Salem-Republic’s Flexible Rubber Pipe is designed for all types of material handling applications, including dry bulk and slurries. Hose design requirements for dry bulk differ from slurry applications. Salem’s worldwide experience with heavy duty dredging hose gives the company expertise with difficult waterborne materials. Hose for taconite and other ore processing makes it possible to employ tested formulation and fabrication procedures. This eliminates guesswork and assures up to five times longer hose life.
Dry Bulk
Salt, Cement, Fertilizers, Plastics, Rock Dust, Silica Sand, Metal and Wood Chips… moving material to and from truck, rail car, or barge. Food handling: FDA grade for grains, sugar, flour, and other powder granular products.

Custom Wall Thickness
Internal tube and supporting carcass wall thickness is determined based on the nature of specific compounds being handled, total hose diameter, and your service conditions. Salem-Republic’s engineers help make these determinations after getting a description of your hose working environment.[/dt_verticaltab_item][dt_verticaltab_item title=”Reinforcement Options”]
Reinforcement Options
Whether allowing for bends and turns in your process lines, or reinforced to prevent kinking, multi-ply synthetic fabrics and helically wound steel assure maximum tensile strength and ability to withstand movement and vibration in the hose made to your specifications.[/dt_verticaltab_item][dt_verticaltab_item title=”Custom Cover”]
Custom Cover
From wear-resistance to chemical resistance, your hose will be manufactured to meet your specific operating situation based on the nature of specific chemical compounds being handled, and your environment. If required for simple visual identification, hose can be provided with color-coded exterior. Color coding can also include stripes to customize identification tied to your plant safety requirements.
