Varioflex Technology

Adapting the specifications of our hoses to suit the customer’s needs.

 

Changing the process for you

Whether it’s for industrial applications, power tools, or specialized systems, our custom hoses with Varioflex Technology can be tailored to deliver optimal performance. At Rowin Plastics, we understand that no two applications are alike, and that’s why our hoses are designed with adaptability in mind. Unlike standard hoses, our advanced production process allows us to customize every aspect of our hoses to meet your unique requirements, from very rigid to soft and flexible resins are possible.

 

What makes Varioflex so unique?

We are the only player in the market that adopts its production process to the needs of our clients. Guaranteeing highly customisable hoses, without compromising on quality and price. 

  • Customisable specifications: Our hoses can be designed to vary in weight, diameter, profile, and even color along their length. This flexibility ensures a perfect fit for your specific application, eliminating inefficiencies and enhancing overall performance. The possibilities are endless.

  • Variable features along the hose: Need reinforced strength at one section and added flexibility in another? Our innovative production techniques allow us to deliver hoses that are rigid or reinforced where necessary and flexible elsewhere. This design prevents collapsing and improves wear resistance in high-stress areas.

  • Enhanced flex life and durability: Our reinforced hose ends are specifically engineered to withstand repeated bending and usage, improving the hose’s flex life and ensuring longevity in demanding applications. This results in reduced maintenance and longer operational reliability.

  • Custom colors for easy identification: For systems requiring clear identification, we offer customizable color options. This feature is ideal for industries needing visual differentiation between hoses or alignment with branding.

How custom can we go?

Adjustable weight

Weight and strength doesn't have to go hand in hand. When reducing weight, our hoses keep flexibility and strength.
One layer PE / EVA hose, smooth and flexible.

Multiple diameters and lengths

Dimensions and length are fully customizable (e.g. hose of 38mm with a section in smaller diameter at the end so it is more flexible at the end.) Furthermore every diameter between 25mm and 63 mm is possible with 0,1mm precision.

Different profiles

Custom hose profiles are tailored for strength and flexibility, while non-conductive features ensure safety by preventing electrical current transfer, ideal for high-risk environments. These features provide durable, versatile solutions for various applications.

Tapered hose with a section in a conical shape

Our tapered hoses are fully customizable to meet your exact requirements, including dimensions and length. For example, a 38 mm hose can feature a reduced diameter section at the end to enhance flexibility precisely where it's needed.

Reusable plastic for more sustainability

Our production process has been retrofitted to integrate up to 25% reusable materials, ensuring high-quality custom hose performance while significantly reducing waste.

 

Rowin Plastics hoses are 100% “made in Belgium” and follow strict quality and environmental standards.

Frequently asked questions

The longest hose we produce is 30 meters in length. However, using our interconnecting cuffs, you can make the hose as long as you need. 

We have a range of standard colors

Any other color possible, either single or multi-color (base of hose with accent on the outer layer). 

A smooth inner wall makes the hose way more optimized for suction and airflow.
