Product Description

Properties of PE Floaters:

The hull of dredging floaters are made from PE material with good flexibility, and it is filled with high density polyurethane foam inside. With reasonable structure and good performances, the polyethylene dredging floaters are ideal to replace the steel pontoons for the floating discharging pipe.

1. Good flexibility and excellent impact resistance, particularly suitable for the installation in the sea;

2. Light weight, easy for installation and handling, with lower costs for transportation;

3. Corrosive Resistance with longer working life, it could work 3 times longer than steel pontoons.

4. The costs and performances are more economical than steel pontoons.

5. Usually, 2 pieces of floaters are worked for 1 pair, 2 pairs of floaters are worked for 1 group, 1 group floaters could float 6-meter-long steel pipe and 1.5-meter-long rubber hose.

FAQ

Q: How to Select Dredging Pipeline Floaters?

A：The polyethylene floaters are usually used for the dredging projects, land reclamation projects in the world. They are the ideal floating material for pipelines.

When choosing the floaters, we must know the following points:

1.Buoyancy: usually the buoyancy need to be 30% higher than the pipelines weights(including 1.3 ration slurries). When the pipeline working, the floaters above the water surface should be about 1/4 of the height of steel pipes.

2.Weight: no less 3-5% than the ordered goods. The weight of the floaters is related to the hull weight and the foam’s density and volume. The foam density should be about 35kg/m³.

3.Plastify strength: the plasticized well floaters will have a flat and smooth surface without obvious particles, with best tensile strength.

4.Foam’s density: about 35kg/m³，with tensile strength of 0.2 Mpa. There is a little bit flexibility without stick and crisp. The floaters have such properties will be the best and most durable floaters.

Q: The Signal of the orange color of the floater?

A: The orange color of the floaters has following indications:

ensure the floating of the pipelines

Alarm signal: prevent the ships to strike the pipelines

convenient for the maintenance of the pipelines

reduce the installation time, and minimize the maintenance costs
