Trellex Hose System
Trellex Hose
Supplied in two types
Trellex Slurry Hose for hydraulic pressure and suction service
of abrasive slurries containing particles of up to 20 mm in
size, and Trellex Bulk Hose for pneumatic service of abrasive
powders and chips of up to 30 mm in size.
Trellex Slurry Hose and Trellex Bulk Hose are both reinforced
with polyester cord and a fully embedded spiral of galvanized
steel wire. The safety factor against bursting is 3.2 times the
working pressure. A smooth outer cover with a fabric texture
ensures good resistance to wear and weather.
Thick, smooth-walled wear tubes provide low resistance to
flow and extremely long life.
Together with the Trellex Coupling and the Trellex Gasket,
these hoses form a highly reliable system that retains full flow
area with no turbulence at the joints. Spot wear and leaks are
eliminated.
Utilizing the Trellex Hose System to its full potential will keep
your plant cleaner and further reduce costs by increasing mill
availability. Limiting the use to bends only will also limit
the extent to which the Trellex Hose System can work to your
advantage.
Trellex Slurry Hose for hydraulic applications has a NR wear
tube of Trellex 40 rubber. The hose withstands operating
temperatures of up to 60-70° C.
Trellex Bulk Hose for pneumatic applications has a SBR wear
tube of Trellex 60 rubber. The hose withstands operating

Trellex 3xD Bends
Trellex 3xD Bends are intended for use in cramped spaces
where the Trellex Hose cannot be sufficiently curved, or e.g.
as feed spouts for magnetic separators or other similar equip-
ment. They are available both as 90° and 45° bends, and are
supplied in two types.

coupling is fitted to the new hose.
– Compatible with all major flange drilling standards.
The coupling does not have to fit any specific pattern on the
hose cover. It is simply rotated around the hose until it is
aligned with the connecting flange. There is no need to rotate
the hose itself.
The coupling is designed for fast, simple fitting.
Neither special tools or skilled personnel are needed. Each
coupling is delivered with bolts for the side flanges, square-
headed to prevent them from turning.
No other bolts are provided.
The Trellex Split-Flange Coupling is compatible with all major
flange drilling standards.

Trellex Gasket
The tapered Trellex Gasket is designed for use with Trellex
Hoses and Bends. Together with the Trellex Coupling, this gas-
ket will give leak-proof, full bore joints.
The Trellex tapered gasket is reinforced with a steel insert,
which makes it stiff and allows it to be pushed inside the hose,
guided by the same inside bore that you want to match.
To complete one full joint between two hoses, two couplings
and two gaskets are required.
When tightened against the connecting flange, the inside
tube of the hose will be pressed up against the outside slope
of the gasket. The slurry itself will quickly wear the inside of
the gasket flush with the hose, leaving a full-bore transition,
free of turbulence.
It is the inner diameter of the hose that will correctly position
the gasket in the centre of the bore. For hose

A reducer provides a transition between pipes or hoses with
different diameters to compensate for change in flow rate.
Taper of less than 2 x 8° ensures smooth flow with no tur-
bulence. Short, standard length. Fully flanged for fast, easy
replacement. Flanges are steel-reinforced and drilled to all
