Individual rubber pipes for piping systems

Rubber pipes are special components made of rubber for the construction of piping systems.

Together with rubber pipe sections, rubber bends, rubber funnels and special components, they form a system with which complete piping systems can be created. These are mainly used in plants of the chemical industry, mineral and ore processing, mining, in seawater desalination plants and in power stations.

Especially when conveying abrasive materials or requirements with regard to corrosion, you should consider using rubber pipes.
These two criteria are deciding factors for the use of rubber pipes. In contrast to hoses, where the focus is on medium-term, mobile applications, rubber pipes are the long-term, robust alternative to conventional pipelines made of steel or plastic. The decisive goal when using rubber pipes is always to improve plant availability. Used properly, rubber pipes are a decisive plant component in effective overall systems.

Based on many years of experience, we advise and manufacture rubber pipes in many applications of industrial process engineering. If required, we can help with the planning of rubber pipelines, for example if existing pipelines are to be replaced.

Rubber pipes are self-compensating. Due to their special structure, they compensate for thermal expansion in the pipe itself. Longitudinal expansions or shortening due to temperature fluctuations are not noticeable in piping made of rubber. This is a clear advantage over plastic pipes, as rubber pipes do not require the installation of compensators and sliding bearings.

The inner layer of rubber pipes in contact with the product is a seamless solid rubber body up to the largest nominal sizes. Corrosion at seams, which can occur in rubberised steel pipes, therefore does not take place in rubber pipes.

In addition to the higher durability, cost advantages are also offered by the heat and sound insulation of the rubber pipe construction, which often make additional insulation superfluous.

The variety of different piping systems leads to a number of different product variants. We develop and manufacture piping components and systems to meet your individual needs.

Straight rubber tubesfor abrasive materials

The straight rubber pipe offers high installation rigidity and is particularly suitable for piping systems. Customised designs – cylindrical or funnel-shaped – in different sizes and materials are available on request.

Solid rubberPipe bend

The basic construction of bends is the same as that of rubber pipes. However, they do not contain any rigid stiffening inserts. This gives them a certain residual flexibility, which is beneficial, for example, when building piping.

Structure and functionfrom rubber pipes

A pipe is usually vulcanised from several layers of rubber.
The rubber pipe consists of an inner layer (core) and on top of that a carrier material made of a special fabric. On the outside it then has its characteristic cover layer – a layer that serves as mechanical (and chemical) protection and makes the rubber pipes weather-resistant.

We adapt the rubber layer of the pipe (core) that comes into contact with the material to be conveyed to the respective application and use.

For conveying abrasive materials, for example, a particularly elastic rubber compound with a high tear resistance is used. This means that long service lives can be achieved

Depending on the requirements, the structure and composition can vary greatly. With suitable materials, rubber pipes can be produced for almost all requirements.

The pipe is manufactured by us as a freehand article. For this purpose, the rubber is wound on a mandrel and then vulcanised in an autoclave (steam boiler). Vulcanisation is also necessary for single-layer products, as the selected material still has to be chemically cross-linked in order to achieve defined properties. After removal of the mandrel, the pipe is ready for use.

We manufacture rubber pipes according to your wishes and help you to realise your project. We manufacture inner diameters from DN 40 to DN 1,200 with a length of up to 4,000mm.

Standard dimensions as well as individual sizes are possible.

Materialselection

Rubber pipes are particularly suitable for conveying abrasive and corrosive substances and liquids. Rubber pipes are manufactured in various material combinations to suit the individual application.

The rubber pipe consists of an inner layer (core), a carrier material on top and another layer for mechanical and chemical protection on the outside. Depending on the requirements, the structure and composition can vary greatly. The rubber quality of the core as well as its thickness is precisely adapted to the material to be conveyed. Fabrics made of synthetic fibres (nylon cord, Kevlar or polyester fabric) or aramid cord are used as pressure carriers.

Materials with FDA or BfR approvals can be provided for the food and beverage industry. Our EPDM (light grey) is ideal for this purpose. Rubber qualities with electrical conductivity are also available.
