HDPE Dredging Pipe floaters/Floats are made of rotationally molded polyethylene with UV inhibitors to prevent degradation of the floats over time, which has been widely used for dredge work that used for discharging of sands, Sludge.,etc. The pipe floats can provide sufficient buoyancy to maintain the whole dredge pipeline floating above the water. BOYU HDPE Dredging pipe and floats are perfect solutions for dredging works, dewatering, pumping and other industrial projects.
BOYU dredge pipe floater/floats are designed to be applied on HDPE dredge pipe & rubber pipes that be used for dredge works. Each dredge pipe floats are composed by two halves, fixed by bolts/nuts when place two halves on the pipe. The inside diameter of dredge floats shall be designed into a elliptical shape, so they can be fixed with pressure tightly, no slipping while assembled into the pipe.
Structure of Dredge pipe floats/floaters
Outer plastic shell: the pipe floats’ outer shell is made from LDPE, about 5-16mm thickness, which can withstand the impact of sea wave. The outer plastic shell is rotationally moulded in one-time, no second welding jointing, this assure the reliability of for normal use.
Inner filled material: Inside of dredge pipe floats is filled with PU foam. PU foam is very light weight & nonabsorbent material. This assure The dredge pipe floats/floaters can still work in case the outer shell is leaking.
The dredge pipe floater/floats are normally manufactured in orange or yellow color, which is a warning sign for the vessels passing by. Thanks to special design, the Dredge floater/floats can maximum absorb the energy from vessel collision, to protect the pipelines that they are supporting.
