Utigoflex Polyurethane Duct Overview
Available Wall Thicknesses: 0.4 mm, 0.6 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm, 1.2 mm, and 1.5 mm.
Material Structure: High-quality polyurethane reinforced with copper-plated steel wire.
Key Advantages: Lightweight design, excellent flexibility, outstanding abrasion resistance, and high tear strength.
Typical Applications
Utigoflex PU air ducts are designed for suction and conveying of abrasive materials, including:
Dust and fine powders
Wood chips and granules
Oil mist and fuel residues
They are also widely used in ventilation systems and industrial vacuum equipment.
Proper Use of PU Air Ducts
To achieve reliable performance and ensure operational safety, Utigoflex recommends following these guidelines when using PU air ducts in daily applications.
Best Practice Guidelines
Routine Inspection
Inspect the duct on a regular basis for signs of damage such as cracking, deformation, swelling, or loss of flexibility. Any damaged ducting should be replaced immediately.
Operating Pressure Control
Always keep the working pressure within the specified limits. Exceeding the rated pressure may cause duct rupture or connection failure.
Protection Against Mechanical Damage
Avoid contact with sharp objects, excessive rubbing, and overly tight bending. Proper routing helps prevent punctures, abrasion, and premature wear.
Correct Installation Methods
Install the duct using suitable connectors and clamps. Make sure all joints are firmly secured to avoid air leakage and system inefficiency.
Static Electricity Safety
In flammable or explosive environments, anti-static PU ducts should be used to reduce the risk of sparks and fire hazards.
Resistance to UV and Ozone
For outdoor use or environments with high ozone exposure, UV-resistant or ozone-resistant PU ducts are recommended to prolong service life.
Storage Recommendations
Before installation, store the ducts in a dry, cool area, protected from direct sunlight and moisture.
