LARGE BORE RUBBER HOSE
Truco supplies all the major dredge mining operations in Africa with high-quality, heavy-duty dredge hoses. These hoses are available with a variety of inner wear liners and liner thicknesses depending on the dredging conditions. The dredger hoses are designed to limit elongation and dilation from 0% to 2% under required working pressure.
Hose bends are designed for sharper bend radius applications created by limited space. The correct liner and pressure rating, with additional liner on the outer arc, can cost-effectively increase the bend's lifespan. These high-performance hose bends are used extensively in mining, and marine applications throughout Africa and South Africa.
Truco pulp and slurry hoses are available in hard wall and soft wall and are manufactured to withstand suction and delivery of typical materials such as coal, copper, iron, phosphate concentrates, limestone, lead, zinc, nickel, bauxite and mineral sands. Truco's large diameter pulp and slurry hoses are constructed with UV and weather-resistant outer covers.
Hard Wall Suction & Delivery Hose
Truco pinch valve sleeves are ideal for slurry lines, water applications and water pipelines. We understand the perceived quality of a pinch valve is directly related to the performance of its sleeve, and therefore we design sleeves that provide optimal performance for the required application, through the use of the best materials available in the market.
Slurry bellows / Expansion Joint
Truco offers a range of slurry bellows that act as an expansion joint / compensator in your large bore hose.
This range of customised, wear-resistant bellows is manufactured according to your specifications and is ideal for operations where a more abrasive resistant bellow is required.
Truco Slurry Bellows are designed to solve unique problems on site, and include the following solutions not applicable to standard stock bellows:
Price and further information available upon request
Up to 40 Bar WP
Double flanged for high end loads
Humps for external abrasion resistance
High tensile strength
Rubber Reducer
Rubber reducers for applications that require a hose or distance piece to be reduced from one size on a pipeline to a smaller size on the other side.
Self Floating Hose
Specifically manufactured for applications whereby a self floating hose is required in a dredging or tailings dam application. This hose allows for floatation without additional hose floats. High density foam does not allow for water permeability however this allows for absorption of impact
