Product Description:
The Self Floating Dredge Hose is a specialized, heavy-duty
component engineered for efficient and reliable slurry and sediment
transport in marine, dredging, and offshore environments. Unlike
conventional hoses that require external pontoons or floats, this
hose features an integrated buoyancy layer within its structure.
This design allows the hose to float naturally on the water
surface, significantly simplifying installation, relocation, and
maintenance operations. Constructed with robust, wear-resistant
synthetic rubber and reinforced with high-tensile textile or steel
wire, these hoses are built to withstand the abrasive nature of
dredged materials, the constant movement of the sea, and harsh
weather conditions.
Features:
Integrated Buoyancy: The most prominent feature is the built-in
foam or rubber layer that ensures the hose remains afloat,
eliminating the need for separate floats, reducing labor, and
speeding up deployment.
Superior Abrasion Resistance: The inner lining is made from a
specialized compound designed to resist the severe wear and tear
caused by continuous pumping of sand, gravel, coral, and sludge.
This extends the service life and reduces downtime.
High Flexibility and Strength: Reinforced construction provides
excellent kink resistance and handles high internal pressures while
maintaining the flexibility required to adapt to wave movement and
vessel operation.
Easy Handling and Storage: The floating nature makes them easier to
retrieve, reposition, and store compared to sinking hoses and
external pontoon systems.
Reduced Environmental Impact: By floating, the hose minimizes
disturbance to the seabed and marine life during operation.
