Description
The Material Suction and Discharge Hose is designed for the suction and discharge of abrasive materials such as sand, gravel, cement, slurry, and other bulk solids. It is a versatile, heavy-duty hose commonly used in construction, mining, quarries, and industrial material handling applications. The hose is built to handle both suction (vacuum) and discharge, providing flexibility and strength for demanding operations.
1. Construction
- Inner Tube: Made from high-quality synthetic rubber (SBR, NR, or NBR), the inner tube is highly resistant to abrasion and wear, making it suitable for transferring abrasive materials like cement, sand, gravel, and slurry. The smooth inner surface reduces friction, ensuring efficient flow of materials.
- Reinforcement: Reinforced with high-tensile synthetic textile plies and an embedded steel wire helix for added strength and flexibility. This reinforcement allows the hose to handle both suction and discharge pressures, preventing collapse during vacuum operations.
- Outer Cover: The outer cover is made from synthetic rubber that is resistant to weather, ozone, abrasion, and external damage. This provides additional protection for the hose in harsh environments, ensuring durability in rugged working conditions.
2. Standard Sizes
- Inner Diameter: Typically available in sizes ranging from 2 inches (50mm) to 12 inches (300mm), depending on the specific application and flow requirements.
- Length: Available in standard lengths ranging from 10 to 40 meters, with custom lengths available upon request.
3. Working Pressure
- Designed for medium- to high-pressure applications, the hose has a working pressure range typically from 5 to 15 bars (72 to 217 psi), depending on the hose size and application.
- Vacuum Rating: The steel wire helix allows the hose to withstand high vacuum pressures without collapsing, ensuring efficient suction of dense, heavy materials.
4. Abrasion Resistance
- The synthetic rubber inner tube provides superior abrasion resistance, making it ideal for transferring highly abrasive materials such as sand, gravel, and cement. This feature significantly extends the service life of the hose, reducing the need for frequent replacements.
5. Temperature Range
- The hose operates effectively in a wide temperature range, from -20°C to 80°C (-4°F to 176°F), ensuring reliable performance in various climates and operational conditions.
6. Performance Characteristics
- Abrasion Resistance: The durable inner tube provides excellent resistance to abrasive materials, ensuring a longer service life.
- Suction and Discharge: The hose is designed for both suction and discharge operations, making it versatile for material handling. Its steel wire helix prevents collapse during suction operations.
- Durability: The outer cover is weather- and abrasion-resistant, protecting the hose from external damage and harsh environmental conditions.
- Flexibility: Despite its robust construction, the hose maintains flexibility for easy handling and installation in complex layouts or confined spaces.
7. Applications
- Used in construction, mining, and quarries for the suction and discharge of abrasive materials like sand, gravel, and cement.
- Ideal for dredging operations, where both suction and discharge of sediment, slurry, or other materials are required.
- Suitable for bulk material transfer and hopper unloading systems.
- Commonly used in ready-mix plants, cement factories, and other industrial settings where abrasive material transfer is necessary.
8. End Fittings
- The hose can be fitted with a variety of end fittings, including flanges, camlock couplings, and quick-connect fittings, depending on the specific operational requirements. These fittings are typically made from durable, corrosion-resistant metals such as galvanized steel or stainless steel, ensuring secure and reliable connections.
