Crusader Hose Flexibore®

Flexibore® - for simplified bore water retrieval.
Bore water retrieval can be a difficult task and has only recently been simplified with modern flexible hose technology. The revolutionary Flexibore® flexible rising main layflat bore hose ensures simple and effective bore water retrieval and can be installed and retrieved with great ease compared to rigid pipes.

Flexibore® is constructed by integrating thermoplastic polyurethane into a woven textile reinforcement of high tenacity polyester. This gives the hose flexibility and great tensile strength in one continuous length. Since Flexibore® hose can sustain both the submersible pump and water weight, no safety cable is required. Flexibore® is compatible with most submersible pumps and is offered in a range of sizes to suit many borehole applications:

• Flexibore® 100 – available in 1.25" (32 mm) & 2" (51 mm) diameters. Ideal for domestic use and solar pumps; for use in boreholes up to 100 m deep.
• Flexibore® 150 – large diameter 8" (203 mm) & 10" (254 mm) for boreholes up to 150 m deep.
• Flexibore® 250 –range of diameters from 1.5" (40 mm) to 6" (152 mm) for larger submersible pumps in boreholes up to 250 m deep
• Flexibore® 300 & 400 – available in a range of diameters from 3" (76mm) to 6" (152mm). Advanced technical design for ultra- and super-deep bores up to 300 m – 400 m deep

Why Crusader Layflat Hose?
In many fluid transfer applications involving high volumes, the use of layflat hose can overcome limitations inherent to rigid pipes – which can be cumbersome and costly. Rigid pipes made from steel, poly or rubber section can require more joins, welds, machinery and manpower to install.

Crusader Hose layflat hose solutions can be deployed and retrieved quickly plus adapts to varying terrain. Layflat hose also has a small storage and transportation footprint plus low friction loss. Crusader Hose offers a range of layflat hose solutions to suit a wide range of applications:

• Flexidrag® Hose – for high- to low-pressure irrigation hose
• Waterlord® Hose – for mine dewatering applications
• Aqualine™ Hose – for high-pressure potable water bypass applications
• Lancer™ Hose – for temporary potable water bypass
• Petroline® Hose – fuel transfer hose with anti-static wire
• Flexiline™ Hose – for industrial and construction as well as service bypass hose
• Fire Hoses – range of fire hoses available to suit various firefighting applications
• Hose Reel & Winder Systems – for rapid layflat hose handling solutions
• Hose Couplings & Testing Service
