Voltbuster
VLT-SD™ Series
Heavy-Duty Food Grade, Static Dissipative Polyurethane, Fabric Reinforced Material Handling Hose
GENERAL APPLICATIONS
- Bulk truck and railcar unloading
- Food grade material handling – heavy duty abrasive
- Milling machine scrap recovery
- Plastic processing equipment
- Pneumatic conveying equipment
- Suction and discharge
CONSTRUCTION
Static dissipative polyurethane tube, polyester fabric reinforcement, rigid helix and grounding wire (patent pending)
SERVICE TEMPERATURE RANGE
-4°F (-20°C) to +150°F (+65°C)*
*Actual service temperature range is application dependent.
FEATURES AND ADVANTAGES
- Superior Static Protection! – A properly grounded Voltbuster™ hose will not retain an electrostatic charge sufficient to create a propagating brush discharge. Hose material, using the embedded grounding wire, shows a charge decay time constant of < 1 second, based on independent lab testing.
- Food Grade Materials – Hose tube complies with FDA(05) requirements. Grounding wire embedded in external helix to prevent material contamination.
- Extra Thick Abrasion Resistant Double-Ply Polyurethane Tube – Provides for longer hose life & lower operating costs versus rubber or PVC hoses.
- Fabric Reinforcement – Designed with high tensile strength, food grade FDA(06), polyester yarn jacket to handle both suction, and higher pressure discharge applications.
- Transparent Construction – “See-the-flow”. Allows for visual conformation of material flow.
- “Cold-Flex” Materials – Hose remains flexible in sub-zero temperatures.
- Easy Slide Helix – Rigid helix design protects hose from wear; allows hose to slide easily over rough surfaces. Easy to handle.

NOTES:
• Service life may vary depending on operating conditions and type of material being conveyed.
CAUTION: Grounding wire is designed to help dissipate static charge when extracted and connected to ground. Hose is not to be used in combustible situations unless it has been determined by the end user the application if not sufficient to result in propagating brush discharge.
