  • Patent number: 9221625
    Abstract: A conveying pipe for transporting solids includes a pipe body and a pipe collar connected to at least one end of the pipe body. The pipe collar and the pipe end are coupled to each other by an interference fit at least in some sections in a coupling region in a longitudinal direction of the pipe body. In the coupling region, an anaerobically hardening adhesive is optionally arranged in craters or depressions. The conveying pipe is produced by roughening the pipe collar inner surface and/or the pipe end outer surface in a coupling region, cleaning the pipe collar inner surface and/or the pipe end outer surface, applying an anaerobic hardenable adhesive the pipe collar inner surface and/or the pipe end inner surface, and pressing the pipe collar onto the pipe end and/or pressing the pipe end into the pipe collar.

  • Patent number: 7967031
    Abstract: A delivery pipe (1) for the transport of solids is described. The delivery pipe (1) has a double-layer pipe body (2) which has a coupling collar (7, 8) on the inlet-side pipe end (5) and on the outlet-side pipe end (6). A first wear ring (9) and a second wear ring (10) are provided in succession in the longitudinal direction of the pipe body (2) in the region of the inlet-side coupling collar (7). The second inner wear ring (10) has a length (L) which is sized greater than or equal to half the internal diameter (ID) of the pipe body (2). As a result, wear phenomena can be reduced in the inlet-side region of the delivery pipe (1) and the service life of the delivery pipe (1) can be increased considerably.

  • Publication number: 20080191470
    Abstract: The invention relates to pipe bend (1) for a pipeline used in the fluidic transport of solids and to a method for producing the pipe bend. The pipe bend (1) includes a double-layer pipe body (2) comprised of an inner pipe bend (3) and an outer pipe bend (4). A coupling collar (6) is fixed to each pipe end (5) of the pipe body (2). The annular gap (8) between the inner pipe bend (3) and the outer pipe bend (4) is filled with concrete as filler (9). The annular space (8) is filled via a fill opening (10) in the wall (11) of the inner pipe bend (3), with the fill opening extending transversely across the wall and arranged on the inner radius IRi of the inner pipe bend (3). Centering aids (12, 13) are hereby introduced into the ends of the pipe body (2), and the inner pipe bend (3) and the outer pipe bend (4) are positioned in relation to one another by the inflation of the centering aids (12, 13).

  • Patent number: 6494234
    Abstract: A pipe bend for a pipeline for transporting abrasive materials, includes a pair of coupling collars having an outer ring, which has an outer circumferential anchoring groove, and an inner ring secured in the outer ring against axial displacement and made of a more wear-resistant material than the outer ring. Extending between the coupling collars is an arcuate outer pipe portion which is welded at both its ends to the outer rings of the coupling collars, and has a greater inner diameter than the outer rings. Extending at a radial distance to the outer pipe portion between the inner rings of the coupling collars is an arcuate inner pipe portion made of more wear-resistant material than the outer pipe portion and having opposite ends of an inner cross section in coaxial alignment to an inner cross section of the inner rings, for radial support upon the outer pipe portion.
