Hose pump elements

APEX EPDM hose

Overview

APEX EPDM hose elements

The hose element is critical to ensure pump performance, durability and efficiency. Bredel APEX composite reinforced machined hoses are constructed from high-quality compounded rubbers reinforced with several individual layers of braided nylon, and finished by high-precision machining. Inner and outer layers are extruded and, after construction, machined to ensure critical tolerances are maintained.

APEX EPDM is currently available for the APEX 10, 15, 20 and 35 pumps. Excellent chemical resistance, especially to ketones, alcohols and concentrated acids.

Perfect 100 % compression eliminates slippage which can destroy shear sensitive product and reduce metering accuracy.

Examples of compatible media:

  • Sodium Hypochlorite/Bisulphate
  • Ferric Chloride
  • Hydrochloric Acid
