Single arch rubber expansion joint designed for high pressure and abrasive slurry pipeline applications.
Double arch rubber expansion bellow providing increased axial, lateral, and angular movement compared to a single arch design.
Triple arch rubber expansion bellow offering maximum flexibility and movement for applications with large thermal expansion and misalignment.
Quad arch rubber expansion bellow offering maximum flexibility and movement for applications with large thermal expansion and misalignment.
Short length flexible mining hose joints designed to absorb vibration and reduce stress in rigid slurry pipeline systems.
When you’re operating abrasive, high-pressure slurry pipelines, standard rubber expansion joints simply aren’t designed to withstand the demands of the application. Abrasor slurry expansion joints are custom manufactured to absorb thermal expansion, vibration, pressure fluctuations, and pipeline movement while delivering exceptional reliability in the harshest operating environments.
Every Abrasor expansion joint is manufactured in Australia using premium locally sourced materials and backed by our ISO 9001-certified quality management system. Unlike general purpose imported expansion bellows, our range is specifically developed for abrasive slurry and high-pressure pipeline applications, delivering exceptional durability.
We understand the challenges of managing shutdowns, expansions and critical project deadlines. With one of the largest mining hose manufacturing capacities in Australia, we have the production capacity to manufacture everything from urgent replacement expansion bellows to large project quantities. Our dependable manufacturing processes ensure consistent quality, reliable lead times, and on-time delivery.
Selecting the right rubber expansion joint requires careful consideration of operating pressure, movement, temperature, slurry characteristics, and flange configuration. With over 100 years of combined industry experience, our team works closely with customers to ensure every expansion bellow is manufactured to suit the exact operating conditions, maximising reliability and service life.
They absorb thermal movement, vibration, and misalignment, protecting equipment and extending system life.
Depends on size and design—typically from a few millimetres up to 100 millimetres in axial, lateral, or angular movement.
Service life depends on slurry abrasiveness, velocity, and operating conditions. High quality hoses expansion joints such as Abrasor in well-designed systems can last months to several years.
Yes. Our Abrasor expansion joints are specifically manufactured for abrasive slurry handling and high-pressure pipeline applications.
Hand-built expansion joints can be customised for pressure, size, and slurry applications, while moulded joints are limited to standard designs and non-abrasive applications.
Filled arch expansion joints are designed for abrasive slurry applications, preventing material build up within the arch to reduce wear and minimise turbulence. Unfilled arch expansion joints provide greater flexibility but are more susceptible to premature wear in slurry service.
