Abrégé

A flexible tube for conveying abrasive materials which has a tubular body extending along a main extension axis is provided. The tubular body has a thickness extending from an inner side wall, which delimits an inner cavity used for transporting abrasive material, to an outer side wall, opposite to the inner side wall along a radial direction, perpendicular and incident to the main extension axis. The tubular body has a covering layer at the outer side wall and an elastomeric matrix at least partially embedding circular disks having a diameter and flat faces, made of ceramic material, namely a first flat face directly facing the inner cavity so as to at least partially form the inner side wall and a second flat face embedded in the elastomeric matrix.

Abrégé

A flexible tube comprises a tubular body made of a curable flexible material, having at least an elbow shape, and made by a double curing, the first on a straight mandrel, and the second on a shaped cylindric core, to provide the tube with a desired configuration. With respect to the conventional art in this field, the invention provides the advantage that the shaped tube made thereby is directly provided, at the end portion thereof, with the required fittings, without the need of performing auxiliary processing steps to clamp the fittings.
