Increased production of braid reinforced hose

NewAge Industries recently invested in improvements in its manufacturing processes and created increased capacity for its braided hose production lines

NewAge Industries recently invested in improvements in its manufacturing processes and created increased capacity for its braided hose production lines.

Inventories of the company's braid reinforced PVC hose, Nylobrade, and braid reinforced polyurethane hose, Urebrade, have been increased, and custom work - different sizes, colours, cut-to-length pieces, heat-formed shapes - is now possible.

"We're continuously seeking improvements to our manufacturing methods," said Ken Baker, CEO.

"Customers demand faster turnaround times, even on customised products, so it's in everyone's best interest to develop and implement more efficient ways of making our products.

We can't afford to become complacent".

Pricing volatility in the market over the last year has also necessitated production improvements.

Streamlining processes to become more efficient helps to minimise the effects of fluctuations in raw material, fuel, and logistics costs.

NewAge PVC hose, Nylobrade, is suitable for a variety of applications including air lines, fluid transfer, protective jacketing, discharge lines, and others.

Nylobrade is clear and produced in twelve stock sizes ranging from 1/8'' to 2'' ID, with three wall thicknesses - thin, standard, and high pressure - available.

Its ingredients conform to USP Class VI and FDA standards.

Naturally transparent, ether-based Urebrade polyurethane hose is manufactured from raw material listed by the National Sanitation Foundation (NSF 61).

It is also available in opaque black for industrial purposes.

Urebrade offers uses similar to Nylobrade, although it is also appropriate for use with fuels, oils, and greases.

Sizes range from 1/4'' to 2'' ID for the transparent style and from 1/4'' to 3/4'' ID for the black version.

In addition to PVC and polyurethane materials, NewAge also manufactures braid reinforced hose made from silicone.

Called Silbrade it is translucent and handles a temperature range between -80F (-62C) and 350F (177C).

Silbrade is manufactured from FDA sanctioned ingredients and is extremely flexible - an important benefit for restricted space installations.
