Methods to clean a flexible rubber hose
Regular inspection
Check the hydraulic hose regularly for signs of wear, cracks, swelling or other damage. Check the joints for looseness or leakage. If there was any abnormal situations, change a new hose assembly.
Cleaning and maintenance
Clean the dirt and grease on the surface of the hose and keep it clean. Avoid using corrosive cleaning agents to avoid damaging the hose material.
Replacement cycle
Even if there is no obvious damage, the hose should be replaced according to the manufacturer’s recommended cycle. Especially in critical applications, you have to replace aging or damaged hoses in a timely manner.
Record management
Record each inspection and replacement to track the status and history of the hose. Records can also help identify potential problem patterns so that preventive measures can be taken.
Professional training
Ensure that the personnel responsible for installing and maintaining the hose receive appropriate professional training. Understand the correct handling methods and emergency disposal procedures for the hose.
Following these installation and maintenance guidelines can help you ensure the safety and reliability of hydraulic hoses while extending their service life. If you encounter complex situations or are unsure how to deal with them, you’d better consult a professional technician or contact the hose supplier.
