A canister vacuum cleaner consists of a floor tool, a wand, a handle, a hose and a canister. The canister contains the motor and the dust collection unit.
Since the canister is equipped with wheels, canister vacuum cleaners are easy to handle. You don’t need to carry them, you can simply drag them along over the floor.
Floor care has changed tremendously over the last 100 years. For centuries, a broom was the preferred way to clean floors.
Once the dustpan was developed, a mechanical sweeper was introduced. After that, various types of vacuum cleaners were designed using different mechanisms to generate a vacuum, e.g. a hand pump, a gas driven vacuum cleaner, etc.
Finally, the electrical vacuum cleaner as we know it was developed. The main parts of a vacuum cleaner are the vacuum pump (motor), hose, wand, and floor tool.
We supply a wide range of air hose types for canister vacuum cleaners.
Electrical hoses are used to power floor tools and brushes, and to switch the vacuum cleaner ON/OFF.
Our braided hoses for canister vacuum cleaners are aesthetically pleasing and come in a variety of designs.
Our air hoses for canister vacuum cleaners allow for a high degree of design freedom. This way, we can optimize the different key characteristics of the hose system for our customers, airflow resistance and flexibility for example.
We typically supply air hoses for canister vacuum cleaners to OEMs, Brand Owners, and Vacuum Cleaner Manufacturers.
Our air hoses are part of an economical hose system which connects the handle and the vacuum cleaner.
Our Airflex technology enables us to design and develop air hoses for canister vacuum cleaners with superior flow characteristics, increasing the efficiency of the canister vacuum cleaner.
Plastiflex offers cost-effective air hose system solutions, while maintaining a high degree of design freedom with respect to desired hose weight and airflow characteristics.
We can design and develop electrical hoses to either maximize the performance of the canister vacuum cleaner or to optimize the cost of the vacuum cleaner, while maintaining some additional benefits over standard air hoses.
We typically supply electrical hoses for canister vacuum cleaners to OEMs, Brand Owners, and Vacuum Cleaner Manufacturers.
With advancements in electrical hoses, vacuum cleaners can be operated via the hose handle, i.e. switching ON/OFF and/or supplying electricity to power-driven floor tools.
Our electrical hoses with Airflex technology combine superior air flow resistance with optimal functionality, giving you the better of two worlds.
The mode of operation can be achieved via different technologies, e.g. spiral electrical hoses combine connectivity with a high mechanical flexibility, while more economical electrical constructions are known as Tuflex hoses.
We supply braided air hoses or electrical hoses for canister vacuum cleaners in a variety of designs and colors.
Our typical clients are OEMs, Brand Owners, and Vacuum Cleaner Manufacturers.
The braiding allows for a distinguished hose appearance.
The vacuum cleaner becomes aesthetically more pleasing.
Our braiding process allows for a high degree of freedom when it comes to pattern choice, overall product customization and brand recognition.
For over 70 years, Plastiflex has been a global leader in plastic hoses and hose systems for various end-uses.
