Product Overview
The KINGPO Current-Carrying Hose Crushing Tester is used to apply a specified mechanical compression load to current-carrying hoses according to IEC 60335-2-2 Clause 21.101. These hoses may contain internal conductors or powered connections for vacuum cleaner functions, so their insulation structure must remain suitable after mechanical stress.
This tester provides a standard-focused crushing setup for manufacturers, hose suppliers, safety laboratories and certification preparation teams. It helps users prepare hose samples under the required mechanical condition before the following electric strength verification.
Unlike a general-purpose compression machine, this equipment is configured around the IEC 60335-2-2 hose crushing method, including the parallel steel plate structure, specified compression speed and 1.5 kN applied force.

IEC 60335-2-2 Clause 21.101 Reference
IEC 60335-2-2 covers safety requirements for electric vacuum cleaners and water-suction cleaning appliances for household and similar use. It also applies to current-carrying hoses associated with a particular vacuum cleaner.
This tester is designed for the mechanical crushing part of the test. The electric strength verification after crushing should be performed with separate electrical safety test equipment.
Testing Principle
Position the current-carrying hose between two parallel steel plates.
Keep the hose axis at right angles to the longer sides of the plates.
Compress the hose at 50 mm/min ± 5 mm/min until the force reaches 1.5 kN.
After force release, proceed with electric strength verification using separate equipment.
Difference from Related IEC 60335-2-2 Hose Test Equipment
