Floats 100-300 mm
Sorfan Pipe Floats 100-315 mm – Premium buoyancy systems for industrial dredging
Designed to support heavy discharge pipelines and control cables on the water surface, our professional pipe floats for diameters between 100 and 315 mm (including the top-performing Pipe float 160 mm) are essential for mining, excavation, and dredging applications. High load-bearing capacity and long service life are key advantages of our systems.
Constructed from high-density polyethylene (HDPE) using automated rotational molding, these floats feature a rugged, seamless outer shell with excellent resistance to mechanical impacts, puncture, and saltwater corrosion. The seamless design prevents splitting or water ingress.
Operational efficiency and customized logistics
The symmetrical two-part shell interlocks securely around the pipeline using hot-dip galvanized bolts, ensuring quick assembly and long-term durability. We guarantee reliable buoyancy parameters and organize custom transport logistics across all EU countries to deliver bulk orders directly to your site.

Expert opinion – selecting the right 100-315 mm floats
In aggregate mining and dredging projects, a stable pipeline is the foundation of site safety. Floats with diameters of 100-315 mm must have a buoyancy capacity of at least 150% of the pipe's total mass including the transported media. At Sorfan, we prioritize thick HDPE walls and hot-dip galvanized mounting hardware to prevent abrasion and costly operational delays.
FAQ – Frequently asked questions
Are floats in the 100-315 mm range impact resistant?
Yes. Sorfan floats are made using rotational molding of high-density polyethylene (HDPE). This creates a single-piece, thick wall structure that is highly resistant to heavy impacts.
What is the recommended buoyancy reserve for pipelines?
We recommend a buoyancy reserve of at least 150-200% of the total pipe mass including media, securing stable positioning under wind and wave action.
What material is used for the connecting bolts?
We use only high-grade hot-dip galvanized steel bolts or stainless steel fasteners, ensuring full resistance to corrosion in both fresh and saltwater.
Does mounting the float require specialized tools?
No. Symmetrical pipe floats consist of two half-shells. Mounting them onto the pipe requires only basic wrenches or socket sets (Plug & Play).
Do the floats have UV protection?
Yes. The HDPE material contains built-in UV stabilizers that protect the plastic shell from degradation, cracking, and fading in intense sunlight.
Do you organize international transport?
Of course. As a direct manufacturer, we handle bulk orders and manage dedicated international shipping across all European countries directly to your site.
