Industrial hose failures are rarely random. When you’re replacing the same assembly every few months, something about the application isn’t right.
Wrong hose for the media. Cover that can’t handle the abrasion. Routing that creates constant stress at the fitting. Temperature range the hose wasn’t designed for. These aren’t bad luck — they’re fixable problems with a known cause.
Match the Hose to the Application
Continental ContiTech industrial hose covers the full range of process applications: air, bulk transfer, water, chemical handling, steam with constructions engineered to the demands of each environment.
Abrasion-Resistant Options — For aggregate service, slurry transfer, and applications where cover wear is the primary failure mode. Continental ContiTech abrasion-resistant covers are built to take the abuse your standard hose can’t.
Chemical & Media-Compatible Constructions — Using the wrong hose in a chemical environment degrades the cover from the inside out. Continental ContiTech application-specific hose is matched to your media so you get the service life you expect.
Temperature-Rated for Your Process — Steam lines, hot water transfer, and high-temp process environments require hose that’s rated for actual operating conditions, not just ambient. Getting this right is the difference between a hose that lasts and one that doesn’t.
Fittings and Assembly: Done Right the First Time
Binkelman pairs Continental ContiTech hose with Dixon, PT Coupling, and Campbell fittings — properly selected for your application and crimped to manufacturer specifications.
If you’re running banded assemblies in critical service, it’s worth looking at them. Crimped assemblies provide consistent, repeatable terminations that hold under pressure and vibration. Banding doesn’t.
Services That Go Beyond the Assembly
We offer hose tagging and tracking systems to help maintenance teams manage inspection intervals and catch aging assemblies before they fail in production. When a failure does happen, failure analysis identifies the root cause — so you’re not just replacing it, you’re fixing it.
If your facility has recurring industrial hose problems in specific locations, a plant hose audit is worth the time. Binkelman’s team assesses routing, specs, and assembly quality on-site and comes back with a clear picture of where to focus.
Industries We Support
Chemical processing, glass manufacturing, aggregate, steel, automotive, and general industrial. If you run process hose in a demanding environment, we’ve worked through problems like yours before.
