Dryer Hoses for SM 74-4

having trouble locating the size of the hoses used for the coater and dryer unit in the delivery portion of press. The problem i am having is that everyone here locally only have american sizes and the hoses are in metric. Please help.

 

call demers in florida 1800 956 3612 good luck spike

 

You may also look in McMaster Carr online catalog, they carry a fair amount of metric ducting hoses, if you don't see it in the catalog, you may also try calling them. I've gotten hoses from them numerous times.

 

Never had any luck with after market hoses. Yes they are cheaper but you will be replacing them after 1 year. Just my opinion

 

What's the difference if the country of origin is in Europe? Surely, HDM has never been in the hose manufacturing business.

 

Thanks guys. Unfortunately no one has it.. Any other ideas?

 

What's the I.D.? Spiral wire?

 

We have it...

Obviously Heidelberg does not make their own hoses, this is nothing new. That being said, the hoses that you get from Heidelberg are known to work. Yes, they will cost you more money but like anything else in life, you get what you pay for. If you can get the same hose from the same supplier Heidelberg uses, that we would be best. If not get them from Heidelberg. Using hoses only because they fit is not always the best idea. Hoses have many different applications. Not many can with stand heat or the volume of air required and will need replacement in short time.

 

It pains me to go back and forth on this matter, but for those wanting to save a significant percentage on parts expenses, in this case ducting hose, one has to be wise enough to understand that simply fitting the connection is not the only consideration. If it's wire reinforced, replace with like reinforcement. If it's in a dryer application or a central air cabinet, consider the need to buy replacement hose rated for 250 degrees or better. It's not rocket science.

 

You can order them directly to German supplier. You may get them in larger amount but much cheaper than Heidelberg.
Send me an email and I will provide you PDF catalog and list of hoses with desired diameter and lengths.

 

Please email me the catalog. That would be great. sales@apiprint.net. Thanks!
