Despite the high performance and flexibility features of the Composite Hose which is popular in the shipping and storage industries fluid transfer processes, it is still prone to damage at the critical termination point causing over-flexing and bending of the hose in the area between the hose wall and the end connection area. This issue reduces the life of the Composite hose.
Dantec's Composite Hose Bend Limiter Dan Pro~Tec BL is designed to eliminate this issue and increase the life of composite hoses. This innovative product fixes to the outside of the composite hose on the first string at the Tank or shipside adding support to the hose, eliminating the overflexing and bending concern.
The BL removes the strain from the fixed transition area and allows the hose to bend naturally further down the hose. The BL made from polyurethane, flexes with the hose while taking the strain and relaxes again once the hose is relaxed.
There is no requirement for it to be permanently fixed on one hose so it can be easily moved about and remounted on whichever hose is in use.
The product is trialled in 2 major UK storage companies and performed extensive extreme over-flexing, bending and even half-ton strain tests.
Available in 6“ for Jetty hoses
