Introduction to Polyurethane PU Ducting

At Silicone Hose UK, we specialize in providing high-quality ducting solutions for demanding industrial applications. Our Polyurethane (PU) Ducting offers exceptional flexibility, durability, and resilience, making it a top choice for industries requiring reliable material transport, ventilation, and dust collection. Made from premium polyurethane, this ducting is engineered to withstand harsh environments while maintaining structural integrity.

Key Features of Polyurethane PU Ducting

• High Abrasion Resistance: Polyurethane PU Ducting has a high level of abrasion resistance, ideal for transporting abrasive materials like wood chips, dust, and metal shavings. The PU material can endure continuous use in environments with heavy wear, providing a longer lifespan than other ducting options.
• Lightweight & Flexible: Our PU ducting is easy to handle, cut, and install, allowing it to fit into tight or awkward spaces. Its flexibility makes it simple to maneuver around machinery or other obstacles, enhancing operational efficiency and reducing installation time.
• Temperature Resistant: Designed to function effectively in a wide range of temperatures, PU ducting operates from -40°C to +90°C. This makes it suitable for environments with temperature fluctuations, such as manufacturing plants, woodworking facilities, and HVAC systems.
• Resistant to Chemicals: PU ducting is resistant to many chemicals, including oil and fuel. This quality is essential in industries that may expose the ducting to oils, solvents, and other chemicals, ensuring long-term durability and minimizing maintenance needs.
• Anti-Static Properties: Made with antistatic properties, our PU ducting prevents the buildup of static electricity, crucial in environments handling fine particles or dust.
• FDA-Grade Polyurethane: Manufactured with FDA-compliant, abrasion-resistant polyurethane, our ducting has a smooth inner surface to ensure minimal friction and efficient transport of materials.
• UV Resistant: Some versions of our PU ducting are UV resistant, making them suitable for outdoor applications without worrying about material degradation over time due to sun exposure.
• Working Pressure: Suitable for pressures up to 3 bar, accommodating various industrial applications that require medium-pressure ducting.

Construction Details

• Liner: FDA polyurethane (polyester) inner layer with a smooth surface for efficient flow.
• Reinforcement: Copper-coated spring steel wire for durability and flexibility; stainless steel wire options are available for specific applications.

Common Applications of Polyurethane PU Ducting

Polyurethane PU ducting is versatile and finds applications across various industries. Some of the common uses include:

• Woodworking: Essential for sawdust extraction, wood chips transport, and general dust collection. The flexibility and durability of PU ducting make it ideal for handling wood waste in carpentry shops, sawmills, and manufacturing plants.
• Textile Industry: Used for transporting lint and dust in textile production, improving air quality and reducing fire hazards by effectively removing loose fibers.
• Food Processing: Suitable for conveying non-toxic materials such as grains, powders, and small food particles. Our PU ducting complies with industry standards, ensuring safe and efficient material handling.
• Automotive Manufacturing: Commonly used in ventilation systems for fume extraction and dust collection during manufacturing processes. The anti-static option is beneficial in these environments where static discharge could be hazardous.
• Pharmaceutical Industry: Ideal for discharge applications and dust extraction at filling stations, particularly for handling fine particles and dry pharmaceutical products.
• HVAC Systems: PU ducting is used for air handling and ventilation in industrial and commercial spaces, providing an efficient solution for both warm and cold air circulation.
• Agriculture: Used for transporting seeds, grains, and animal feed in agricultural operations, ensuring reliable and safe material transfer.
• Construction: PU ducting is beneficial on construction sites for dust collection and ventilation, particularly when handling concrete dust or other fine particles.
