New Technology
In order to meet the requirements of applications where flexibility is an essential feature, Alfagomma has developed two innovative structures code named:
4+4 SP & 4+4 SP PLUS
made up of 4 textile and 4 steel spirals, which are used for the manufacture of all suction and delivery hoses. The four textile spirals ensure size stability and control, while the four steel spirals make hoses vacuum resistant and more flexible. The 4+4 SP structure ensures a bend radius ranging between four & five times the internal diameter.
Whereas, the 4+4 SP PLUS structure has been designed for those hoses where the application requires a bend radius three times the internal diameter. The 4+4 SP and the 4+4 SP PLUS structures eliminate the need for corrugated hoses to achieve a higher bend radius. Hoses with the above structures are marked with the following sign in the catalogue:
