Head Float for Bow Blowing Hose Set

Product Overview

A head float used in bow blowing hose sets to provide buoyancy and support near the coupling and first hose section.

Product Detail

The head float is installed at the front section of the bow blowing hose set, helping support the coupling area and the buoyancy-free hose. It improves hose set visibility, buoyancy balance and operational handling during bow blowing operations.

Features

• Provides buoyancy for the coupling and first hose section
• High tensile strength for bow blowing operations
• Replaceable design to match different buoyancy requirements
• Visible external marking for safe identification
• Supports quick connection and disconnection of the hose set

Technical Parameters

Design Note

Customized specifications are available according to project requirements. Final design should be confirmed based on slurry density, pipeline layout, dredger type, pressure, bending radius and installation conditions.

Applications

Used as the front float in bow blowing hose sets on trailing suction hopper dredgers.

Information Needed for Quotation

• Nominal bore size, overall length and flange standard
• Working pressure, test pressure and suction/vacuum requirement if applicable
• Conveyed material: mud, sand, clay, silt, gravel, coral, ore or other slurry
• Slurry density, solid content, particle size and abrasion condition
• Pipeline arrangement: floating, submerged, shore, deck, pump inlet/outlet or bow blowing
