Material handling hose for fracking and other oilfield applications is a critical service product. Special proppants (sand with fracking chemicals) are used in the fracking process in order to help keep the hydraulic fractures open. These proppants are transferred by piping, but also flexible hoses. Unisource offers our most abrasion resistant sand transfer hose with a 1/4-inch thick inner tube. The tube is also static dissipating, an important factor when transferring abrasive materials. Sand hoses are used in the delivery of proppants to the fracking site and also in the transfer of material from storage to the well. For a comprehensive explanation of fracking sand and it’s uses, check out Hi-Crush Inc.
Unisource also offers our a hot air blower hose. This hose is used on the delivery truck tanks, transferring hot air to the trailer mounted sand tanks in order to stimulate flow. These hoses are built with a specially formulated EPDM tube and are rated for a minimum of 350 Deg. F. continuous temperature
