Stainless Steel Smooth Bore Stripwound Hose

Stainless Steel Smooth Bore Flexible Tubing

Stainless Steel Smooth Bore Flexible Tubing combines the flexibility and durability of stripwound metal hose with a substantially smoother internal bore. Its reduced internal profile provides a clearer flow path, making it particularly suited to extraction, airflow and material conveyance applications.

  • Smoother internal bore for improved flow
  • Flexible and durable stainless steel construction
  • Ideal for dust, powders, granules and swarf
  • Suitable for extraction and airflow applications
  • Excellent alternative to rigid pipework
  • Bespoke lengths and assemblies available

Smooth Bore Stripwound Hose is a new product development. If you require a size, material, or length that is not shown, please contact our sales team with your application details and we will advise on suitability and availability.

Product Details

Whitehouse Stainless Steel Smooth Bore Flexible Tubing has been developed for applications requiring the durability and flexibility of stripwound metal hose together with an improved internal flow path.

Manufactured from a specially formed, helically wound metal strip, the reduced internal profile creates a considerably smoother passage than conventional stripwound tubing. This helps minimise internal obstruction and provides a clearer route for air and conveyed materials.

The tubing is particularly suited to extraction, airflow and material handling applications, including dust, sawdust, metal swarf, powders, granules and plastic pellets.

Its flexible metallic construction also makes it an effective alternative to rigid pipework where installations need to accommodate bends, vibration, movement, misalignment or restricted spaces.

Whitehouse can supply standard and non-standard lengths, with bespoke hose assemblies and a variety of end connections available to suit individual applications.

FAQs

What is Stainless Steel Smooth Bore Flexible Tubing?

Stainless Steel Smooth Bore Flexible Tubing is a specially developed stripwound flexible metal hose with a reduced internal profile. It provides a smoother internal passage than conventional stripwound tubing while retaining flexibility and the mechanical advantages of metallic construction.

What is the main advantage of Smooth Bore Flexible Tubing?

Its main advantage is its smoother internal flow path. This can improve the passage of air and conveyed materials while reducing opportunities for particles to catch or accumulate within the hose.

How is Smooth Bore different from conventional stripwound tubing?

Smooth Bore uses a specially developed strip profile designed to create a substantially smoother internal surface, making it particularly suitable for extraction, airflow and material conveyance applications.

Is Stainless Steel Smooth Bore suitable for dust extraction?

Yes. Its smoother internal profile makes it particularly suitable for dust and particulate extraction because there are fewer pronounced internal areas where material can collect.

Can Smooth Bore Flexible Tubing be used for sawdust and wood chips?

Yes. It can be suitable for woodworking extraction systems handling sawdust and wood chips, subject to the operating conditions of the installation.

Can it be used for metal swarf?

Yes. Its metallic construction makes it particularly suited to applications involving metal chips and swarf. The exact construction should be selected according to the size, shape, temperature and abrasiveness of the material.

Is Smooth Bore suitable for powders and granules?

Yes. The smoother internal passage makes it suitable for conveying compatible powders, granules and plastic pellets where flexibility and reduced internal obstruction are important.

Can Whitehouse manufacture bespoke Smooth Bore hose assemblies?

Yes. Whitehouse can manufacture made-to-order assemblies incorporating Smooth Bore Flexible Tubing with suitable end fittings, connectors and bespoke components to meet individual application requirements.
