Wear on hydraulic hoses.

[Woodworks]

I had a hose go on our processor. On inspection it had been rubbing against another hose and had worn right through. I have now looked closely at all the hoses and there are several areas that are getting damaged where they pass other pipes or the body of the processor.

 

What are the ways to deal with this? I have started by cable tying some of the hoses together but I need some sort of abrasion resistant tape or standoff brackets for the other areas.

 

Thanks in advance.

Ask your hose maker to sleeve anything that rubs, you can do it yourself with "spiraguard" or similar, or you can split some regular single wall pipe and use that to make a sleeve.

Did ask the chap making up the new hose about a protective sleeve. He found some water pipe conduit so slid that on before clamping on the ends. Didn't look very Pro but might help. Don't appear to have any hydraulic experts near by just folk that can knock up a new pipe. I will looks out for some spiragaurd.

Have you tried interfluid in gunnislake, they know their hydraulics. I'll be interested what solution you use as I have the same problem with my post knocker.

I use the black electrical conduit pipe over the hydraulic pipes in areas of wear.

get a proper hydraulic hose firm in i use Hydroscand excellent firm highly recommend them we had a hose on digger go and it goes under body of digger put a new hose in but were it comes out he fitted a joiner so if it went again just have to have a short section replaced. he also fitted spiral-guards over hoses to protect them. since he has done it nearly a year still as good as new and has not rubbed.

have used other firms and not a patch on this company very professional and good prices.:thumbup:

Do you leave the conduit loose on the pipe or fix it on some how? I like the idea of conduit as I have 20m roll of it in the shed and I am tight git

Depends how much rubbing is going on, if it's constant then any heavy plastic will do, or get a longer hose and keep it out the way. Use what you have. Google the right stuff and then copy with junk lying around your yard
