Pneumatic hoses are made of different materials depending on the task. In addition to standard designs for industry and workshops, there are also a number of very special special compressed-air hoses.
The food industry in particular regulates very precisely the use of special materials.
The design of the hoses is also adapted to the task. A spiral hose, for example, is particularly suitable for use on moving parts or for manually operated pneumatic tools.
A variety of pneumatic accessories such as ear clamps, hose holders, worm drive clamps and hose reels complete the range of pneumatic hoses.
