Paper mills run complex systems that demand specialized hoses. In collection and transfer lines, the Flx-Thane HD and VHD Clear move high-velocity paper fiber without wearing through, keeping lines clear and reducing maintenance shutdowns. Paper dust is combustible — fiber buildup can ignite under the right conditions, making proper hose selection, grounding, and airflow velocity all important considerations.
In drying sections where rolls reach extreme temperatures, standard hoses fail rapidly. The Heat-Flex GS and CW-325 handle mid-range heat exposure to 325°F, while the Flex-Lok 750, Flex-Lok 1050, and Flex-Lok 1200 are designed for the hottest zones. These stainless steel and silicone-reinforced hoses expand and contract with thermal cycling without cracking or leaking.
