Design & Manufacture of "X-Treme" Patented Expandable Hoses

Demonstrating that opportunity exists even during adverse economic conditions, Amflex' custom designed and manufactured "X-Treme" patented expandable hose, has proven to be one of its most successful product developments. 

The manufacturing of the hose' inner diameter of 2.0", with an outer diameter of 2.48" were inspected during the winding process to ensure their range is within ±.005" tolerances. The process is finished by applying the specific ends that meet customer' needs. The end result of this manufacturing process, is a high-quality, durable hose with an outstanding lifetime service.

As oil prices hit $140/barrel in 2008, polyethylene prices and transportation costs for commodities skyrocketed, forcing us to take a long, hard look at our operation system. The Dust Collection hose, light, inexpensive, and traditionally one of the most popular products, was becoming more expensive to produce due to these increases in costs. Price increases were out of the question due to the economic downturn, and phasing out the product line was not an option to be considered. Amflex' product development team put on their design and thinking caps on to create the X-Treme Vac Hose.
