Armored Hose

Armored hoses are used in dredging and mining projects around the world and are particularly suited to the safe transportation of mineral ores and slurries which may have sharp interfaces, high volume capacity, heavy specific gravity and high impact loads, such as diamond ore. Integral square steel rings in the armored hoses ensure high dimensional stability and resistance.
