SMOOTH COVER HYDRAULIC HOSES 

Smooth cover hydraulic hoses (smooth cover) – an alternative with a unique surface

What are smooth cover hydraulic hoses ? 

Smooth cover hydraulic hoses (smooth cover) are standard hydraulic hoses distinguished by a special, smooth outer coating. Their design and technical parameters are similar to traditional hydraulic hoses, but the outer layer differs from the typical textured surface. The smooth surface made of synthetic rubber makes cleaning easier, improves aesthetics, and provides additional protection against abrasion. Smooth cover hydraulic hoses are an excellent alternative to standard hoses in situations where ease of maintenance, resistance to external damage, and aesthetics are important. They offer all the advantages of traditional hydraulic hoses, but with additional benefits resulting from the smooth coating. At Hydron, you will find a wide selection of smooth cover hydraulic hoses in various diameters and lengths, ideal for a variety of applications. Check our offer and select the right hoses for your needs!

Application of smooth hoses

Smooth cover hydraulic hoses are used in many industries, especially where aesthetics and ease of cleanliness are important. They are found in, among others: Industrial machinery: Hydraulic systems in factories and production lines, Agricultural equipment: Tractors, harvesters, and other agricultural machinery, Construction machinery: Excavators, loaders, and cranes, Transport systems: Hydraulic devices in vehicles and heavy machinery, Cleaning equipment: High-pressure washing machines.

Advantages of smooth cover hydraulic hoses

• Smooth surface: Facilitates cleaning and prevents the accumulation of dirt, oils, or other contaminants.
• Abrasion resistance: The smooth cover provides better protection against mechanical damage.
• Flexibility and durability: Just like standard hydraulic hoses, they are resistant to high pressures and harsh operating conditions.
• Aesthetics: The smooth cover makes the hoses look more professional, which is important in some industrial applications.

Standards and construction of hoses with a smooth outer surface 

Smooth hoses comply with the same standards as traditional hydraulic hoses, e.g., EN 853 or EN 856, depending on the model. They consist of: An inner layer resistant to hydraulic oils, Reinforcement in the form of one or two steel braids, A smooth outer layer of synthetic rubber.

Smooth cover hoses 

Hydraulic hoses with a smooth outer surface ( smooth cover ) are another type of standard high-pressure hydraulic hoses. Standard hydraulic hoses are wrapped ( wrapped ) - the outer surface of the hose is covered with rubber, which is applied like a bandage on the hose.  In certain cases, using a smooth hose is simpler : During installation, if the hose routing area is narrow, then using a regular wrapped hose we may have some difficulties ( its wrapped outer part may get caught, it may not pass through the routing area with the same ease as a smooth hose ) A smooth hose works well where space is limited and where the hose routing area is narrow and access to it is significantly hindered. In some situations, a smooth hose will be better because it will not wear out as quickly as a standard one ( where we deal with increased friction of hoses against other elements ) Example application : forestry machinery, bucket lifts, etc. 

• easy installation of smooth hoses in hard-to-reach places 
• aesthetic appearance of hoses 
• competitive price 
• technical parameters identical to those of standard hydraulic hoses
