SMT Steady Mesh Technology^®

We had been thinking of a new reinforcement for extruded hoses for a long time, being fully aware of the limits characterizing previous products. Meanwhile we have developed a new kind of hose reinforcement combining stability under pressure, which is a peculiar feature of the braided hose, with the unique flexibility offered by a knitted hose. The result is versatile mesh reinforcement, perfect for different applications such as gardening, hobby activities, industry and the food sector.
The technology development of the SMT^® reinforcement is based on the patents shown below:

SMT^® X Mesh

Reinforcement obtained by hooking two thread strings running around the hose in opposite sense to each other; thus as many knitting meshes as the threads running in each sense are obtained.

Reinforcement preventing the hose from twisting under pressure even in case of variable pressure values; high malleability, limited stretching and expansion when the hose is under pressure; excellent for gardening and hobby applications, especially for diameters below 1" ( DN 25 ).

SMT^® V Mesh

Reinforcement obtained by hooking two thread strings running around the hose in opposite sense to each other; this version however also hooks the thread crossing points ( see SMT® X Mesh ). Thus twice the number of mesh chains compared to the number of threads for each string is achieved.

Reinforcement preventing the hose from twisting under pressure even in case of variable pressure values. Excellent malleability thanks to the high number of knitted meshes; limited stretching of the hose under pressure; ideal for gardening and hobby activities, for hose diameters of 1" ( DN 25 ) and beyond as well as for industrial applications.
