Production

Cavmac production begins with choosing the correct components to build the hose. All our materials are internationally sourced from ISO 9001 accredited suppliers. Lining compounds include synthetic and natural rubbers varying in thickness and hardness with appropriate resistance to abrasion, oils, chemicals, heat, food quality according to application.
Reinforcement materials provide resistance to pressure and tensile loading. These consist of multiple plies of high tensile polyester, nylon or aramid fibres and high tensile steel wire helix for suction, or steel rings to prevent kinking or collapse.
Covers are chosen according to application, International standards or specific customer requirement with qualities such as abrasion, weather, oil and chemical resistance and can be smooth or corrugated finish and coated or coloured.
