Dredge Hose – Floating, Suction and Dredge Types for Functional Applications

Compared with sandblasting hose, which has smaller diameters for derusting, the dredge hose has large diameter which ranges from 6" to 36". It is widely used for seawater, sand and other materials dredging in various applications.

Dredge hose has similar structure with other suction and discharge hoses, which contains inner layer, reinforced layer and outer layer.

  • Inner layer. Black and smooth synthetic rubber for abrasion and wear resistance and clogging resistance.
  • Reinforcement layer. Cord thread and steel spiral wire for high tensile strength and kinking resistance.
  • Outer layer. Smooth or corrugated synthetic rubber for wear and abrasive resistance. Additional, it has excellent weather and chemical resistance performance in corrosive environments.

According to the structure and function, the dredge hose has slightly different structure, they can be divided into three types:

Floating dredge hose

Two floating dredge hose with orange reminding strips and red flange on the white background.
Floating dredge hose features self-floating on the water.

Structure.

  • Inner layer. high quality wear and abrasion resistant rubber.
  • Reinforcement layer. Several layers of cord threads and spiral wire reinforcement.
  • Filling layer. It is particularly designed for the floating dredge hose. It is filled with PEF (polyethylene foaming). It can support the dredge hose floating on the water.
  • Outer layer. High quality SBR rubber and other synthetic rubber material.

Features

  • Special design for self-floating performance on the seawater.
  • Synthetic rubber material is highly resistant against weathering, UV ,salty and ozone.
  • Smooth SBR inner rubber supplies wear resistance and no-plugging performance.
  • Small bending radius. In working condition, the bending angle is from 0° to 45°.
  • Working temperature ranges form -25 °C to 80 °C.
  • Safety factor: 4:1.

Application

The floating dredge hose is connected with floating dredge hoses through rubber or steel flange. It is widely used for port and dock discharging of seawater, slit, sand and other dredging applications.

Note: 900 mm and 1200 mm inner diameter floating dredge hoses can be customized.

Suction dredge hose

A piece of corrugated suction dredge hose with plastic film package on the ground.
Suction dredge hose features steel rings for reinforcement and anti-bending.

Suction dredge hose features a corrugates surface because of the special structure.

Structure.

  • Inner structure. black, smooth, SBR (Styrene Butadiene Rubber) or NR (Natural Rubber) with good abrasion and laceration resistance.
  • Reinforcement layer. It is composed of high tensile synthetic cord threads, spiral wires and steel rings. It can improve the anti-bending performance and increase the rubber hose strength.
  • Outer layer. black, corrugated synthetic rubber. It has excellent resistant performance to sea water, weathering, traces of oils and abrasion.

Advantages of suction dredge hose

  • Excellent synthetic rubber for wear, abrasion, weather, seawater and oil resistance.
  • Reinforced helix steel wire supplies excellent kink resistant performance.
  • Smooth and abrasion resistant inner rubber help to prevent clogs and avoid damage from the abrasive materials passing through.
  • Ideal for working temperature ranges form -25 °C to +80 °C.
  • Safety factor: 3:1.

Application.

Suction dredge hose is designed for slit conveyance dredging operations. Flexible corrugated hose used as a mobile connection among the suction ducts on dredgers (sleeves). It is built with steel rings and used for the suction of water, mud and dredging debris.
