What are compelling reasons to replace a hose? Systems often suffer from dirt deposits in their hoses, resulting in lower flow rates and possibly even thyristor failure. In addition, plasticizers volatilize from the hoses, making the hoses brittle and causing leaks. And, after five to six years, a hose replacement is necessary anyway according to the inverter operating instructions. It is also recommended following a longer period of plant downtime, which is something that is currently an issue for many companies.
Markus Fournell explains why this modernisation step makes sense by looking at the advantages: “Users receive higher plant availability, and the current state of the art technology is then also installed for greater safety. And they will be protected against further damage in the event of leaking hoses”.
ABP offers the whole package: quick, inexpensive and uncomplicated replacement is supplemented by services after the hose has been replaced. ABP induction offers repair, upgrade and overhaul services for systems from other manufacturers.

Calderys plays a key role in EU-funded project HEATERNAL to develop viable decarbonization solutions using thermal energy storage
As the only refractory maker taking part in the project, Calderys recently selected the refractories for the energy storage unit which will be assembled in the coming months before testing. The project is on track for completion in the second half of 2026.
