A dredging hose is a large diameter hose for use in dredging. It is to transport sediment, sand and other materials from the bottom of a body of water to another place. While such hose often works together with others such as dredger, dredge pump and dredge heads. Which are to create suction and transport materials. They widely serves in various apps such as marine and mine.
Dredging hose adopts the materials that can withstand the harsh and abrasive conditions. But the most sued include:
Synthetic rubber
This is the most common material used for the inner lining of dredging hoses. Rubber provides good resistance to wear, corrosion and chemical.
Steel
Steel is to reinforce the hose structure and provide strength. It is typically in the form of steel wire spirals or steel rings.
PE
PE is to make the outer cover of the hose. Because it provides good resistance to wear, UV and chemical.
Neoprene
Neoprene is a synthetic rubber that is to make the cover of the hose. It provides good resistance to wear, weather and ozone.
Nylon
Nylon is a strong and durable material that is used to reinforce the hose. While it is typically in the form of braids or spirals.
Other materials that may used in the hose include PU, PVC and natural rubber. The choice of materials depends on the specific app and the conditions in which the hose will serve.
