Smooth VS Wrapped Hydraulic Hose Surface

Here are two different surfaces for hydraulic hose, so let's dive into the smooth vs wrapped hydraulic hose surface. And you will see the hydraulic hose surface from first sight, to look at the hydraulic hose cover appearance. The hydraulic hose cover can be designed into different textures, including smooth surface and wrapped surface, during the hydraulic hose vulcanizing process.

Here are two different surfaces for hydraulic hose, so let’s dive into the smooth vs wrapped hydraulic hose surface.

And you will see the hydraulic hose surface from first sight, to look at the hydraulic hose cover appearance.

The hydraulic hose cover can be designed into different textures, including smooth surface and wrapped surface, during the hydraulic hose vulcanizing process.

This short video can show you the hydraulic hose vulcanizing.

Smooth Hydraulic Hose

For the smooth hydraulic hose cover, a plastic sheath is textured around the hydraulic hose, and the plastic sheath is used to press the hydraulic hose cover during the curing process, but not leave any visible vestiges. In this method, we get the smooth surface of the hydraulic hose. The hydraulic ventilation with smooth bore works for you to get the smooth hydraulic hose surface.

We use plastic-coated materials to create a smooth cover for the hydraulic hose, and the plastic-coated material can give better abrasion performance to the hydraulic hose body.

Wrapped Hydraulic Hose

The wrapped hydraulic hose, also spiral wrapped hydraulic hose, cover consists of nylon fabric strips, that can wrap the hydraulic hose before the curing process. We use the water press to extrude the hydraulic hose cover during the curing process and apply much pressure to the hydraulic hose cover to leave the spiral grain texture. The textile weave spiral and circumferential ridges will be pressed on the surface of the hydraulic hose cover where the nylon strips overlap if you remove the nylon water press after the curing process.

We the water press cloth to create the wrapped hydraulic hose, with less abrasion performance.

China Wrapped Cover Hydraulic Hose

China-wrapped cover hydraulic hose is a specific type of hydraulic hose that is widely used in various industries due to its durability and resistance to abrasion, oil, and other harsh environments. The key feature of this hose is its outer cover, which is made from a woven fabric that is tightly wrapped around the hose body.

Components and Construction

A typical China-wrapped cover hydraulic hose consists of:

  • Inner tube: This is the core of the hose, made from a rubber compound that is resistant to the hydraulic fluids being conveyed.
  • Reinforcement layer: This layer is made from steel wire or synthetic fibers, providing the hose with the necessary strength to withstand high pressures.
  • Outer cover: This is the protective layer made from a woven fabric, typically cotton, polyester, or nylon. The fabric is wrapped around the hose body and secured with wire or adhesive.

Advantages of China Wrapped Cover Hydraulic Hose

  • Abrasion resistance: The woven fabric outer cover provides excellent resistance to abrasion, making it ideal for applications where the hose may come into contact with rough surfaces or abrasive materials.
  • Oil resistance: The fabric is treated to be resistant to oils and other hydraulic fluids, ensuring the hose’s longevity in demanding environments.
  • Weather resistance: The outer cover is typically UV-resistant and can withstand harsh weather conditions, including extreme temperatures and moisture.
  • Flexibility: China-wrapped cover hoses are generally flexible, allowing for easy installation and routing in confined spaces.

Applications

China wrapped cover hydraulic hoses are commonly used in:

  • Construction equipment: Excavators, bulldozers, cranes, and other heavy machinery.
  • Mining equipment: Drilling rigs, loaders, and haulers.
  • Industrial machinery: Presses, lathes, and other industrial equipment.
  • Agricultural equipment: Tractors, combines, and other farm machinery.

Choosing the Right China Wrapped Cover Hydraulic Hose

When selecting a China wrapped cover hydraulic hose, it is essential to consider the following factors:

  • Working pressure: Ensure the hose can handle the maximum pressure of the hydraulic system.
  • Temperature range: Choose a hose that can withstand the expected operating temperatures.
  • Fluid compatibility: Verify that the hose is compatible with the specific hydraulic fluid being used.
  • Hose length and diameter: Select the appropriate length and diameter to meet the application’s requirements.

By carefully considering these factors, you can choose the most suitable China-wrapped cover hydraulic hose for your specific needs.

Smooth VS Wrapped Hydraulic Hose Surface

Here, the surface of the hydraulic hose can be designed with these two types during the hydraulic hose manufacturing process, smooth vs wrapped hydraulic hose surface.

You can see the visible difference between the smooth hydraulic hose and the wrapped hydraulic hose from the surface appearance. What causes the differences? Resulting from the hydraulic hose curing methods during the hydraulic hose production in the workshop.

It’s also hard to say which one is better, and the quality is determined by the raw material, synthetic rubber, for making hydraulic hoses. You can choose your desired surface for manufacturing the hydraulic hose to be assembled in your hydraulic system.

But the materials used in hydraulic hose vulcanizing are different, plastic-coated material for a smooth surface, and water press for a wrapped surface, so a smooth surface hydraulic hose is much more expensive than a wrapped hydraulic hose.

What’s more, a smooth hydraulic hose has better abrasive resistance due to the vulcanizing material, in addition to these, no other differences are comparing these two hydraulic hose surfaces.

It’s flexible for you to select your favorite hydraulic hose, based on the specifications, and functions of the hydraulic hose, and the cover material, totally made of synthetic rubber, itself can determine the hose abrasion resistance. The surface is not the key to the hydraulic hose quality.
