Overview
"Bredel hose elements: The perfect hose for Bredel pumps"
Only Bredel precision machine every hose to guarantee tolerances and perfect hose compression.
Pump life and efficiency depends on an original Bredel hose being fitted in our pumps.
Key features of Bredel hose elements include:
- Choice of compounds for compatibility with virtually all fluids
- The hose is the pump - single component change and reduced inventory
- Multiple layers of nylon reinforcement for excellent suction and pressure performance
- 100% hose compression eliminates slippage
- Pump viscous and abrasive slurries and sludge with up to 80% solids in suspension
Natural rubber (NR) Endurance
The hose element is critical to ensure pump performance, durability and efficiency. Bredel composite reinforced hoses are constructed from high-quality compounded rubbers reinforced with four individual layers of braided nylon, and finished by high-precision machining. Inner and outer layers are extruded and, after construction, machined to ensure critical tolerances are maintained.
Perfect 100% compression eliminates slippage which can destroy shear sensitive product and reduce metering accuracy.
Key features of Bredel hose elements include:
- Tight tolerances for low stress on bearings
- Perfect compression for long life
- Excellent suction performance – 9m (30ft) suction lift
- High pressure capability – 16 bar (232psi)
- Repeatable volumetric accuracy to ± 1%
- Consistent capacity independent of varying suction and discharge conditions
- Exceptional performance when handling high viscosity product
Outstanding abrasion resistance. Generally resistant to diluted acids and alcohols.
- Max. fluid temperature: 80C (176F)
- Min. fluid temperature: -20C (-4F)
