Bioflex hose - In 1998, Aflex Hose fulfilled the most stringent demand yet. Customers, worldwide, had always asked for the ultimate PTFE lined flexible hose.... one product which incorporates the advantages of both convoluted and smoothbore designs. A product which is sufficiently flexible, like convoluted, yet which retains the advantages offered by smoothbore, like fast flow rate and cleanability.

Corroflon was launched in 1978 and, since then has been continually updated and improved. Now it is the industry-standard convoluted flexible PTFE hose for major chemical, pharmaceutical and food companies worldwide.

Corroflons design differs from every other PTFE hose on the market, which results in distinctive and measurable performance and safety advantages.

Pharmaline is a unique, smoothbore PTFE-Lined hose product, based on a patented PTFE hose liner tube design.

Pharmaline is designed to overcome the primary disadvantage of currently available similar products, namely POOR FLEXIBILITY.

Although excellent flexibility is often claimed for comparable products, the truth is that they are all considerably less flexible than Pharmaline, particularly in large bore sizes.

Pharmalex is a very flexible, patented smoothbore PTFE lined hose product with a clear silicone rubber cover. It is designed to replace conventional all-silicone rubber hoses in applications where the inner silicone rubber liner may be subject to chemical reaction with fluids passing through, which may either contaminate the fluid, or degrade the rubber liner.

The Hydraline Range of Products includes 3 groups, designed for assembly with standard, off the shelf hydraulic fittings, using ferrules supplied by Aflex.

• Hydraline SB - Standard, Smoothbore natural or antistatic PTFE tube with a single stainless steel wire braid or double braid (to special order)
• Hydraline V (also called Visiflon) - Seamless extruded and convoluted natural or antistatic tube, with a stainless steel braid, or an orange Polypropylene Braid (to special order)
• Hydraline FX - Our revolutionary new product. A natural or antistatic PTFE tube with a smooth bore, but externally convoluted. Supplied with a stainless steel wire braid or a Black Polyaramid Fibre braid. Hydraline FX combines the advantages of Hydraline SB (smoothbore, therefore excellent flow rates) with Hydraline V (convoluted, therefore much more flexible, particularly in the bigger bore sizes) in ONE product.

Smoothbore PTFE hose including specialist 'High Pressure Gas' and 'Anti Static' varieties. A wide range of range of external covers including Hytrel, PVC, Nylon, Polyolefin, Polyamide or rubbers can be applied on top of the braid.

These covers can be longitudinally printed with name, working pressures as required.

The Flowtag RFID system puts you in control of your hose and production environment. No more searching for Test Certificates, FDA or USP approvals. It brings a strict control of test, cleaning and replacement dates.

The user friendly system incorporates a hand held scanner that when in scan mode identifies the required hose or piece of production equipment using LED identification, eliminating the need to manually search for equipment. The system can read tags up to a distance of 100 mtrs (300 ft), so all items of plant become accessible.

The Flowtag RFID system comes with a full technical support package and guarantee. Combine all this with Atex approval, CE Certification and ROHS compliance and you have a tracking and control system to cater for your Company's exacting requirements.

A range of reusable 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.

Applications now also include automotive, refrigerant, steam and gas transfer, and many more - wherever superb temperature and chemicals resistance, or cleanability of PTFE are primary requirements. Aflex's reputation for innovative design and build quality is second to none, and has earned the company market leadership of the PTFE lined flexible hose market for Process Fluid Applications worldwide.
