Ensure reliable performance and minimise downtime with our hydromining solutions.
Problem Context
Hydromining demands extremely high-pressure, high-volume water supply systems to feed water cannons and dislodge tailings. The system requires both robust pipelines to maintain water pressure over long distances and flexible hose connections to allow for cannon movement. Layflat hose relies on external couplings that are prone to leaks and blow-outs under pressure. Its lightweight construction also makes it unsuitable for the harsh ground conditions and heavy-duty requirements typically found on mine sites.
Technical Challenge
Water cannons operate under constant movement and extreme pressure. Standard off the shelf water hoses are not designed for this duty, often kinking, leaking, or bursting under high pressure. End retention becomes a critical failure point when pressure is applied suddenly or when the line is hard-closed. The hoses also need to withstand being repositioned or dragged, often by dozer requiring exceptional robustness and abrasion resistance.
Our Solution
Abrasor® XW10 Hard Wall Water Hose: Designed for high-pressure water transfer, this hose is ideal for feeding hydromining cannons. It provides the flexibility required to accommodate cannon movement while maintaining strength under extreme pressures.
- Slurry Return Lines: Once tailings are mobilised, the resulting slurry can be transported back to the processing plant through a combination of Pacflotech® polyurethane lined steel pipe for straight runs and Abrasor® X10 Mining Hose for areas requiring flexibility, bends, or vibration absorption.
Operational Benefits
Moulded high pressure rubber hoses ensure secure leak free connections, whilst maintaining abrasion and UV resistance to extreme mine site conditions. Durable slurry pipeline systems maximise wear life on transporting slurry back to the plant for processing. As an Australian manufacturer and supplier, we provide complete hydromining hose solutions designed to outperform imported alternatives and withstand the harshest mining conditions.
