Marking snakes

It is easy to imagine that in industrial environments, it is very important to know what each industrial hose is used for. This is not only essential for the efficiency of processes, but naturally also for the safety of employees and the protection of machines and products. We at SCHIEMA therefore consider clear hose identification to be very important.

Why are hose markings important?

Effectively using hose markings has several advantages. The most significant benefits of hose markings are:

Easy identification

When you know what each marking stands for, it is easy to identify the purpose of the hose. This not only reduces the number of errors made by, for example, connecting the wrong hose, but also saves you a lot of time figuring out which hose serves what purpose.

Ease of maintenance

Easily identifying hoses also saves you a lot of time and effort when they need to be replaced, inspected, or maintained, for example. It also allows you to better keep track of when the hose was installed and when it was last inspected or maintained. This not only saves time but also prevents errors in the planning thereof, which in turn contributes to the safety of the hoses.

Compliance with safety regulations

In many industries, there are strict rules regarding industrial processes. Applying markings to your hoses will help you comply with these rules.

Safety and lifespan

Using the right hoses for the right applications is very important. For example, it is very dangerous to transport harmful liquids through hoses that are not suitable for this purpose. Hoses can sustain damage as a result, with all the associated safety risks for employees. In addition to the creation of dangerous situations, damaged hoses are, of course, never pleasant. By using markings, you are less likely to use the wrong hose for the wrong application, which extends the average lifespan.
