Introduction: Safety, Reliability, and Local Expertise in Chemical Transfer
Chemical transfer is one of the most demanding applications in the industrial sector. Whether it’s moving aggressive acids, solvents, or flammable chemicals, operators need absolute confidence in the integrity of their hose assemblies. Failure is simply not an option—it can lead to workplace injuries, costly downtime, or even environmental incidents.
At Fox Global, we understand the stakes. As a family-owned, Australian-operated company, we have built our reputation on providing chemical transfer solutions that combine world-class products with local expertise. Every hose we supply is carefully engineered, tested, and assembled to meet the specific needs of our clients, ensuring safe, efficient, and compliant operations.
Recently, Fox Global was proud to deliver two highly specialised hose solutions for chemical transfer facilities in Sydney and Newcastle. These projects showcase not only the technical versatility of our composite hoses but also the customised approach we bring to every client engagement.
Case Study 1: Sydney Chemical Processing Facility
The Challenge:
A Sydney-based processing facility required a 1-inch composite hose for safe chemical decanting. Their operation involved transferring corrosive liquids between bulk containers and smaller on-site storage tanks.
The facility needed a solution that offered:
- Maximum chemical resistance
- Lightweight handling for operators
- Secure end fittings compatible with existing plant infrastructure
- Compliance with strict safety standards
The Solution:
Fox Global supplied a 1-inch Code 969SS Composite Hose, factory-fitted with stainless steel female and male camlocks.
Key features included:
- Code 969SS Construction: Specially engineered for aggressive chemical resistance, ideal for decanting acids and solvents.
- Stainless Steel Camlocks: Corrosion-proof connections ensuring leak-free transfer and long service life.
- Lightweight & Flexible: Easier handling during repetitive transfer operations.
- Safety Assurance: Each assembly was pressure-tested before dispatch to guarantee safe performance under demanding site conditions.
The Outcome:
With Fox Global’s solution, the Sydney facility now has a hose system that operators can trust—lightweight, reliable, and resistant to even the harshest chemicals. This has reduced downtime, improved workplace safety, and ensured compliance with environmental standards.
Case Study 2: Newcastle Chemical Drum Loading Facility
The Challenge:
In Newcastle, a major chemical loading facility faced a unique challenge: they needed a 2 ½-inch composite hose assembly for drum loading operations. However, their infrastructure required a custom connection on one end to integrate with a larger 3-inch system.
The requirements included:
- A durable hose for repeated heavy-duty loading cycles
- Compatibility with both standard and non-standard camlock fittings
- A solution that could be fabricated quickly and withstand corrosive chemical contact
The Solution:
Fox Global designed and supplied a 2 ½-inch Code 969SS Composite Hose with:
- 2 ½-inch Female Camlock on one end
- Custom Fabricated 3-inch Female Camlock on the other
This hybrid assembly required in-house fabrication expertise to engineer a secure transition between the two camlock sizes while maintaining full chemical resistance and pressure integrity.
The Outcome:
The Newcastle facility now benefits from a tailored hose solution that integrates seamlessly with their infrastructure. Instead of modifying expensive plant equipment, the Fox Global team delivered a custom hose assembly that solved the problem efficiently and cost-effectively.

The Importance of Composite Hoses in Chemical Transfer
Composite hoses, like the Code 969SS series, are specifically engineered for chemical transfer applications. They feature a multi-layer construction of thermoplastic films and fabrics, ensuring superior chemical resistance and flexibility compared to traditional rubber hoses.
Key advantages include:
- Lightweight handling compared to rubber hoses of the same size
- Resistance to aggressive chemicals including acids, solvents, and hydrocarbons
- Customisable fittings and lengths
- Longer service life under harsh operating conditions
For industries handling chemicals daily, composite hoses provide the perfect balance of safety, reliability, and efficiency.
Applications of Fox Global’s Composite Hose Solutions
Our composite hoses are trusted across a wide range of industries, including:
- Chemical Processing Facilities
- Bulk Liquid Terminals
- Transport and Logistics Companies
- Drum Filling and Decanting Plants
- Pharmaceutical Production Facilities
- Food and Beverage (for chemical cleaning agents)
Wherever safe chemical transfer is required, Fox Global provides proven, tested solutions.
