Mining and material handling hose provides flexibility of plant layout and long service life in mineral processing operations. Tec-flex hand built mining and material handling hose is manufactured using a wide range of elastomeric materials, reinforcing, flanges and end connections to customers specifications. Hose Specifications – Inside diameter from 25mm to 1200mm – Lengths up to 10m – Working pressures up to 3500 kPa End Connections Beaded Ends – The most popular flanged coupling which provide extremely strong connections, with the benefit of being able to rotate the flange or hose. They are easy to fit, and the ability to easily rotate hose subject to wear characteristics makes these couplings as standard (except in chemical service). Flanged Nipples – Built in steel nipples with a fixed or floating flanges when higher pressures or end pull is likely. Integral Rubber Flanged -The flange is fully bonded to the reinforcing material and is fixed.

Elastomer Tube and cover liners The benefits of a custom built mining and material handling hose is having the ability to select the liner type, colour, hardness and thickness. Rubbertec Australia is able to offer liners in a variety of compounds, as well as an outer protective cover. – Natural Rubber (Tec-flex 40) – Natural Rubber (Tec-flex 60) – SBR – Neoprene (Tec-flex PC) – Nitrile (Tec-flex NBR) – EPDM (Tec-flex EP) – Bromobutyl (Tec-flex BR) – FDA and potable water compounds – Polyurethane (Rubberthane) – Ceramic (refer to Ceramoflex data sheet)
