TPU Layflat Hose
Drag Hose
Drag hose is a TPU layflat hose used to transfer sludge, slurry and liquid manure continuously across an irrigation field, while being dragged behind the applicator.
Product Overview
What This Hose Is Built To Do
Drag hose is a TPU layflat hose used to transfer sludge, slurry and liquid manure continuously across an irrigation field, while being dragged behind the applicator. That duty is unusual: the hose is under tension and abrasion at the same time as it is under pressure. It is made in 4 to 6 inch in 200 m lengths, orange, rated -50°C to 80°C.
Key Benefits
- High tensile strength for hose that is pulled across a field under pressure
- Abrasion resistance against stubble, soil and headland surfaces
- Great adhesion between cover and lining so the wall does not separate under drag load
- UV, oil and chemical resistance for hose left out through an application season

Manufacturing and Quality
How It Is Made and Checked
Production Process of TPU Layflat Hose. Every manufacturing process complies with the ISO 9001 standard.
- All raw materials approved by the Department of Quality Control
- Yarn strength and skein consistency verified before weaving
- Every manufacturing process complies with the ISO 9001 standard
- All hoses tested at the test pressure
- Layflat hose held at 1.5 times working pressure for 2 hours before shipment
- Trace number recorded for production date, employees and raw material sources
Customization Options
- Colour made to order alongside the standard range
- OEM and ODM printing of your brand, with exclusive protection of your designs
- Length cut to the run you specify rather than a fixed stock length
- Couplings fitted before shipment and pressure tested as one assembly
Use Guide
- Match the pull force of the applicator to the hose tensile rating
- Keep the drag line clear of gateposts and stone walls on turns
- Flush thoroughly after manure and digestate so residue does not set in the bore
- Inspect the cover at the end of each field, not at the end of the season
- Reel with even tension so the hose does not take a permanent set
Comparison
How It Compares With Our Other Products
| Irrigation Supply Hose | The irrigation supply hose is nitrile rubber and PVC for static supply lines, where drag hose is built to be pulled while running |
|---|---|
| Mine Dewatering Hose | Both are tough TPU hoses, but drag hose is specified for tensile drag load rather than underground abrasion |
