Chemical Suction Hose[KR-180]
A heavy duty suction hose engineered for safe and efficient handling of abrasive and bulk materials
Designed for high performance suction in demanding industrial and vacuum truck applications
The Chemical Suction Hose [KR-180] is a heavy duty, abrasion-resistant industrial hose engineered for demanding suction and transfer applications. It is specially designed for vacuum trucks and for handling highly abrasive and bulk materials such as crushed rock, sand, gravel, cement powder, fertilizers, iron ore, and grains. Built to perform in tough environments, this hose delivers reliable suction performance while maintaining flexibility and structural integrity.
Manufactured from premium synthetic rubber with carbon black, the KR-180 offers excellent resistance to abrasion, chemicals, and UV exposure, ensuring long service life even in harsh outdoor and industrial conditions. The hose is reinforced with a rigid PVC helix, providing superior crush resistance and preventing collapse under high vacuum. Its smooth bore promotes efficient material flow and minimizes pressure loss, while the corrugated outer surface with smooth skin enhances flexibility and ease of handling.
Designed with safety and efficiency in mind, the KR-180 features static dissipating properties without the need for a grounding wire, reducing the risk of static buildup during operation. With a wide service temperature range of -40°F to 140°F, this hose remains dependable across extreme working conditions, making it a trusted solution for industrial, construction, mining, and agricultural applications.
