NL8202 is our "heaviest" material handling hose that is used for the transferring of slurry, ore, iron, copper, gravel, rocks, salt, cement, glass, fertilizers, spiney ground fish, and various highly abrasive wet or dry materials in mines or mills (limited resistance to oil-based products). ContiTech Blucor is seen in mines, quarries, plants, and mills around the world and is truly a long lasting, proven product; due to its thick wall, it should be noted that this hose is relatively inflexible (especially in short lengths) and requires a high "effort/force to bend" ratio. Its corrugated cover is designed to fit special external flange fittings with bolts (N8200C) which allow quick, easy connections to be made for full flow/no turbulence and without internal couplings that would quickly wear out. This is a very durable, heavy duty hose that is resistant to weathering, ozone, abrasion, and gouging; it is also a convenient alternative to rubber lined pipe as it can compensate for expansion/contraction, misalignment, easy installation, random lengths, and reduces noise/vibration. Larger sizes of this hose are shipped in straight lengths to maximize container capacity so are limited to 40' or 53' trailer lengths.

Construction: Tube: Smooth, black, 3/8" thick static conductive Pureten. Cover: Corrugated, black Plioflex with blue stripe. Reinforcement: Spiral wire helix between 2 plies of synthetic fabric and a breaker fabric.

Typical Fittings: N8202C- external 150# flanges (N8200C & N8201C compatible in sizes 3"-8" only, not 10"-14"), insert type fittings can wear out prematurely with highly abrasive products. Refer to the Blucor installation manual/video for assembly instructions. This hose is rigid and difficult to bend in short lengths.

Temperature Range: -32°C (-26°F) to +82°C (180°F)

Detail Comments: Service life of material handling hoses may vary depending on the operating conditions, hours of use, and the product being conveyed. Always rotate the hose regularly for even wear and inspect the tube for degradation before use. For larger sizes up to 36" I.D. or custom hoses with built-on ends, contact us for further information. 2" Size is not available in genuine ContiTech Blucor, refer to NL8200 SlurryMax.

Cut Method: Sawzall or Hacksaw & Side Snips for Wire-Wear Safety Gloves
