The problem

External abrasion, the third cause of mobile plant breakdowns

Hydraulic hose failures are the third most common cause of mobile plant breakdowns, and most come from external abrasion: hose against hose and hose against surface. The HoseMate™ separator secures correct routing and spacing. More in hydraulic hose protection in mining.

  • Stops external abrasionAgainst sharp edges, other hoses, flat surfaces and moving parts.
  • 360° rotationHolds hoses of different widths without compromising their use.
  • V2 thermopolymer, UV resistantFire-resistance rating for demanding duty.
  • Simple installNo special tools and no extra weight on the machine.

Operational benefits

Longer life for hydraulic hoses

By stopping external abrasion, HoseMate™ prevents hydraulic hose failures and bursts, cuts maintenance and oil spills and raises machine availability, without compromising hose flexibility.

Prevents failures and bursts

Protects the hose before damage happens.

Less maintenance

Lower cost and less planned and unplanned downtime.

More availability

No lost production or idle labour hours.

Fewer oil spills

Cuts environmental risk and the related clean-ups.

Reusable and recyclable

In most cases it outlasts the hose; the thermopolymer can be shredded for recycling.

Optimal hose use

Protection does not compromise flexibility or performance.

Size guide

Eleven sizes by outside diameter

The HoseMate™ size is chosen by the hose's real outside diameter, 13 to 100 mm across 11 sizes. Do not infer it from the inside diameter, since wall thickness varies by application. Each size comes single or in a 10-pack, also listed in the NPR catalogue.

Installation

Installation in six steps

HoseMate™ installs with no special tools and no major work on the machine: measure the hose, hook it into the separator, close the joiner and secure it with two tension straps.

01

Measure

The hose outside diameter, in mm.

02

Pick the size

From the size guide.

03

Fit

Hook each hose into the separator body.

04

Join

Join both ends in the joiner and close it with the pliers.

05

Secure

Two straps per HoseMate™: firm, not over-tight.

06

Finish

Trim excess strap with the cutter.

Validation

Field evidence

HoseMate™ on mining equipment

Real HoseMate™ installs on haul trucks and mining machines: hoses that used to rub against each other, now with secured routing. For cable and hose crossings on the workshop floor there are the NPR workshop crossover covers.

FAQ

HoseMate™ FAQ

What is HoseMate™?
HoseMate™ is a hydraulic hose separator made by National Plastics & Rubber in Brisbane, Australia. It clips onto the exposed hoses of mining equipment to keep them on their route and apart, stopping external abrasion against other hoses, sharp edges, flat surfaces and moving parts, while letting each hose rotate 360°.
Why do hydraulic hoses fail on mining equipment?
Hose failures are the third most common cause of mobile plant breakdowns, and most of them come from external abrasion: hose against hose and hose against surface. A HoseMate™ separator tackles that cause by securing correct routing and spacing, which cuts oil spills and downtime.
How do I pick the HoseMate™ size?
Measure the hose's real outside diameter and pick the HoseMate™ size that contains it: there are 11, from 13–16 mm (NPR06644-02) to 86–100 mm (NPR06644-12), single or in 10-packs (NPR16644-xx). Do not work it out from the inside diameter, as hose wall thickness varies by application.
What is HoseMate™ made of?
HoseMate™ is made of a thermopolymer with a V2 fire-resistance rating and UV resistance, adding no unnecessary weight to the machine. The tension straps that secure it are also V2, heat- and UV-stabilised. At end of life, the thermopolymer clamp can be shredded for recycled products.
What tests has HoseMate™ passed?
HoseMate™ was tested at 900 cycles per minute of vibration for 6.8 million cycles, immersed for 5 days in hydraulic oil, engine oil, coolant, truck wash and degreaser, 4 hours in ice at −35 °C and 1 hour in an oven at 90 °C, all under load. It was Highly Commended at the 2023 Queensland Mining Health & Safety Conference.
What do I need to install HoseMate™?
Each HoseMate™ assembly takes 2 separators, 1 NPR06644-01 joiner, NPR07937-00 Multigrip pliers, 4 tension straps (NPR17910-00 or NPR17911-00 by size) and the NPR07939-00 cutter. No special tools or major work are needed: each separator is secured with 2 firm straps, not over-tightened.
Can HoseMate™ be reused?
Yes. In most cases HoseMate™ outlasts the hydraulic hose it protects and is reused on the next job when the hose is replaced. At end of life the thermopolymer can be shredded for recycled products, and by preventing failures it cuts spills and the related clean-ups.
Where can I buy HoseMate™ separators in Peru?
Endeavant S.A.C., in Miraflores, Lima, distributes National Plastics & Rubber products in Peru, with all 11 HoseMate™ sizes and the installation accessories, and serves mining operations across the country. Tell us the machine and your hoses' outside diameters and we will quote sizes and accessories.
