Gates Corp., Denver, Colo., will be unveiling its rebranded industrial hose lines at IFPE in Las Vegas, March 4-8. The hose and belt manufacturer will introduce its new industrial hose naming and color-coding system, which uses descriptive, intuitive, and sensible names to streamline hose selection, reduce hassles, and help eliminate downtime. The company has created icons for each major industry category and a color to match. All Gates industrial hoses will henceforth be imprinted with new, color-coded laylines identifying the industry or application.
Gates will have more than 50 hose and belt experts on hand at IFPE and CONEXPO-CON/AGG to demonstrate selected hose solutions, including
- MegaSys constant pressure spiral-wire and wire-braid hose and coupling products that work together for leak-free assemblies, reducing costs by up to 64%.
- HotLine Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) hose assemblies that are designed to convey diesel exhaust fluid (DEF). The hose and couplings are electronically heated using Gates patented carbon fiber heating system, which allows for more uniform fluid heating compared to heated-wire designs.
- GC32-TSi hydraulic hose crimper, which includes Gates eCrimp database, Web access, a conversion calculator, diagnostic/repair videos, and advanced functions to ensure a quality hose assembly.
Visitors to the Gates booth, which will be divided into four key areas: design, downtime, safety, and resources, will have an opportunity to control a powerful, custom-built, remote-controlled 1:10 scale model excavator to unearth a hidden prize.
