Ring Floater

A pipe floater ring, also known as a pipe float, dredge float, or pipeline buoy, is a specialized buoyancy device designed to support pipelines and hoses on the surface of water. These essential components are critical in industries where materials like sand, slurry, sludge, or water need to be transported across lakes, rivers, harbors, and coastal areas.

Ring Floater Introduction

The pipe floater ring is a fundamental and non-negotiable piece of equipment for any operation involving floating pipelines. It provides the essential buoyancy, protection, and visibility needed to ensure projects are completed safely, efficiently, and with minimal environmental impact.

The hull of floater ringis made from medium density polyethylene material with excellent flexibility, filled with high strength polyurethane foam inside. With reasonable structure and good performance, the MDPE floater becomes the ideal substitution of the traditional steel floater for the floating dredging pipes.

Structure of Floater Ring

No.	Structure Name	Material
1	Polyethylene Hull	Polyethylene
2	Hard Polyurethane foam core	Closed-cell Polyurethane
3	Steel Bolts	Metal

Main features of Floater Ring:

1. Good flexibility, excellent impact resistance, particularly suitable for constructions in open sea.

2. Light weight, easy to install and handle, lower costs for moving.

3. Higher corrosive resistance, longer working life, 3 times longer than steel floaters.

4. Lower costs, the cost performance is better than steel floaters.

Remarks of Floater Ring:

1. 2 pieces of floaters form 1 set, 2 sets of floaters form 1 pair. 1 pair of floaters could float 6 meter long steel dredging pipe and 1.5m long rubber hose.

2. The floaters under the size of O.D4m*L4m are all available.
