At Fox Global, we continue to deliver tailored hose, valves, and fittings solutions to some of Australia’s toughest industries. One of our latest shipments includes a large batch of 6-inch, 4-inch, and 3-inch Heavy Duty Hydrovac Hoses fitted with Travis fittings, now heading to Northern NSW power station shutdowns.
This equipment is engineered for the demands of heavy-duty bulk material suction and delivery, offering reliability and performance where it matters most.
The Role of Heavy Duty Hydrovac Hose
The Hydrovac Hose is a crucial component in bulk material handling and vacuum excavation. Built for resilience, it is designed to withstand the transfer of highly abrasive materials such as gravel, sand, and cement while maintaining operational flexibility. It is equally suited for use as a boom hose in vacuum excavation applications.
Key Technical Specifications
- Application: Heavy duty suction and delivery of bulk abrasive materials
- Temperature Range: -40°C to +70°C
- Tube: Thermoplastic alloyed blend of polyurethane and PVC (static dissipating/static conductive)
- Reinforcing: Rigid high-density PVC helix
- Cover: Thermoplastic alloyed blend of nitrile, polyurethane, and PVC (non-conductive)
- Features: Highly abrasion resistant, built for longevity
- Safety Factor: 3:1
These characteristics make the Hydrovac hose a site-proven solution for industries that demand performance under tough and variable conditions.
Why Travis Fittings?
When paired with Travis fittings, the Heavy Duty Hydrovac Hose reaches another level of functionality. Travis fittings are engineered for durability and secure connections, critical in suction and delivery applications. Key advantages include:
- Robust construction – built to withstand high pressures and abrasive environments.
- Ease of use – designed for quick, safe assembly and disassembly.
- Compatibility – suited to a wide range of hose diameters and industrial applications.
The combination of Hydrovac hose with Travis fittings ensures seamless operation, reducing the risk of downtime during demanding shutdown operations.
Supporting Northern NSW Power Stations
During power station shutdowns, reliability is non-negotiable. Each hour of downtime has significant operational and financial impacts. By supplying fit-for-purpose hose assemblies, Fox Global supports maintenance crews with the equipment they need to work safely and efficiently.
The bulk suction and delivery performance of our Hydrovac hoses makes them ideal for handling debris, slurry, and other abrasive materials commonly encountered in shutdown operations. Backed by wire-reinforced construction and abrasion-resistant materials, they are engineered to perform under pressure.
