliance, washbasin or other intended use
- Resin or compound
- Fixed-length or extendable construction
- Hose dimensions and corrugation profile
- End shape, cuff or connector requirement
- Product length and packaged length
- Flexibility, leakage or other test requirement
Typical equipment scope
The line may include material feeding, extrusion, die tooling, corrugation forming, cooling, length control, cutting, optional compression or end processing and packaging-related handling. The proposal should identify which operations are included.
Information needed for a proposal
- Hose drawing and application
- Material specification
- Size range and wall details
- Fixed or extendable design
- End connection drawing
- Cut and package lengths
- Target production rate
- Inspection requirements
- Factory utilities and layout
Frequently asked questions
Can an extendable hose be produced automatically?
Automation can be evaluated after the hose profile, compressed length, extended length, cutting method and acceptable product presentation are specified.
Can end cuffs or connectors be formed on the line?
The end design and material determine the appropriate process. Send a drawing or sample so the required operation can be separated from the base corrugated-hose line.
What sample information is most useful?
Include overall dimensions, corrugation pitch, wall details, end geometry, material and the test standard used for acceptance.
