About iten metal hoses AG
iten metal hoses AG, headquartered in Kloten (Switzerland), specializes in the development and manufacture of metal hoses, hose/tube assemblies, all-metal hoses, welded tube constructions and tubes bent to coordinates. The metal hoses are formed single- or double-walled in dimensions DN 6 to DN 300, mechanically or hydraulically, and comply with standard ISO EN 10380. The company produces bent tubes with diameters from 1 to 114.3 mm and welded tube constructions from 6 to 168.3 mm diameter. The processing range includes stainless steels, steel, non-ferrous metals and special alloys such as tantalum and Inconel. In-house toolmaking produces single- and multi-stage bending tools; the machine park comprises CNC rotary draw bending machines and a 5-axis CNC machining center. The engineering team supports customers with 3D models, CFD flow simulations, pressure loss calculations and CAD designs. Customers are found in piping and valve construction, rail vehicle manufacturing and industrial equipment.
