The new Elesa FH Modular Coolant Hose system is said to be proving a popular solution in metal cutting and machining applications, and for lubricating large compressors and other equipment in the oil and gas industries. This new system uses snap assembly of the single elements which allows adjustment of the lubricating jet with maximum flexibility, says Elesa, whilst maintaining stability in operation even in the presence of equipment vibration.
The Elesa system delivers coolant to cutting heads or anywhere that a splash coolant application is appropriate. The modular snap-fit segmental design provides an adjustable friction fit, which allows the hose to hold a set position and enables easy length and angular adjustment, with the benefit of multiple nozzle types. The addition of an adjustable flow valve accessory facilitates variation of the flow and spread of fluid to suit variable sizes of workpiece, using a maximum input pressure of 4bar.
Elesa FH.1/4 coolant hose is offered as a standard kit of parts to suit most typical installations, comprising 20 segments made from blue acetal-based technopolymer (POM), with two FHJ threaded fittings in orange, plus four FHN nozzles also in orange. The kit is supplemented by the availability of a variety of accessories including extra tube sections, spare threaded fittings, additional nozzles, three diameters of jet and two configurations of fan outlet. In addition, adjustable flow valve and magnetic stands are also available for easy placement and adjustability. Tubing sections have industry standard ¼ in - 6mm internal diameter with nozzles in orange colour for safety visibility. A comparable set of ½ in - 12mm ID is available, as is (by special request) a system with tubes having a diameter of 3/4" - 18mm ID. Acetal-based technopolymer (POM) is resistant to detergents, lubricants and oils. Special tubes, fittings and nozzles are also available on request, which are made from raw materials suitable for contact with food (FDA CFR.21 and EU 10/2011).
