Grain handling ducting

[Northdowns Martin]

When our grainstore handling equipment was fitted the ducting used was 7" or 180mm. Problem we now have is the connections, bends and radius were installed using rubber tubing which is worn out. Endless rolls of duct tape have no more surfaces to stick to. Can anyone suggest where we might find more tubing or an alternitive? We have tried using the flexible spiral hosing without any luck.

We tend to have any high wear ductings/bends/corners made to measure, with extra thick hard-ox steel added in places if necessary.

I'd try these guys

We have a pair of the flex pipes coming down through a roof, which have a high annual throughput and were upgraded to a very tough material and seem to work ok, but it wasn't cheap.
