The suction hose is used with dredger for silt/gravels conveyance. It sucks up the mixture of silt and water using negative pressure.
Mostly used with these hoses are the rubber flange/steel backing flange and the Double Action flange. They can be supplied in any size, and depending on application, with 100% vacuum capability and high implosion pressures.
For use with gimbals and in the ladder of cutter dredgers we can equip them with small bending radius suction hoses.
