Oltre Clear PU Flexible Antistatic Duct / Hose (Per 5m off a Continuous 10m Roll)

The Oltre Clear PU Flexible Antistatic Duct is a durable and versatile solution designed for a wide range of dust extraction, ventilation, and industrial applications. This ducting provides exceptional flexibility, strength, and resistance to abrasion, making it ideal for both light and heavy-duty use.

Key Features

• Material: High-quality clear polyurethane (PU) for excellent durability and wear resistance.
• Antistatic Properties: Ensures safety in environments with static electricity risks, such as dust extraction systems.
• Flexibility: Highly flexible construction allows for easy installation, even in tight or complex spaces.
• Transparency: Clear material allows for visual inspection of debris flow.
• Temperature Range: Operates efficiently in temperatures from -40℃ to +90℃, withstanding brief surges up to 125℃.
• Reinforced Spring Steel Wire: Provides enhanced structural integrity while maintaining flexibility.

Specifications

• Length: Sold per 5 metres (cut from a 10m roll).
• Diameter Options: Available in various diameters to suit different applications - Available in 25mm to 305mm diameters. 
• Material Type: Clear polyurethane (PU) with antistatic properties.

Applications

• Dust extraction systems for woodworking, metalworking, and other industries.
  • for abrasive solids such as dust, powder, fibres, chips and particles
  • for dust removal (de-dusting) and suction plants.
  • for extraction arms and dust collection equipment 
  • for CNC machining areas
• Ventilation systems for HVAC and industrial processes.
  
  • for industrial air movement and fume control - gaseous environments such as oil gas and welding fumes,
• Transporting granules, powders, or fine materials in production lines.

Nature

• Good chemical resistance, can be grounded to eliminate static electricity (according to BGR 132, formerly ZH 1/200), the bending radius is approximately equal to the outer diameter.

• Construction
  • Spring Steel Wire integrated in wall
  • Wall Thickness - 0.4 mm approx.
• Material
  • Duct Wall - Polyurethane (PUR)
  • Spiral - Elastic Steel Wire (Copper Plated)
• Standard Colour
  • Transparent
• Other Properties
  • Optimised flow properties
  • Microbe and hydrolysis resistant
  • Good resistance to chemicals
  • Good resistance to UV and ozone
  • Very good low temperature flexibility
  • Small bending radius
  • Kink-proof
  • Gas and liquid tight
  • Good resistance to abrasion 
  • Excellent compressibility 3:1 
  • Can be made anti-static by grounding the spiral • 
  • Good tensile strength
• Operating Temperature Range (-40 °C to +90 °C):
  • • The ducting is designed to handle continuous exposure to temperatures as low as -40℃ and as high as +90℃ without losing its structural integrity or performance.
• Instantaneous Temperature (125℃):
  • • The ducting can withstand brief or instantaneous exposure to temperatures up to 125℃, such as sudden heat spikes or surges, without permanent damage. However, it is not recommended for prolonged use at this temperature.

What This Means for Delivery Systems:

• Cold Applications: Suitable for low-temperature environments, such as refrigerated systems or cold industrial settings.
• Hot Air or Dust Collection Systems: Can handle warm or hot air, such as from dust collection or HVAC systems, and occasional high-temperature events, like heat spikes from machinery.
• Limitations: Prolonged exposure to temperatures exceeding +90℃ or sustained exposure to 125℃ can cause material degradation, leading to reduced durability and performance.

If you're using this ducting in a high-heat or demanding environment, ensure it aligns with these temperature specifications for optimal performance.

Important Notes:

• Ensure compatibility with your system's requirements before purchase.
• Installation in high-static environments should follow proper grounding procedures.
