Natural rubber hose for general fluid transfer duties at pressures up to 12bar 

Bredel hose pumps has expanded its range of hoses by releasing the new and versatile Bredel NR Transfer hose for general fluid transfer applications at pressures up to 12bar (174psi). The Bredel NR (Natural Rubber) Transfer hose can be used for handling sludge with a high solid content, food and beverage waste and abrasive slurries. This solution complements the Bredel NR Metering hose, which is designed for heavier duties with pressure capability up to 16bar (232psi), already available from Bredel hose pumps.

Bredel, which is part of Watson-Marlow Fluid Technology Solutions (WMFTS), is now the only manufacturer to offer optimised NR hose properties for different customer needs, be it metering, transfer, low, medium or heavy duty. The abrasion-resistant Bredel NR Transfer hose is engineered so it lasts longer than competitor hoses and optimises the performance of a peristaltic pump in applications in: water and wastewater treatment; construction; ceramics; pulp and paper; power generation (biogas, biomass); and food and beverage.

With the release of the NR Transfer hose, Bredel is responding to its customers’ needs for a hose to transfer any fluids. The Bredel NR Transfer hose is suitable for water-based liquids, diluted acids and alcohols, lightly corrosive chemicals, and slurries. Bredel customers can now rely on a single source — WMFTS — for all applications. 

Benefits and features of the Bredel NR Transfer hose include:

Engineered for exceptional long life in fluid transfer applications

Pressure capability: 12 bar (174psi)

Maximum suction lift: 9 m (30ft)

Maximum fluid temperature: 80°C (176°F); Minimum fluid temperature: -20°C (-4°F)

The hose element is critical to ensure pump performance, durability and efficiency. Composite reinforced transfer hoses are constructed from high-quality compounded rubbers reinforced with four individual layers of braided nylon.
