Rubbertec Australia has just completed a large hose contract for the manufacture and supply of suction and delivery hoses in sizes ranging from 100 mm ID to 600 mm ID. All of various lengths and design criteria, the entire project was completed on time and installed for mineral sands processing as per our customers requirements.

Our client engaged Rubbertec Auatralia to complete an on site survey and provide solutions to hose related issues such as premature wear, some hose failures and in some cases where hoses were collapsing on the suction side of the pumps.

Material handling hoses have enabled Rubbertec Australia to further service the mining industry with product manufactured in Australia. Large capacity, friendly staff and excellent technical knowledge have led to steady growth in the field of materials handling hose and we have testimonials to support this.

Please contact Rubbertec Australia for you next materials handling hose enquiry, whether it be a one off or a large contract – we have the knowledge, technical expertise and ‘can – do’ attitude to meet demanding schedules.

Rubbertec has purchased and installed a new high pressure water jet machine from the US to further develop our steel backed rubber liner panel business. It has the ability to cut almost any material, up to 200 mm thick. Factory based, it is a high tech service based on CAD technology, which can be developed work from just a simple sketch, into a computer-generated detailed drawing for approval.

Once a design is transferred into the machines computer, the movement of a fine abrasive water jet cuts around a shape at ultra high pressure (50,000 psi) on a bed size of 1500 x 3000 mm.

Steel backed rubber panels are laid and cut to customer requirements which equates to super quick deliveries as opposed to long delays in moulded product. This cutting technology also provides ceramic and polyurethane parts as well as simple rubber gaskets.

Cost is dependent upon a combination of design complexity, material type and rate of cutting speed. As each and every job is different, it is priced quickly and individually, please ask us for a quote.
