Crossover Ball Joint

The patented Crossover Ball Joint is similar to the Classic Ball Joint but features two improved, replaceable inner liners that are streamlined to ensure optimal flow of the dredge mixture through the joint.

This design reduces resistance in the flow compared to the Classic ball joint in any tilted position. The optimal flow conditions and reduced flow resistance lead to significant cost savings in fuel and wear, often resulting in a very short return on investment.

Benefits

  • CFD-Optimized Design: Achieves the lowest flow resistance, reducing friction and pressure losses.
  • Less Fuel Consumption and Emissions: Results in more efficient operation.
  • Increased Lifetime: Reduced wear compared to the Classic Ball Joint.
  • Internal Protection: Two replaceable liners prevent direct wear on the ball.
  • Bidirectional Flow: Fully lined interior allows flow in both directions.
  • Accurate CNC Machining: Ensure proper fitting and interchangeability between ball joints.
  • Durable Gland Ring: Made from high tensile steel for added strength.
  • Weld-On Attachment: Provides a secure connection to the dredge pipe.
  • Improved Locking Plate: Ensures reliable and secure operation.
  • Flexible Flange Fittings: Available with flanges of any size.

The VOSTA Crossover Ball Joint is a bayonet-type connection that links two dredge pipes, allowing an angle of up to15 degrees and working pressures up to 32 bar. These joints are available in a range of dredge pipe diameters:
