Dredging Pipeline

Dredging Pipe is used to transfer the material to the requested area. There are different types of material that isused for
such pipelines. While traditional pipelines have been steel pipes with floaters; there are now lighter and cost effective
soutions like HDPE (High Density Polyethlene) pipes UHMW (Ultra High Monecular Weight) etc. Those pipes are connected
one another via flange joints, where the connecting pieces have flanges by which the parts are bolted together.

Such systems are arguable the most convinient and cost effective means for delivery of the produced material for most
cases. 

 Flexible Discharge Hose

Flexible Discharge Hoses are available in any size, burst

pressure up to 150 bar. Liner thickness specified applies to the
inside of the hose as well as the flanges. These discharge hoses
and sleeves are for the delivery of sand and gravel mixed with
water. They can be equipped with all the different types of
flanges. Normally flexible discharge hoses are used to connect
sections of discharge pipeline, but also the suction pump’s
discharge pipe to the pipeline. The tube is made of SBR/NR
rubber, which resists abrasion and lacerations. It is also
reinforcement with high strength synthetic cord, which is
divided by layers of natural rubber.

Floaters

Dredging pipeline floaters, are arguable one of the key

components behind a successful dredging operation. The key to success is not only evaluating the correct size, volume
and lay out of floaters; but also wall thickness, quality of material and correct PE foam to fill inside the floaters. As
Turkey’s major supplier, Gozuyilmaz went trough difficult trial and error process before reaching out the best
combination of components and suppliers. Therefore please feel free to contact us for any kind of technical assistance.

 
 Dredging Hoses
 The success of dredging operation depends on type and quality of delivery pipes and floaters that support the discharge line.
Dragflow provides two different types pipes:

 Delivery flexible pipes: delivery flexible pipes, they are subjected to higher abrasion, but guarantee the most
handling versatility during dredging operations.
 Delivery surface pipes: the delivery surface pipes transport the material to the discharge place.

Dragflow offers both options according to customer-s needs and preferences.

FLOATERS

Material Identification:
Special developed compounded powder based on polyethylene, none standard grade. Powder yellow pigmented,
other pigments on request.
Good balance for both mechanical en thermal properties.
Good balance between density, stiffness, toughness and flexibility.
Material high impact resistant under different conditions.
Material UV-resistant, stabilized for more than average light- and weather exposure.

Rotational Molding
Manufacturing of hollow objects made in shell-like moulds.
Moulds are charged with a polyethylene powder grade, heated and through a two axes rotation the plastic forms
a monolithic layer against the mould surface.
The mould rotation continues during the cooling process, the plastic retains its desired solid shape. After these
stages the mould with the final product will be unloaded and a new cycle will start.

Process advantages: 
Wide product design and engineering window.
Relatively inexpensive molds — short completion time. Short setup time and lead time.
Equal wall thickness distribution of molded product. Product without welding lines.
Stress-free products.
Process suitable for relatively small and medium series.

Soft Plastic floater characteristics:

Mainly developed for the Dredging and Marine industry.
Several floats series available with different characteristics and suitable for many different applications.
Typical spherical design, two shell product, rounded corners, spherical design with outer grooves for extra
strength, inner grooves for locking purposes, both shells are connected with nut and bold or fixing pins.
More than average strength and stability, optimal relation between product weight and volume.

All floats are 100% recyclable Poly Ethylene

Dredging pipes, steel or HDPE and accessories

These dredge hoses are available in floating and non-floating series, with internal diameters (ID’s) of 1200 mm for
the new made ones and up to ID 600 mm for the second hand ones.

The new made dredge discharge flexible dredge hoses.

Rubber dredge hoses are purpose built to the special requirements of our clients.
We are in the position to build dredge hose sizes ranging from 100 mm ID to 2200 mm ID.
Our designers will select the most appropriate materials from a wide range of products available to us to meet
service and demands requested by our clients i.e. in regard to wear resistance, pressure ratings, tensile strength,
bending capabilities and so on.

In general the Rubber Dredge Hoses consist out of an inner lining adjusted to the specific requirement of
transported media.
Wear indicator layers can be implemented in the dredge hoses which transport abrasive media.
A textile reinforcement of high tensile strength will control the pressure resistance of the dredge hose as well as
the tensile strength.
Where as the outer cover is built up by a rubber compound highly resistant against weathering, UV lights and
Ozone.
On special request the outer cover can be built with oil resistant materials.

Dredge hose end fittings are available in a wide variety which are selected on duty requirements.
