HEXAGON & TETRAGON HOSE
SARO wear-resistant flexible hoses for pneumatic conveying
HEXAGON Hose and TETRAGON Hose are flexible anti-wear solutions developed by SARO for the pneumatic conveying of highly abrasive materials, both in pressure and suction lines. These systems combine the flexibility of rubber hoses with the high wear resistance of SARCER ceramic, delivering high performance even in the most severe operating conditions. In the pneumatic conveying of bulk and powdery materials, flexible hoses are among the points most exposed to erosion and abrasion, especially in the presence of:
- high conveying speeds
- changes of direction
- vibrations and dynamic movements
- highly aggressive and abrasive materials
The HEXAGON & TETRAGON Hose solutions are designed to ensure:
- high erosion resistance
- long service life
- reduced maintenance
- continuous operation
- installation flexibility even in complex geometries
Applications include in particular the pneumatic conveying of:
- dry cement
- pulverised coal
- ash and industrial powders
- solid recovered fuels (SRF/RDF)
- abrasive mineral materials
- products from waste/material recovery processes
These systems are used in:
- cement plants
- steelworks
- waste-to-energy plants
- quarries and mining plants
- waste/material recovery and treatment plants
- energy and process industries
HEXAGON & TETRAGON HOSE provide the following product characteristics:

HEXAGON Hose
HEXAGON Hose is the high-performance standard solution developed by SARO for the pneumatic conveying of highly abrasive materials.
The structure combines:
- the flexibility of technical rubber
- a wear-resistant inner lining in SARCER ceramic
- high resistance to continuous erosion and abrasion
HEXAGON Hose is designed for:
- significantly reduce maintenance problems
- extend the service life of pneumatic lines
- ensure operating continuity even in severe conditions
