Inflatable formers
Inflatable reusable pneumatic rubber formers with a unique reinforced core
which enables concentric inflation. They can be surrounded by concrete
which when set, allows the former to be deflated and removed, leaving a
smooth circular throughway. Their uses are numerous including chimney
lining, pre-cast voids and cable ducts. While the formers have high
circumferential strength, they are equally flexible in length enabling curved
as well as straight voids to be formed
Peristaltic pump hose
Specially developed for high impact-resistance and rebound-resilience when
handling abrasive and corrosive fluids and slurries. Multiple layers of highstrength synthetic cords are incorporated to give pressure and fatigueresistance; ensuring that the hose resumes its circular cross-section without
damage to the product or hose wall. The outer surface is ground smooth to
control the critical diameter and reduce friction; preventing damage from the
pumps' shoes.
Pinch valve sleeves
Rubber sleeves for pneumatic, hydraulic and mechanical flow-control
applications. Designed for abrasive and corrosive powders and viscous
fluids such as slurries, cement, ash, pulp stock, waste water, chemicals, and
pellets. The sleeve provides the valve lining, flange gaskets, and seating
surface. Fabric or high-strength synthetic cord reinforcement provides
structural shoulder support to ensure the sleeve wall retains 'memory'. Pinch
valve sleeves are available with integral flanges, beaded ends or plain slipon configurations
Mandrel built tubing, sleeves and flexible connections
A range of mandrel built seamless rubber tubes, sleeves and flexible
connections produced with various wall thickness. Tubing and sleeves can
be produced in solid rubber or include plies of fabric or synthetic cord
reinforcement. Flexible connections can be made with a parallel or tapered
body and can incorporate an embedded steel wire spiral or separate steel
wire rings. Bellows are available with corrugated inner and outer surfaces to
dramatically increase flexibility. These designs are also available with
various coupling systems or plain ends.

Built-in and chemically bonded
Full-bore coupling system for medium to high pressure; non-corrosive and
non-abrasive applications. Metal fittings are built into the hose ends during
manufacture to form an integral part of the assembly. No external wire or
clamps are required as the fitting is chemically bonded into the hose and
mechanically locked with wire which is embedded in the hose wall between
the two cope rings, securely retaining the fitting in position.
Built-in rubber lined and chemically bonded
Full-bore coupling system for medium to high pressure; corrosive and
abrasive applications. Metal fittings are built and vulcanised into the hose
ends during manufacture to form an integral part of the assembly. The fitting
is encapsulated in rubber thus exhibiting a metal free lining. No external wire
or clamps are required as the fitting is chemically bonded and mechanically
locked into the hose. An embedded wire retains the fitting firmly in position
between the two cope rings. This system can be designed for the smallest
possible pitch circle diameters and is recommended for very heavy-duty
applications.
Integral fixed flange
Full-bore coupling system for low to medium pressure; corrosive and
abrasive applications. Reinforcing tyre cord plies, encapsulated in rubber
continue at right angles against the hose body into a flange. A steel backing
plate supports the flange. Elimination of a conventional hose tail allows the
hose to begin flexing immediately behind the flange; which is useful for
applications requiring a tight bend radius and a more uniform curvature. The
backing plate is vulcanised to the rubber and fabric flange; creating a onepiece unit. This system eliminates the necessity of a gasket yet provides a
fluid tight seal. The system can be incorporated into any hose type where a
smooth uninterrupted through bore is required. A rubber lining end-to-end
ensures that the conveyant has no contact with metal parts.

Double action integral flange
A further development of the integral flange. This system incorporates an
additional embedded steel plate within the flange structure. This resolves
many of the problems associated with pressure pulsation and/or end
load/stretch. This system reduces flange bending and loss of sealing at
higher pressures especially on flange drillings with a wide pitch circle
diameter.
Beaded swivel end
Full-bore coupling system for medium to high pressure; corrosive and
abrasive applications. A steel 'wedge' section ring is fully encapsulated in
rubber and fabric to create a bead. A one-piece rotatable flange sits on the
body of the hose against and on top of this bead. Elimination of a
conventional hose tail allows the hose to begin flexing immediately behind
the flange. This is useful for short hoses requiring a tight bend radius and a
more uniform curvature. A beaded end is capable of significant end-loading.
Internally swaged
Full-bore coupling system for medium to high pressure; non-corrosive and
non-abrasive applications. Modern industrial applications frequently require
increasingly high operating pressures. In order to comply with this, swaging
techniques have been developed for hose sizes beyond those commonly
found in hydraulic systems. Internal swaging provides a full-flow internal
diameter free from steps at the hose tail.
Cuffed ends – plain or enlarged
The embedded wire is terminated a set distance from the hose ends.
Designed to accommodate a hose tail, which can be banded, clipped-in,
wired-in or strapped-in. Ends can be enlarged to create a larger internal
diameter than the bore of the hose to facilitate the insertion of fittings where
an uninterrupted through-bore assembly is required.
The reinforcing carcase can be protected from corrosion and contamination
by rubber sealing the cuffed ends of the hose.
