Hitma and Aflex Hose join forces with high-quality hose assemblies for the (bio)pharmaceutical market

We are proud to announce our partnership with Aflex Hose, the global leader in high-quality, flexible PTFE hoses. This partnership makes Hitma the official distributor of Aflex Hose's advanced technology in the Benelux region. This partnership aligns perfectly with our mission to support customers in improving both the safety and efficiency of their critical processes.

Unique PTFE liner improves safety and efficiency

Thanks to the patented design of Aflex Hose's PTFE liner, we can now even better support customers in improving their safety and efficiency. This innovative technology ensures that the hose maintains a smooth, round inner wall along its entire length, without deformation. Our specialists can help you choose or create the perfect solution for your specific process.

Benefits of Aflex hose assemblies

Aflex hoses are lined with polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), offering excellent chemical resistance. This structure creates a smooth inner wall, ensuring clean and fast operation and resistance to high pressures and temperatures. The unique PTFE lining used in Aflex hoses results in:

• Highly flexible and kink-resistant hoses
• Minimal turbulence, which means a fast flow
• Hoses available with a natural or antistatic patented PTFE liner
• Eliminated risk of contamination as no glue is used in production

An important step

Hitma Sales Manager Rob Mijnsbergen sees the partnership with Aflex as an important step: "While we were already able to supply silicone hoses, this partnership allows us to also supply top-quality PTFE hoses. This allows us to offer complete solutions for processes involving aggressive chemicals, high temperatures, repeated CIP/SIP processes, and applications requiring very low permeation. The technology aligns seamlessly with our mission to provide customers with high-quality and reliable solutions."“
