SR_BLOG_01_TUFFTUBE-1These cold, dark months provide the perfect opportunity for planning and strategizing for next spring. What’s on your list for repairs or replacements? For industries that move a lot of grain, sand, seed, fertilizer, or other small particles, metal spouts are often on the “replace” list for the coming season. But what if they didn’t have to be? What if there was a way to protect your metal spouts from the abrasion caused by millions of tiny pieces being processed day after day? We created Tuff-Tube to solve exactly that problem.

What is Tuff-Tube?

In less than one season, abrasion from small particles can completely destroy an unprotected steel spout. The Tuff-Tube is a urethane liner that is designed to significantly reduce the abrasion of grain, seed, and fertilizer handling, extending the life of your equipment. It protects your valuable machinery – and your bottom line!

Why Trust Tuff-Tube?

  • It’s easy to install. There’s no need to remove your spout, and there’s no need for tools! The Tuff-Tube simply slides into the existing spout and is held in place by a tapered leading edge at the top of the spout. This also serves to keep particles from slipping between the spout and the liner.
  • It ships fast. We keep many standard sizes (up to 24” diameter and in lengths of up to 20’) of Tuff-Tube in stock at all times, because it’s one of our most in-demand products. Turnaround times are quick, and we pride ourselves on accurate shipping estimates.
  • It lasts a long time. Gone are the days of replacing your spouts every season. The Tuff-Tube provides extensive abrasion resistance, and it can be rotated 120-180 degrees to present additional wear surfaces.
  • It’s built to work. We manufacture Tuff-Tube using our proprietary urethane blend, Endurawear. The unique properties of Endurawear mean you never have to worry about buckling, cracking, peeling, or plugging issues.

This Spring, the best thing you can do for your business is to order Tuff-Tube spout liners. Save yourself the headache of liners that don’t perform and save yourself the money you once spent on replacing expensive machinery. Give us a call today for a quote on the Tuff-Tube!
