Rittal AS 4050.665 is a plastic suction hose specifically made for use with Perforex BC and Perforex MT punching machines. At 15,000 mm long and supplied as a single-piece pack, the hose is intended to carry away dust and metal chips produced during sheet metal punching operations. It connects to the machine extraction ports to support continuous debris removal and help maintain a clear working area around the Perforex unit.
Advantages
The hose offers an extended reach with a 15 m length, reducing the need for additional joints or intermediate connectors. Constructed from plastic material suitable for dust and chip extraction, it is lightweight and easy to handle during installation. The single-piece supply reduces potential leak points and simplifies replacement when compared with multi-segment systems.
Suitable for (tasks / use cases)
- Dust and metal chip extraction on Perforex BC punching machines
- Dust and metal chip extraction on Perforex MT punching machines
- Maintaining a cleaner workspace around sheet metal processing equipment
- Use where a single continuous suction line of 15 m is required
When it may not be suitable
The plastic suction hose is designed for dust and chip extraction from sheet metal punching operations and may not be suitable for conveying hot gases, liquids, or highly abrasive solids that could damage the material. It is also not intended as a replacement for high-temperature or chemically resistant extraction ducts.
Key specifications
- Material: plastic suitable for dust and chip extraction
- Length: 15,000 mm (15 m)
- Supply format: single-piece pack
- Intended connection: Perforex BC and Perforex MT machine extraction ports
How to use
Connect one end of the suction hose to the designated extraction port on the Perforex BC or Perforex MT punching machine, ensuring a secure fit to prevent air leaks. Route the hose to the plant extraction system or dust collector, avoiding sharp bends and kinks that could restrict airflow. Inspect the hose periodically for accumulated chips or blockages and clean or replace it as needed to maintain effective extraction performance.
What to consider before purchase
- Confirm compatibility with the Perforex BC or Perforex MT extraction port dimensions
- Check that 15 m length meets routing requirements without excessive bends
- Verify that plastic material is suitable for the types of chips and dust produced
- Plan for periodic inspection and replacement intervals based on usage
Usage recommendations
For optimal performance, install the hose with gradual bends, secure mounting points, and connection seals at both machine and dust collector ends. Regularly remove accumulated debris and inspect for wear to ensure consistent suction and reduce the risk of blockages.
