HOSES HARNESS

780 945 89 HOSES HARNESS A pressure hose plays a vital role in transmitting hydraulic power or compressed air throughout a drilling rig. These hoses are found in numerous circuits, from the main hydraulic power pack supplying the drifter and feed system, to the lubrication lines, or even within the boom's articulation cylinders. Their primary function is to safely contain and deliver fluid or air at the required operating pressures, enabling the precise control and powerful actions needed for rock drilling.

The integrity of a pressure hose directly impacts both safety and operational efficiency. A failing hose can lead to significant pressure loss, reducing the impact energy of the drifter or slowing down boom movements. More critically, a burst hose poses a serious safety hazard due to high-pressure fluid injection or sudden loss of control. Maintaining these hoses is essential for consistent drilling performance and preventing unexpected downtime, which is costly in underground operations.

Common signs of a failing hose include visible leaks, bulges in the hose wall, cracks in the outer cover, or a noticeable drop in system pressure. Regular visual inspections are crucial to catch these issues early. If a hose shows any signs of wear or damage, it should be replaced immediately. Using the correct replacement hose ensures the system maintains its designed pressure capacity and prevents premature failure, keeping the drill running safely and effectively.
