TPU Flexible Hose Production Line

TPU Flexible Hose Production Line Overview

Winsoar's TPU flexible hose production line is designed for continuous extrusion of thermoplastic polyurethane tubing and flexible hose. The line coordinates material feeding, plasticizing extrusion, hose forming, vacuum sizing and cooling, stable haul-off and finished-hose winding. The equipment is selected around the hose drawing, diameter, wall thickness, TPU grade, hardness, target output and winding requirement.

Direct answer: A TPU hose extrusion line normally includes a TPU-compatible extruder, extrusion mould, vacuum cooling tank, haul-off machine and winding machine. The final configuration must be confirmed from the hose specification because diameter, wall thickness, hardness, pressure requirement and coil length affect tooling, cooling and traction.

Typical TPU hose applications

• Pneumatic air lines for compressors, cylinders, valves and factory automation.
• Air-tool connection tubing and flexible lines used around production equipment.
• Instrumentation and control tubing where clean routing and flexibility are important.
• Industrial water, oil and fluid transfer where the selected TPU grade is chemically suitable.
• Protective sleeves and abrasion-resistant covers for cables, wires and moving components.
• Robotics, pick-and-place equipment and moving assemblies where repeated bending may occur.

Application suitability must be confirmed against pressure, temperature, chemical exposure, food or medical requirements, UV exposure, reinforcement, hardness and applicable standards. The line should be configured for the actual TPU hose specification rather than a general-purpose assumption.

How the production process works

1. TPU raw material is prepared and fed according to the selected formulation and moisture-control requirements.
2. The extruder plasticizes and conveys the polymer at a controlled temperature and pressure.
3. The extrusion mould forms the required tube diameter, wall thickness and surface profile.
4. The vacuum cooling tank stabilizes the hot tube and supports dimensional control.
5. The haul-off machine maintains synchronized traction and line speed.
6. The winding machine collects the finished TPU hose into an organized coil or roll.

TPU Hose Extrusion Video and Technical Parameters

The following video shows a TPU flexible hose production line running in the workshop. Buyers can review the extrusion, moulding, vacuum cooling, haul-off and winding process before confirming the hose specification and line layout.

Technical parameters to confirm

Output depends on hose diameter, wall thickness, TPU material, screw design, extrusion temperature, cooling capacity, line speed and the required dimensional tolerance. A reliable estimate requires the product specification.

TPU Hose Extrusion Machine Configuration

TPU-compatible extruder

The extruder is the core of the TPU hose production line. Its screw, barrel, heating and cooling zones are selected for the TPU grade, hardness, hose diameter, wall thickness and target output. Stable plasticizing and melt pressure help the extrusion mould receive a consistent TPU melt, which supports dimensional control and surface quality.

Before quotation, confirm the TPU material form, moisture-control process, expected output, hose size range and power standard. These details determine the suitable extruder specification and screw design.

Precision extrusion mould

The mould determines the tube diameter, wall thickness and surface profile. A suitable mould design supports balanced material flow and should be confirmed from the product drawing or sample. Different hose sizes or structures may require tooling changes.

Vacuum cooling tank

The vacuum cooling tank supports sizing and cooling after the tube leaves the mould. Vacuum stability, water circulation, tank length and alignment affect roundness, wall-thickness consistency and surface quality.

Stable haul-off

The haul-off synchronizes traction with extrusion output. Correct roller contact, pressure and speed help prevent stretching, ovality or surface marks while sending the tube smoothly to the winding section.

Organized winding

The winding machine collects the finished hose into a consistent coil or roll. Winding tension, coil diameter, length measurement and changeover method should be selected according to the hose size, customer packaging and downstream handling requirements.

Factory, Packaging, Delivery and Exhibition Support

Winsoar supports TPU flexible hose extrusion projects from hose drawing review and machine configuration to workshop assembly, export packaging, container loading and customer communication. This section helps buyers evaluate supplier capability beyond a single machine photo.

Factory Workshop for TPU Hose Extrusion Lines

The TPU hose extrusion line is assembled and checked in the workshop. Line length, auxiliary equipment, cooling utilities and operator access are reviewed before shipment.

• Extrusion machine assembly and inspection
• Line layout checking before delivery
• Configuration matched to TPU hose requirements

Machine Assembly and Quality Checking

The extruder, electrical control cabinet, mould-related equipment and downstream sections are checked during assembly to reduce installation risk after the line arrives at the buyer's factory.

• Mechanical assembly inspection
• Electrical cabinet and control checking
• Spare parts and auxiliary equipment preparation

Export Packaging for Overseas Delivery

Protective packaging is prepared according to machine size, transport distance and unloading conditions. The machine body, moulds, control cabinet and spare parts are packed according to the delivery plan.

• Protection for the machine body
• Wooden cases for moulds and spare parts
• Packaging plan matched with overseas shipment

Container Loading and Shipment Support

Container loading is arranged after packaging so the TPU hose line sections, moulds and spare parts can be shipped in a practical sequence. This helps buyers confirm delivery preparation before the line leaves the factory.

• Container loading plan for overseas delivery
• Machine protection during transportation
• Shipment coordination for complete TPU hose line

Exhibition Communication and Sample Review

At exhibitions, Winsoar discusses hose drawings, TPU grades, hardness, output targets, coil requirements and factory layouts with customers before quotation.

• Plastic extrusion machine booth and project communication
• Product sample and application discussion
• Project data confirmation before proposal

Frequently Asked Questions

What is TPU flexible hose used for?

TPU flexible hose is commonly used for pneumatic air, air tools, automation and instrumentation tubing, industrial fluid transfer, protective sleeves, moving machinery connections and material-handling projects. Suitability depends on the selected TPU formulation and service conditions.

Can the line produce different TPU hose sizes?

Yes, different sizes normally require the corresponding extrusion mould and sizing setup. The extruder, cooling tank, haul-off and winding system must also be checked against the full diameter and wall-thickness range.

What makes TPU hose attractive to buyers?

TPU hose can offer a useful combination of flexibility, light weight, abrasion resistance and easy handling. Actual product performance depends on the TPU grade, hardness, wall design, reinforcement and application conditions.

How is the output determined?

Output depends on hose diameter, wall thickness, TPU material, screw design, extrusion temperature, cooling capacity, line speed and the required dimensional tolerance. A reliable estimate requires the product specification.

What information is needed before ordering?

Send the hose drawing or sample, diameter, wall thickness, TPU grade and hardness, pressure and temperature requirements, target output, coil length, power standard and workshop dimensions.
