Pipe Systems for Mining:
reliable, efficient, and safe in application
Advantages of PE Pipe Systems for Mining Applications
Flexible PE pipe systems are excellently suited for the hydraulic and pneumatic transport of abrasive bulk materials due to their very low pipe roughness. In addition, flexible, ductile, and corrosion-resistant pipe materials can be installed cost-effectively.
Properties of PE Pipe Systems for Mining
Corrosion resistance
Corrosion causes annual damage amounting to 3% of the gross national product (Source: WCO World Corrosion Organisation). Plastic pipe systems do not corrode and exhibit high resistance to aggressive media. Therefore, they offer high operational reliability, are robust, and yet flexible.
Abrasion Resistance
Due to their low wall roughness and good abrasion resistance, egeplast PE pipe systems are designed for the hydraulic and pneumatic transport of abrasive materials. In addition, flexible, ductile, and corrosion-resistant pipe materials can be installed cost-effectively.
Dissipation of static charge
During the pneumatic transport of dusts and powdered solids and in potentially explosive atmospheres, the electrostatic charging of pipes, containers, and plant components must be avoided through suitable protective measures to ensure the safety of people and the environment. When static charges occur, pipe systems are required that safely dissipate the charge.
