Flexible Rising Main FLEXIBORE 400
If It Is a Bore Think FLEXIBORE
Flexibore 400 is a high-quality layflat hose manufactured for use with submersible pumps. Its revolutionary flexible design simplifies bore water pumping replacing cumbersome rigid pipe. Flexibore 400 is manufactured by weaving a textile reinforcement of high-tensile polyester and extruded with hydrolysis-resistant polyurethane. The woven polyester fabric gives the hose a high burst pressure for ultra-deep well pumping. It is designed to handle the weight of the pump and water up to 400 m deep. Secure couplings are easily attached on-site. A coloured strip with intermittent loops runs along the hose length every half meter. This allows for the secure attachment of the power cable and prevents its possible rubbing against the bore casing.
Flexibore 400 can swell up to 10%, making it extremely efficient in reducing pumping costs and friction loss. By dilating under pressure, no internal build-up of iron bacteria occurs, as seen with rigid pipe use such as steel or fibreglass. Proudly manufactured in Australia by Crusader Hose, Flexibore® 400 is made to suit deep bore water pumping applications. It is manufactured in a large range of diameters from 76 mm to 152 mm and is available in continuous lengths of up to 400 m. Each roll is fully tested at our factory prior to despatch.
Fittings are not included with the hoses.Fittings to be purchased separately.
FLEXIBORE 400 Compatibility FLEXIBORE 400 will suit many borehole applications and is compatible with most submersible pumps. The sizes range from 76mm to 152mm internal diameter and depths up to 400 metres.
Easy Installation Once in the field, Flexibore is attached to the pump with the patented couplings. The pump, with hose and cables attached, is lowered into the bore using either a simple rolling wheel or a crane. Flexibore is manufactured in continuous lengths and can be installed with less time and labour than rigid systems including poly pipe.
Flexibore Advantages
Flexibore hose is designed to save both time and money and to ensure the project is completed to a high standard. Our unique Flexibore has a number of benefits to the user. This include:
- Deep bore water pumping
- Low cost pumping
- Test pumping
- Rural and industrial bore water retrieval
- Swells – no internal build-up
- Rigorously tested
- Secure couplings
Flexibore Applications
- Mine de-watering
- Domestic and municipal water supply
- Test pumping
- Rural and industrial bore water retrieval
- Similar ground water projects
Potable Water Approved Another major benefit of using Flexibore bore hose is that the hose is potable water approved. Extensive tests have been carried out by the Australian Water Quality Centre and have certified AS4020 approval.
