hdpe pipe for mineral and coal processingHdpe Mining Pipe For Mining Applications

Oxford Plastics manufactures hdpe pipe for a host of drainage and processing applications in the mining industry. As containment pipe, collector, overflow, culvert or drainage pipe for coal and mineral processing, our smooth wall corrugated pipe is the best there is. When you think about piping for mining applications, the material that flows through the pipe is not as important as the pipe itself. When it comes to the mining industry we are talking about some of the most caustic and aggressive materials you will ever find. Corrosive chemicals, acids, salts and abrasive soils require a piping solution that does more than just serve as a passage way. You want a pipe that is easy to install and will last forever.

Advantages of HDPE Mining Pipe
Polyethylene or HDPE pipe has a lot going for it. It's light weight, flexible, durable, leak tight, and can withstand any corrosive chemical, acid or salt that you care to imagine. These features make it ideal for conveying the aggressive materials that are associated with the mining industry. There is one more significant advantage.

slurry transfer pipeWhat makes hdpe pipe so popular as a conveying or drainage pipe is its combination of excellent hydraulics, surge resiliency, and overall strength and toughness. The smooth interior of hdpe pipe promises low resistance to fluid flows even at high flow velocities. High tolerance to pressure surge and water hammer demonstrate its overall strength and toughness. But when you combine these features with low installation and maintenance costs, your choice is clear. Using trenchless technologies like directional horizontal drilling to install your pipe and joining methods like heat fusion means a savings you won't regret.

Applications of HDPE Mining Pipe
HDPE pipe can be used for a variety of mining applications including water transfer, coal washing, general mineral processing, sluice and slurry transfer. Our pipe was specifically developed to meet the unique requirements of hard rock and specialty mining operations. It offers safe, easy to install, economical fabrications for air separation structures, manways and mineways, raise bore linings, reclaim tunnels, drifts, conveyor covers and many other uses. Our piping products easily handle severe conditions for mine portals, rock fall protection and stockpile tunnels. Hdpe pipe is often used in mineways, shafts, tunnels, gangways and bins. The tough corrosion-resistant qualities of hdpe pipe makes it ideal for all types of culvert, sewer and subdrainage needs in mining applications, both above ground and below.

mining drainage pipeHDPE pipe is excellent for mining applications because of the following characteristics: Scratch Tolerant, Chemically Resistant, Readily Installed, Small to Large Diameter Sizes, Non-toxic and Non-tasting, Lightweight, Economical, Corrosion Resistant, Zero Leak Rate, Hydraulically Smooth, Fatigue and Surge Resistant, Longevity, Heat-Fused Joints, Strong and Ductile, Durable, Abrasion Resistant, Inert, Self Restrained, Monolithic, Flexible, Weather Resistant, Impact Resistant, Freeze Resistant, Reliable and Available.
