Hose Customization Capabilities

Salem-Republic Rubber manufactures Pulp & Paper Mill hose in almost limitless variations based on customer-specific needs.

Custom Lengths

We can produce heavy-wall hose and high-flexibility tubes up to 50 feet in length, with custom-engineered diameters to match existing process pipe I.D.’s or O.D.’s up to 42 inches.

Custom Tube Linings

Based on the types of materials that you will transfer via the hose, Salem-Republic will help you determine the best use of natural and synthetic rubber including quality custom blends.

Custom Wall Thickness

Internal tube and supporting carcass wall thickness is determined based on the nature of specific compounds being handled, total hose diameter, and your service conditions.

Reinforcement Options

Whether allowing for bends and turns in your process lines, or reinforced to prevent kinking, multi-ply synthetic fabrics and helically wound steel assure maximum tensile strength and ability to withstand movement and vibration.

Custom Cover

From wear-resistance to chemical resistance, your hose will be manufactured to meet your specific operating situation. If required for simple visual identification, hose can be provided with color-coded exterior.
