Custom Bend-Resistant Corrugated Hose for Floor Scrubbers in a Large Logistics Warehouse

Customer Type:

A large e-commerce logistics warehouse (100,000 daily cargo throughput, 12-hour daily floor scrubber operation, frequent hose bending/turning)

Customization Demand: 

Adapt to the water/sewage conveying system of medium-sized floor scrubbers; the original corrugated hose was prone to cracking and water leakage under frequent bending (200+ bends per day), requiring replacement every 2 months on average; additionally, the hose inner diameter was prone to dust accumulation and clogging, affecting water flow/sewage discharge efficiency; require bending resistance ≥100,000 times, service life extended to over 8 months, and inner wall dust-resistant and easy to clean

Solution:

Material Upgrade: Adopt a three-layer composite structure of food-grade PVC inner layer + nylon fiber reinforcement layer + wear-resistant TPE outer layer; the inner layer is smooth and dust-resistant, the middle layer enhances tensile resistance, and the outer layer is wear-resistant and UV-resistant

Structural Optimization: Corrugation spacing adjusted from 5mm to 3mm to increase bending flexibility; the hose connector adopts a 360° rotating design to reduce bending stress; a hydrophobic coating is added to the inner wall, increasing water/sewage flow speed by 15%

Process Improvement: The hose and connector adopt an integrated injection molding process to avoid water leakage risks; wear-resistant stripes are added to the tube body to extend the outer layer’s service life
