Did you know that the global demand for flexible metal conduits is projected to grow by over 6% annually, driven by increasing applications in HVAC, automotive, aerospace, and construction industries? Yet, many manufacturers still struggle to find the right equipment to produce these complex, high-performance hoses efficiently and reliably.
If you're in the business of metal hose manufacturing or looking to expand into this high-demand segment, the flexible metal conduit making machine is your key to unlocking consistent production, greater flexibility, and long-term cost savings.
In this post, you'll learn what a flexible metal conduit making machine is, how it works, where it's used, and why choosing the right manufacturer—like At Machinery—can make all the difference in your operations.
A flexible metal conduit making machine is specialized equipment designed to produce high-strength, bendable metal hoses used in a variety of industries. These machines are essential for manufacturers looking to deliver quality, durability, and customization. With advanced control systems and customizable configurations, they can significantly enhance production efficiency and product consistency.
A flexible metal conduit making machine is a piece of industrial equipment used to form metal strips—typically stainless steel or galvanized steel—into corrugated or locked hose structures. These hoses are widely used to protect wires, transport fluids and gases, and absorb vibrations in complex systems.
Suitable for single-locked or double-locked hose structures
Works with materials such as SS201, SS304, SS316L, and galvanized iron
Produces hose sizes ranging from 6mm to 150mm in inner diameter
Equipped with inverter-controlled motors, PLC systems, and optional automation

The working mechanism of a flexible metal conduit making machine is a blend of mechanical precision and automation. Here's a breakdown of the typical process:
| Step | Process | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Material Feeding | Metal strip (SS or GI) is automatically fed into the forming section. |
| 2 | Forming | The strip is shaped into a tube or lock profile using forming rollers. |
| 3 | Locking/Welding | Depending on the design, the machine uses either locking or TIG/MIG welding to seal the hose. |
| 4 | Corrugation (Optional) | Corrugated designs are formed for flexibility using dies and pressure rollers. |
| 5 | Sizing | The hose is calibrated to precise dimensions. |
| 6 | Cutting & Collection | Finished hose is cut to length and collected in barrels or coils. |
PLC control for real-time monitoring
Inverter-based speed control
Automatic drum collection system
Online quality inspection systems
These features ensure high-speed production (up to 120 meters/hour) with minimal manual intervention.
Flexible metal conduits are indispensable across industries. Here's where they make the biggest impact:
