An air seeder hose built for Australian agriculture
The EXITFLEX® EF653 Aquaseed Suction & Delivery Hose delivers a robust and flexible solution for Australian farmers, addressing key challenges in durability and routing for air seeder machines.
In the agricultural industry, air seeder machines demand reliable hoses capable of withstanding abrasive materials, extreme environmental conditions and tight installation requirements. Enter the EXITFLEX® EF653 Aquaseed Suction & Delivery Hose – a product engineered to meet these challenges head-on.
Designed for the primary lines of air seeder systems, the EF653 hose boasts a premium rubber construction, offering exceptional abrasion resistance and durability. Its natural rubber inner tube features a shot-blast finish, providing added resilience during the transfer of seeds, light slurries and water. The high-tensile textile cord with a wire helix reinforcement ensures stability without compromising flexibility.
Flexibility for tight bends
One standout feature of the EF653 hose is its corrugated cover. Unlike traditional smooth-cover hoses, which can be difficult to route in confined spaces, the corrugated design enables a tighter bend radius, making it easier to fit and route within air seeder systems. “The corrugated cover mitigates routing challenges by allowing the hose to flex with minimal force,” says Matthew Pembroke, National Sales Manager – Industrial, at Powell Industrial.
Built for Australian Conditions Australia’s harsh agricultural environments, compounded by a thin ozone layer, often lead to premature cracking in standard hoses. The EF653 hose’s weather-resistant cover minimises the risk of cracking, delivering a longer life cycle and reducing replacement costs and downtime.
Performance that lasts
The EF653 hose not only increases productivity through reduced downtime but also provides a 3:1 safety factor for added operational confidence. With its ability to handle temperatures ranging from -20°C to 80°C, this hose is built to keep up with the demands of modern farming.
