Heated hose
Encyclopedia
Heated hoses are used in bonding technology , filling and dosing systems, medical technology
, chemical, pharmaceutical and food
industry, extruder applications, and research & development. The heated hoses are used wherever a liquid, viscous or melted medium has to be transported from one place to another, e.g. chocolate
, jelly
or hotmelt. In most applications, the temperature of the medium needs to remain constant at a specified value irrespective of variations in ambient temperature.
Heated hoses are suitable for environments from -40°C to 80°C and can be used in explosion-proof zones 1/21 and 2/22, if required..
A heated hose consists of a flexible hose, through which the media is pumped. This hose determines the resistance against temperature and chemicals. A heating element
is wrapped on the hose and then it is covered with insulation material. Possible insulation materials are Polyamid, steel wire, ore silicone
. The heating element
contains a heat sensor
. Fittings and fixtures can vary with the application.
Heated hose are generally specified by required inside diameter, working pressure , operating conditions, voltage, temperature sensor and hose fitting.
Heated hoses are now available for use around the home and farm. Commonly used on farms to get water to livestock in northern climates during the winter.
Medical technology
Medical Technology encompasses a wide range of healthcare products and is used to diagnose, monitor or treat diseases or medical conditions affecting humans. Such technologies are intended to improve the quality of healthcare delivered through earlier diagnosis, less invasive treatment options and...

Fruit preserves
Fruit preserves are preparations of fruits and sugar, often canned or sealed for long-term storage. The preparation of fruit preserves today often involves adding commercial or natural pectin as a gelling agent, although sugar or honey may be used, as well. Prior to World War II, fruit preserve...

Sensor
A sensor is a device that measures a physical quantity and converts it into a signal which can be read by an observer or by an instrument. For example, a mercury-in-glass thermometer converts the measured temperature into expansion and contraction of a liquid which can be read on a calibrated...
