Description
HDPE Pipe Floater - Dredging Pipeline Buoy
What It Is
An HDPE pipe floater is a two-half clamshell buoy moulded from 100% virgin polyethylene that clamps around a dredging or discharge pipe and is closed with steel bolts, so the pipeline floats without being cut or welded. This OBOR model is orange, round in section, and offered with outer diameters of 500-1600 mm, inner diameters of 160-1050 mm, lengths of 800-2500 mm and wall thickness of 5-10 mm. It is produced in Shandong, China, and mould-opening service is available for non-standard pipe sizes.
What It Does
Each floater adds buoyancy at a fixed spacing along the line, holding the pipe at the water surface so slurry can be pumped over long distances without sinking or kinking. The closed-cell PE shell is light, impact resistant and does not corrode in salt or fresh water; the bolted two-half design lets crews fit or replace a float in minutes while the pipeline stays in service. The smooth rounded body sheds debris and reduces drag in current.
Where It Is Used
The applications recorded for this model are dredging and marine work: floating discharge lines for cutter-suction and trailer dredgers, sand and slurry transfer across rivers, lakes and harbours, and temporary floating pipelines for land reclamation and aquaculture water exchange.
