Electro-Galvanised Flexible Steel Tube – Interlock Type for High-Durability Applications

When your system demands a conduit that stands up to extreme conditions while remaining flexible and reliable, the electro-galvanised flexible steel tube (interlock type) delivers. Engineered from deep-drawing quality carbon steel to BS.1449 and treated with a robust electro-galvanised finish, this tube features a tightly inter folded metal strip construction that ensures both durability and flexibility. The interlocked edges create a smooth bore ideal for air, dust, or granular flows, while its wire-packing option boosts mechanical strength and gas-tight integrity. Operating in temperatures up to 500 °C, it’s built to handle demanding environments.

In practical terms, this tube is well-suited for sectors where vibration, thermal expansion and material handling place intense strain on equipment. Whether used for engine exhaust systems, industrial extraction for powders and granules, or protective casing for wiring, its high crush resistance and resilient build reduce maintenance downtime and improve system uptime.

Choosing this interlock-type electro-galvanised flexible steel tubing means selecting quality that addresses both operational performance and long-term reliability.

Pharmapress Hygienic TPE-S Rubber Hose – Food & Pharma Grade

When your business demands uncompromising quality in fluid transfer for the food, beverage or pharmaceutical sectors, the Pharmapress hose stands out. Manufactured without any vulcanisation process, it eliminates the risk of curing-agent residue while offering excellent chemical resistance, smooth internal and external surfaces for optimum flow and easy cleaning, and compliance with stringent industry standards. The construction — TPE-S rubber reinforced with high-tenacity polyester yarn — ensures robust performance across a temperature range of –30 °C to +100 °C, making it versatile for a wide range of applications.

In real-world operations the benefits translate into lower maintenance and assurance of product integrity. From premium wines, fruit juices and spirits with up to 96 % alcohol content, to creams, soaps, milk by-products and oil/fat-based media, this hose supports media with demanding chemical and hygiene profiles.

Its food-grade certifications (EU 10/2011 Classes A–D2, FDA Title 21 CFR 177.2600 D & E, USP Class VI) help you meet regulatory requirements and protect taste and odour along the line. If you’re seeking an industry-ready hose that combines performance, traceability and peace of mind, Pharmapress delivers.
