For over 30 years Teknikum has differentiated from the competition with agile services and offering of the extremely durable CERAMIC smart hoses, wide range of unique lining rubbers, complex rubber lined pipes and customer-specific solutions.

As an example of recent product development, Teknikum brings GREEN & SMART product line to the market. The new hoses include an option of cover rubber compound that includes 60% renewable natural rubber materials of which 15% is recycled. The compound is highly durable and suitable for abrasive materials. It’s designed for Teknikum GRANIT and TITAN Abrasive hoses and CARBON Working hose series. Additionally, Teknikum’s wear and tear resistant inner lining rubber options include up to 80% renewable natural rubber.

The new compounds are developed and tested in Finland in company’s own laboratory in cooperation with technical universities. The testing includes field-testing with selected industrial customers.

GREEN & SMART from the pioneer of CERAMIC hoses

One of the pioneering Teknikum hose products is the flexible but robust CERAMIC hose. The inner lining provides up to 3-10 times the life of a rubber hose or metal tube, depending on the material being transferred. This solution offers sustainable long-life option for transfering granulate substances such as slurry and boiler sand. For example, Finnish power plant Tampereen Sähkölaitos in city of Tampere was able to more than triple the changing period of pipeline. In Poland, similar solutions have been already delivered to various plants dealing with too high maintenance costs.

The sustainable GREEN & SMART hoses are the new innovation from Teknikum, the company focusing on making abrasive material handling easier and maintenance-free.

SMART hoses to level up in process flow management

Teknikum Smart Hose system enables monitoring of wear and tear of inner lining of a hose. The system includes a monitoring device and customer specific Teknikum hose built with monitoring cable. The hose can be selected with rubber or CERAMIC inner lining according to need.

“The system gives a signal when the hose needs to be changed to avoid breakage. Measurement takes place automatically every 60 minutes and a test measurement can be carried out at any time by pressing a button.” Mr. Świeźawski tells about the system.

“Optionally the monitoring is available with single or 1-3 multilayer measurement with several cables built into the hose structure.” Mr. Świeźawski explains. “This system is great for those who want to level up with the planning of maintenance stops and get rid of too frequent ones.”

Safety, innovating and engineering at the core

Teknikum is also known for its innovative Mill Lining products and safe installation services. The company manufactures Steel Top, Rubber and Polyurethane Mill Liners for mills that need grinding result optimizing. The constant problem solving is a core of competence along with wear resistant rubber compounds development and project management.

“In addition to hoses and lining, Teknikum’s services include manufacturing mill lining components with different reinforcements and latest fixing methods. The safe mill lining installation services include supervision, high-quality measurement, and lifetime estimation technologies”, Mr. Świeźawski tells.

“It’s our target to understand each customer’s process needs and deliver fitting solutions.”
