With excellent flexibility and kink-free design requiring less force to bend than competitor smooth bore products, FaBLINETM offers a versatile hose solution throughout production processes. FaBLINE hoses carry up to twice the flow of similar-sized convoluted delivery hoses, providing a faster, more efficient processing solution. For applications where hoses are tasked to dispense highly viscous media in precise quantities, traditional rubber hoses can block or burst. FaBLINE’s low friction, smooth bore construction will minimise back-pressure to avoid downtime and material losses.
