Glass & ceramics

Specially designed abrasion-resistant suction and conveyor hoses are used to transport glass and ceramics, particularly in the form of shards, sand, beads or powder. These hoses are designed to withstand the high levels of abrasion (wear caused by friction) caused by the hard materials. 

Specially designed abrasion-resistant suction and conveying hoses play a crucial role in the reliable transport of glass and ceramic materials. These media are often handled in demanding forms such as sharp-edged shards, coarse granules, fine sand, beads, or ultra-fine powders. Due to their physical properties, these materials generate extremely high levels of abrasion—mechanical wear caused by continuous friction—which can quickly damage standard hose solutions.

In glass and ceramics processing, safe and efficient conveying is essential not only to protect the equipment but also to maintain product quality. Abrasive materials such as glass shards or ceramic powders can cause rapid deterioration if unsuitable hose materials are used. At the same time, conveying systems must be designed to minimize product loss and avoid contamination. 

This highlights the importance of selecting the right hose design and material combination to handle real-world stresses as effectively as possible.

Beyond abrasion resistance, hose assemblies in these applications must frequently cope with additional challenges. Media such as cooling water, chemically aggressive or corrosive lubricants, compressed air, or even explosive gas mixtures demand carefully matched materials and safety-focused designs. Temperature resistance, chemical compatibility, pressure stability, and flexibility all play a key role in ensuring safe and efficient operation.

With the right combination of materials, reinforcement, and construction, modern industrial hoses provide a reliable solution for even the most demanding conveying tasks in the glass and ceramics industry—delivering durability, safety, and performance where it matters most.
