Welcome to the first edition of the Aflex Hose Newsletter. The aim is to keep you informed of new products and developments based around the Aflex product range. Today we introduce Corroflon, Pharmalex, Relink and Flowtag. In future issues, we will be showcasing application issues and how they were answered. Please do not hesitate to contact your Engineer or Distributor to discuss these or other products from our range.
Corroflon - The Ultimate Chemical Transfer Hose | If you are operating a road tanker fleet, transferring chemicals around site or running a chemical manufacturing facility, we have the hose for all applications - CORROFLON manufactured from PTFE, the most robust chemical transfer material on the planet. So why have composite hoses, PVC hoses, rubber hoses? - Remove those safety issues, remove the chance of the wrong hose being used on the wrong application. When you combine PTFE with the Aflex expertise and product range, we welcome you to the world of CORROFLON, a hose with a 35-year pedigree and which is used all over the world in some of the severest applications. Corroflon is available up to 6 inch bore with a full range of lined and non-lined end fittings in materials from Polypropylene to Stainless Steel and Hastelloy. You can then add a range of Braid and External covers and you have a hose designed specifically for your application, not a hose that may or may not work. All the Corroflon range carries the 24-month Manufacturers Guarantee and has the full support structure of not only the Aflex facilities in the UK and the USA, but also our work network of licensed distributors and assemblers. CORROFLON - the best convoluted hose in the world. |
At Last - An Answer to the Woes of Silicone | For years PTFE has been frowned upon by the Silicone Hose Manufacturers. Everyone knew it to be a better product, more robust, more cleanable, did not absorb product, can be autoclaved without degradation and less likely to kink, but no longer - Aflex are proud to announce an alternative, now a successor, to Silicone - PHARMALEX. PHARMALEX is based upon the world-renowned Bioflex hose. It consists of a highly flexible PTFE liner and a clear silicone outer cover. The hose is semi-transparent so you can see the media, is easily cleanable inside and out and today carries the certification that excluded it from entering the world of Silicone hose. PHARMALEX comes with FDA Approvals, USP Class VI inner and outer, Atex, 3.1B Certification, C of C and full test data. PHARMALEX has just been awarded supply status by one of the world leading Pharmaceutical Companies involved with vaccines, blood plasma and salines. They realised that Aflex had advanced PTFE hose manufacture to a level where it was in advance of Silicone and would offer benefits such as better hygiene control, better cleanability, cost effectiveness and reduced cross contamination issues. |
Launch Announcement Aflex are proud to announce the imminent launch of 2 amazing new products - Relink and Flowtag The integration of these two products into our hose range will offer you, the customer, the best available product in areas such as engineering, reliability, hygiene, cleanability and of course value for money - the new products are:-
Relink End Fitting Design | A range of re-useable fittings and ferrules that allow you, the Customer, the opportunity to assemble our Pharmaline and Pharmalex range on site or in your workshops or vans. Based around a mechanical press using no screw threads, it brings hygienic self-assembly hoses combined with the Aflex quality to you. The official launch date of this product will be February 13th 2008, however please do not hesitate to contact your Engineer or Distributor beforehand to arrange a demonstration of this unparalleled product. Please follow this link for more information about RELINK. |
RFID - Flowtag | We looked at what was available in the market place and we listened to you the customer. Your issues included having to be on top of the hose for the reader to work and limited scope of information. So, we developed Flowtag to work with our entire PTFE hose product range. Tags can be read from 0 to 6 metres (18 feet) using the basic system or an amazing 100 metres (300 feet) using the advanced system. The tags can be retrofitted to all plant parts, not only hoses, giving you a full Hose Plant Management System. Please follow this link for more information about FLOWTAG. |
Again the full launch of this product will be early February, but please do not hesitate to contact your Engineer or Distributor for an introduction to these products. These are two products to compliment our PTFE hose range and again are proof that Aflex listens to its customers and delivers what is required. All the above are supported by the expertise of Aflex both from our UK and our USA based facilities, but also our World Distribution Network. Not forgetting that we also offer our 24-months Manufacturers warranty on all our product range.
