Applications
Bow Blowing Hose Sets:
Essential for marine vessel operations, these hose sets inject high-pressure air through bow thrusters to clear silt, seaweed, and debris from seawater intakes and sea chests. Critical in sediment-heavy harbors, tropical algae zones, and river estuaries where clogged filters risk engine failure. Their saltwater-resistant construction (reinforced rubber/steel braid) withstands corrosive ballast discharge, tank cleaning, and emergency bilge pumping. Vital for dredgers, offshore supply vessels, and tankers operating in clog-prone waters. Advanced models feature quick-release flanges for rapid deployment during tidal changes or urgent maintenance, ensuring continuous cooling system flow and compliance with SOLAS safety standards.
Features
(1) With high tensile strength.
(2) Excellent flexibility, can bend to 360° in any direction.
(3) It has sufficient buoyancy and can float in the water on its own.
(4) There are obvious markings on the external surface of the Head Float for easy identification and safe operating.
On new Trailing Suction Hopper Dredgers In China, the functions of the Head Float and the Buoyancy-free Hose are combinedby using a new half-floating hose as A Hose instead. In comparison, this solution reduces the manufacturing cost, but alsoreduces the bending performance of the Bow Blowing Hoses Set, and the hose set with a half-floating hose is not as soft andflexible as using a Head Float and a Buoyancy-free Hose combination.
