Introducing the Tuff-Tube®- Urethane Spout Liner

   In the agriculture industry abrasion is one of the biggest enemies in spouting applications. The constant flow of grain, seed and fertilizer handling can significantly wear on your spouting causing downtime and loss of production. In many instances grain can get in-between the liner and spout causing buckling, plugging and peeling issues. In a season or less the constant abrasion will ruin your spouts.
Sioux Rubber & Urethane has developed and patented a urethane lining system called the Tuff-Tube®. The Tuff-Tube® can significantly reduce the abrasion and wear on your urethane spouting applications. It is your answer to high maintenance costs and the constant replacement of steel spout.
So you might be thinking what makes the Tuff-Tube so different from the competitors?

  1.  The Tuff-Tube® is produced using high quality polyurethane. Polyurethane has ideal characteristics and physical properties in extreme wear, abrasion resistance, tear resistance, resistance to water, oil and grease, flexibility and noise reduction.
  2.  This is a seamless spouting system that prevents objects from getting in-between the liner and spout preventing buckling, plugging and peeling issues. Our lined spout elbows have a permanently bonded liner that matches up to the Tuff-Tube® liner for total spout protection.
  3.  Ease of installation. The Tuff- Tube® is a seamless spouting system. No need for bolts and messing around with urethane sheets to bend to size. The Tuff-Tube® slips in and cut to size.
  4.  Worn liners can be rotated 120°-180° to present addition wear surface. Completely used liners can be removed and replace using the same spouting. Bolt in urethane sheets from the competition only allows for one wear surface where the Tuff-Tube® can be rotated for additional wear surface.5.
  5. Keep you productivity running. Replacing your urethane spout liners is usually time sensitive and creates significant down time. We recognize that fact and pride ourselves in getting your product to you on-time. When you get your quote or place your order, you will know when we expect to have the Tuff-Tube® completed and ready for shipment.
