GUELPH, ON – Diversified industrial manufacturer Eaton Corp. has formed the Eaton Industrial Hose Unit to enhance its presence in the industrial rubber and thermoplastic hose markets. The business unit sells both direct to OEMs and through distribution.
According to Geoff Pantling, market development manager of Eaton Industrial Hose, the product offering are “exceedingly broad and fall into a number industries such as beverage, small engine, irrigation and recreational products.
“We have unique technology to do this.” The technology is a proprietary, continuous, multilayer, co-extrusion process that offers barrier properties which provide chemical resistance. | |
As many as three materials can be incorporated into one process.
The equipment in the Guelph plant is quite mobile, allowing for a lot of short runs in the neighborhood of four hours to complete, Pantling explained. “This flexibility allows us to move quickly, attract orders and provide a fast turnaround – typically two to three weeks or less.”
Quotes can be produced in 24 to 36 hours, including design and production costs. Eaton can work from a customer design or create a new design, depending on project requirements, and provide prototypes for testing.
Thermoplastics processed at the plant are from recycled stream materials for many of its products, while production scrap is also recycled so that less than 2% becomes landfill waste.
“Industrial hose has been part of Eaton’s fluid conveyance product line for many years,” said Eaton vice president of Fluid Conveyance Jeff Finch, “but our customers want a more focused approach and we have responded with the creation of the Industrial Hose Unit.
“Industrial hose customers have different expectations than hydraulic hose customers,” Finch said. “While hydraulic hose and accessories tend to be ordered for stock, by specific part numbers, industrial hose tends to be ordered by need and by specific application or size. This requires a different kind of operator on our end to make sure customers get what they need.”
