Loading technology
Loading hoses are used in factory halls and outdoors, in dry and wet weather, in summer and winter.
This means that their functionality must be guaranteed regardless of climatic and thermal stresses. An important requirement when discharging, loading and conveying debris is a fast, smooth process without environmental pollution. In order for loading hoses to meet this practical requirement, they must fulfil a number of technological demands. In detail, these are:
- Ensuring a continuous discharge process
- Dust-free conveying or loading
- All-weather use
- Abrasion resistance even with abrasive materials
- Avoidance of static charge with flammable materials
- Heat resistance with hot materials
- Large stroke, so that even small vehicles and containers can be filled
- Low overall height, guarantees maximum headroom
The precise adaptation to the material to be discharged and the operational conditions ensure uncomplicated handling and a long service life.
Materials
Products are successful when they are maintenance-free and durable. Depending on the type of goods to be loaded, the material is determined. As a rule, leather, textile fabric or plastic films are the starting material. By coating with plastic or laminating with foil, the material properties can be adapted to the intended use. It is important that both the goods to be conveyed and the operational conditions are fully taken into account.
DIMENSIONS
Our loading hoses are manufactured in sizes from approx. 200 mm nominal width, increasing by 50 mm unit of measurement each time, to approx. 2000 mm diameter. Other dimensions are also possible on request.
EXECUTION
To guarantee exact folding, rings made of spring steel wire are sewn in. Additional stabilisation is provided by inverted spiral springs, which guide the tube back without any problems. A stroke ratio of minimum to maximum linear expansion of up to 1:10 is possible.
Double loading hoses with ventilation
This design is used when dust-saturated air impedes the discharge process during the filling of closed containers and cannot escape.
Single loading hose with filter venting
Single loading hoses are sufficient for low dust levels. They are a cheaper solution. The air extracted by a filter escapes into the open like a hoover.
ASSEMBLY
A connection plate is mounted on the silo or conveyor system, which has a nozzle for attaching the loading hose. Installation on this is uncomplicated. A filling cone can be attached to the lower end of the hose, which fits into the openings of the silo vehicles and containers.
AREAS OF APPLICATION
Loading hoses are used to discharge, load or convey small-sized, granular and powdery, hot and abrasive goods. The main users are cement factories,
chemical plants, milling plants, malting plants, concentrate manufacturers, salt and coal mines, coal-fired power plants, companies in the food industry and many more.
