A hose crimping machine is used to permanently attach metal fittings onto the ends of hydraulic, PVC, or rubber hoses by compressing a metal sleeve around the hose and fitting. This creates a leak-proof connection capable of handling specified pressure levels. Hose crimping is essential in automobile workshops, hydraulic system manufacturing, and fluid power applications.
At Sahlon Corporation, we manufacture two types of hose crimping machines in Phagwara, Punjab. This guide explains how each type works and which industries use them.
Type 1: Hand Operated Low Pressure Hose Crimping Machine
Hand Operated Hose Crimping Machine
The hand-operated hose crimping machine is a manually actuated tool. The operator places the hose and fitting into the crimping dies and applies force by hand (or a lever mechanism) to compress the dies around the ferrule. The machine is compact, portable, and requires no electrical connection.
Best for: Small workshops, vehicle repair shops service centres, and low-volume production where only a few hoses are crimped per day.
Compatible hose types: Low-pressure PVC hoses, rubber garden hoses, and light hydraulic hose assemblies.
Advantages: Very low cost, no power required, portable, easy to use.
Limitations: Slower than automatic machines, operator-dependent consistency, not suited for high-pressure hydraulic hoses.
Starting at ₹21,000/unitType 2: Automatic Low Pressure Hose Pipe Crimping Machine
Automatic Low Pressure Hose Pipe Crimping Machine
The automatic hose crimping machine uses an electric motor to power the crimping dies. The operator positions the hose and fitting, then the machine crimps automatically at the set diameter and force. This ensures consistent crimps across every hose assembly without operator fatigue.
Best for: Production lines, automobile component manufacturers, hydraulic hose assembly shops, and industrial equipment companies that crimp dozens to hundreds of hoses per shift.
Compatible hose types: Low to medium pressure PVC and rubber hydraulic hoses across multiple inner diameters.
Advantages: Consistent crimp quality, faster throughput, less operator skill required, suitable for production environments.
Limitations: Higher upfront cost, requires electrical connection.
Starting at ₹80,000/unitIndustries That Use Hose Crimping Machines
- Automobile industry — For hydraulic brake lines, power steering hose assemblies, and coolant hose connections.
- Agricultural machinery — For hydraulic implement lines on tractors and farm equipment.
- Construction equipment — For excavator, crane, and earthmover hydraulic hose assemblies.
- Vehicle service centres — For on-site hose repair and replacement crimping with the hand tool.
- Industrial fluid systems — For pneumatic and low-pressure fluid transfer line assemblies.
How to Choose the Right Hose Crimping Machine
- If you crimp fewer than 20 hoses per day and portability matters, choose the hand operated model (₹21,000).
- If you run a production line or service centre with higher volume, choose the automatic model (₹80,000) for consistent quality and speed.
- Always verify the machine handles the hose inner diameter (ID) range you work with.
- Confirm the crimping die set matches your fitting standard.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a hose crimping machine used for?
A hose crimping machine permanently attaches metal fittings onto the ends of hydraulic, PVC, or rubber hoses by compressing a metal sleeve around the hose and fitting. This creates a leak-proof, pressure-rated connection used in automobiles, hydraulic equipment, and fluid systems.
What is the difference between a hand operated and automatic hose crimping machine?
A hand operated machine is manually actuated — the operator applies force by hand. It is portable and low cost (from ₹21,000) but slower. An automatic machine uses an electric motor to apply crimping force automatically, delivering faster, more consistent results for production use (from ₹80,000).
