How to clean oxygen hose
Sandblast hoses are increasingly used in various industries, but improper use can easily lead to scratches, wear, or breaks. To extend the lifespan of your sandblast hose, Orientflex offers practical advice on storage and handling.
Key Tips for Storing Sandblast Hoses
Elevate the Hose During Storage
Never place the sandblasting hose directly on the ground. Instead, use pallets, racks, or other supports to lift it off the floor. This prevents contact with gravel, moisture, or sharp objects that can cause abrasion.
Avoid Contact with Hard Surfaces
Even high-quality sandblast hoses with durable materials can wear down when rubbed against hard objects. Keep the hose away from metal edges, concrete, or rough flooring during both storage and use.
Organize and Store Separately
Avoid random placement: Neatly coil or hang the hose to prevent tangling and friction.
Separate storage: Keep blasting hoses away from other equipment or materials to minimize contact and damage. This also streamlines inventory management for shipping or sales.
Maintain a Clean Storage Environment
Store the hose in a clean, dry area free of sharp objects like glass, nails, or metal shards. Regularly inspect the storage space to ensure no debris accumulates around the hose.
Proper Installation and Handling
Use correct techniques
Follow the manufacturer’s guidelines to avoid misalignment or excessive tension.
Handle with care
Avoid dragging the hose across hard surfaces during installation. If moving the hose is necessary, lift it rather than pulling it over the ground.
Check for obstructions
Ensure no hard objects are near the installation area to prevent accidental scratches or punctures.
