What does it mean for lead time and availability that Flexcited is SCHIEMA's own brand?

A Flexcited hose is the logical choice when you are looking for a hose developed from practical experience in industrial applications. For the hoses in its own line, SCHIEMA has carefully considered the specifications, such as why a hose has a particular working pressure, and therefore recommends these hoses first.

A good example is the NARCORFLEX® IBSH (Industrial Bulk Service Hose), which evolved into today's NARCORFLEX® ABRADURA. The aim was to combine two hoses, a flexible working hose and a transfer hose, into a single rubber hose that is lightweight, flexible and wear-resistant. Thanks to the construction of the helix and plies, the hose stays round and smooth inside even in a bend, so abrasive media do not wear through the lining. This makes the hose far more durable in applications such as industrial cleaning.

The principle behind the line: a hose is not just a hose. The right construction for your application determines how long a hose will last.

SCHIEMA is the sole supplier of Flexcited hoses. Whether a Flexcited hose is supplied through a distributor or directly to the end user, its origin can always be traced back to SCHIEMA.

Every hose can be recognised by the FLEXCITED® marking, followed by the construction line and product name, such as FLEXCITED® FLOWINTUBE® VAPORTOR. Rubber hoses also carry an embossing: a relief print in the rubber that remains visible even when a printed marking has worn off. It includes the name of the hose, the size and the manufacturing code, which shows the quarter and year in which the hose was produced. This makes the origin of every Flexcited hose traceable.

Flexcited hoses are available for a wide range of industrial applications, including:

• abrasion and wear-resistant applications
• extraction
• chemicals
• gas
• hydraulics
• foodstuffs
• compressed air and breathing air
• oil and fuels
• steam
• special applications

Examples include the NARCORFLEX® ABRADURA for abrasive media, the FLOWINFLEX® MULTIRESCORE for chemicals, the FLOWINTUBE® VAPORTOR for high-pressure steam and the FLOWINTUBE® BAHAS breathing air hose. SCHIEMA recommends a Flexcited hose when its specifications match your application. If a hose from another brand is a better fit, SCHIEMA supplies that as well. View all hoses.
