Essential Couplings for Mining & Quarrying
Hose and pipe couplings are essential components in the mining and quarrying industry as they allow fluid systems to operate safely, whilst being used in some of the harshest environments.
Vibration, impact, pressure fluctuations and exposure to corrosion, couplings must provide trusted leak free connections, reducing the risk of halting production and damaging equipment and preventing environmental hazards.
Fast Drainage, Zero Leaks
Quick release couplings are widely used in the mining and quarrying industry, for the transfer of water, slurry and wastewater. When groundwater and rainwater must be removed from sites as quickly as possible to ensure the safe operations can continue, quick release couplings like genuine Bauer allow the quick and easy connect/disconnect of hose assemblies whilst also providing the reliability of a leak free connection.
These hose assemblies can be dragged along very abrasive grounds so they must be able to withstand the toughest of conditions.
High Pressure Air Solutions for Mining & Quarrying
High pressure air is essential in mining and quarrying for pneumatic tools, rock drilling, blasting, dust suppression and ventilation. IHP manufactures Maclock couplings for high pressure air compressors, delivering secure, full-flow connections for compressed air, inert gas, water and utility lines. The locking ring on the male coupling prevents accidental disconnection, whilst zinc plated steel or 316 stainless steel construction ensures robust durability.
Operations Include:
- Air supply systems
- Water suction & discharge
- Abrasive material handling
- Chemical and fuel transfer
- Ventilation and dust extraction
