Abrasion Resistant Products
In the demanding world of bulk material transportation, where abrasion poses a constant threat to equipment longevity, having reliable and durable products is essential. SandHog, an American-based manufacturer, has carved a niche for itself by offering abrasion resistant solutions that stand out in the market. In this blog, we will delve into some of SandHog’s flagship products that not only combat abrasion but also proudly boast the “Made in the USA” tag.
BTI’s SandHog Hopper Tee: The Toughest Tee on the Market
The SandHog Hopper Tee is a game-changer when it comes to handling highly abrasive materials. Unlike conventional abrasion-resistant tees, this innovative product is specially designed to endure extreme wear conditions, projecting a lifespan twice as long as its counterparts. Frac sand and other abrasive materials have historically wreaked havoc on tank trailer hopper tees, wearing through downstream radii like a hot knife through butter. The SandHog Hopper Tee, however, takes a different approach.
Patented Design and Duralron™ Alloy
The tee incorporates patented design features, including a ledge that catches abrasive materials during discharge. This ingenious design utilizes the material itself to protect the downstream radius of the tee, resulting in unmatched abrasion resistance. What sets it apart is the integration of BTI’s Duralron™, a special iron alloy that provides up to twice the wear resistance of traditional tees. The material now wears against itself, ensuring a longer lifespan for the tee.
Available in both bottom drop and straight versions, the SandHog Hopper Tee offers flexibility to cater to various operational needs.
SandHog Super Elbow: Guaranteeing Satisfaction and American-Made Quality
Another standout product from SandHog is the SandHog Super Elbow. This elbow boasts a “100% satisfaction or return it” guarantee, emphasizing the manufacturer’s confidence in its durability. Crafted entirely in the USA, this elbow is constructed with BTI’s Duralron™, offering unparalleled wear resistance compared to conventional elbows.
Innovative Design and Material
SandHog Super Elbow incorporates a unique spherical pocket design, trapping a small amount of product during discharge. This clever design ensures that the discharged product wears against itself instead of the fitting wall. Critical wear points, especially at bends, are insulated using the very product being discharged, enhancing the longevity of the elbow.
SandHog BlackMaxx Elbow: Next-Level Wear Resistance
For those seeking even greater wear resistance, SandHog offers the BlackMaxx version of the elbow. This variant introduces a new material that provides an additional 37% wear resistance over the original elbow. Moreover, the SandHog BlackMaxx Elbow features a cathodic epoxy coating, offering ultimate corrosion and chemical protection. The coating excels in providing resistance against salt spray, humidity, and cyclic corrosion.
Configurations and Flexibility
The SandHog Super Elbow comes in two industry-standard cam and groove configurations: female to male and male to female. The standard 45° elbow can also be combined to create a 90° option, providing adaptability to various discharge scenarios.
Summary
In a sector where durability and resistance to abrasion are paramount, SandHog’s range of abrasion-resistant products shines through. The BTI SandHog Hopper Tee and the SandHog Super Elbow, both crafted with BTI’s Duralron™, showcase the manufacturer’s commitment to providing top-tier solutions for the pneumatic tank trailer industry. With a focus on American-made quality and innovative design, SandHog continues to set a high standard for abrasion-resistant products in the market, ensuring that customers can rely on their equipment for longer, more efficient operations.
