Dredge pipe floats/floater has been widely used for dredge work that used for discharging of sands, Sludge.,etc. The pipe floats can provide sufficient buoyancy to maintain the whole dredge pipeline floating above the water.
SUNPLAST dredge pipe floater/floats are designed to be applied on HDPE dredge pipe & rubber pipes that be used for dredge works. Each dredge pipe floats are composed by two halves, fixed by bolts/nuts when place two halves on the pipe. The inside diameter of dredge floats shall be designed into a elliptical shape, so they can be fixed with pressure tightly, no slipping while assembled into the pipe.
The Dredge Pipe Floater/Floats are made from high wear resistant LDPE material by rotational molding technology, filled with high strength closed-cell polyurethane foam inside.
Structure of Dredge pipe floats/floaters
Outer plastic shell: the pipe floats’ outer shell is made from LDPE, about 5-16mm thickness, which can withstand the impact of sea wave. The outer plastic shell is rotationally moulded in one-time, no second welding jointing, this assure the reliability of for normal use.
Inner filled material: Inside of dredge pipe floats is filled with PU foam. PU foam is very light weight & nonabsorbent material. This assure The dredge pipe floats/floaters can still work in case the outer shell is leaking.
The dredge pipe floater/floats are normally manufactured in yellow color, which is a warning sign for the vessels passing by. Thanks to special design, the Dredge floater/floats can maximum absorb the energy from vessel collision, to protect the pipelines that they are supporting.
Specification
SUNPLAST can supply various specifications of dredge pipe floats/floaters for choice. The customers can also find a right dredge pipe floats from us based on their dredge pipe.

HDPE Dredge Pipe & Rubber hoses
Normally, the dredge pipe floats are assembled together with HDPE dredge pipe & rubber hoses.
SUNPLAST is a integrated provider of dredge pipeline products:
The dredge pipeline can be supplied with flanges at both ends, available for a diameter of DN110mm to DN1200mm in different wall thickness SDR33-SDR9. The steel flanges normally drilled into EN1092 standard, or as per customer’s request.
Suction/discharging rubber hoses
Rubber hoses are made of strengthen vulcanized rubber, assembled with flanges at both ends. The rubber hose can make the whole pipeline more flexible, and reduce the wobble caused by sea wave.
Rubber hoses can be serviced max. PN15 bars, and can be customized made as per dredge pipe.
SUNPLAST is ready to provide our best quality dredge pipe floats/floater to all customers around the world.
