Hitma and Aflex team up to bring innovative hose assemblies to the (bio)pharmaceutical market
We are proud to announce our partnership with Aflex, the world leader in high-quality, flexible FTPE hoses. This partnership makes Hitma the official distributor of Aflex's advanced technology in the Benelux region. This partnership aligns perfectly with our commitment to supporting customers in improving both the safety and efficiency of their critical processes.
Unique PTFE liner improves safety and efficiency
Because of Aflex's patented design of the PTFE liner, we are now able to further support clients in improving their safety and efficiency. This innovative technology helps to retain a smooth circular bore throughout the hose, without distortion. Our specialists can help you choose or create the perfect solution for your specific process.
Advantages of using Aflex hose assemblies
Lined with polytetrafluorethylene (PTFE), Aflex hoses offer excellent chemical resistance. Their structure provides a smooth bore to ensure clean, fast performance, resistant to high pressures and temperatures. The unique PTFE liner used in Aflex hoses results in:
- Highly flexible and kink-resistant hoses
- Minimal turbulence, meaning a faster flow rate
- Hoses available with either natural or anti-static patented PTFE liner
- Eliminated risk of contamination because no adhesives are used in manufacture
An important step
Sales manager Rob Mijnsbergen of Hitma sees the collaboration with Aflex as an important step: "Where we were already able to supply silicone tubing, this partnership allows us to also supply the highest quality PTFE hoses. This allows us to supply total solutions for processes with aggressive chemicals or solvents, high-temperature, repeated CIP/SIP processes and in applications needing very low permeation. The technology fits seamlessly with our mission to provide customers with high-quality and reliable solutions."
