FLEX Anti-Static Hose with Air Control – 406708

The hoses used in material handling are susceptible to large amounts of friction, which can develop a large build-up of static electricity. Using an Anti-Static Hose with Air Control can protect the user from this dangerous condition. When materials like wood grains or dust particles are moved through the hose, they constantly collide into one another. This bumping and moving transfers electricity from one particle to another, until a powerful build-up has occurred within the hose. If a static discharge occurs in a hose full of flammable materials, an explosion can occur. This is why an anti-static hose should be used for projects involving flammable particles and prolonged use.

An anti-static hose reduces the overall risk for fire damage while also maximizing the airflow needed for operations. The conductive hose is designed to carry materials safely through the tubing while preventing a significant static build-up. The hose has static dissipating functions, making it ideal for applications in woodworking. The secure snap-on connection of the hosing sleeve to the ventilation unit helps to reduce the exposure of additional static or charge-inducting compounds. Because of the need for grounding to ensure functionality of the anti-static features, the hose has been designed with flexibility. The hose can bend and move as needed to reach the materials without compromising on air-flow. The hose has also been designed with high quality materials that resist chemical abrasions, making it a long-term investment for commercial or residential applications.
