Inductabend

Why mining operations are partnering with Inductabend for slurry line bends

In Australia’s resource sector, efficiency and longevity are non-negotiable. Many mining operators are moving away from stock-standard pipe bends in favour of tailored solutions — led by innovators like Inductabend. The decision to partner with Inductabend is proving to be a strategic advantage in slurry line applications where performance, safety and cost over time matter most. 

Precision engineering that meets site-specific demands

While standard stock bends offer a convenient solution for many applications, they can sometimes fall short in addressing the specific geometry and wear conditions unique to slurry pipelines.

Inductabend enhances this approach by providing custom-formed bends that precisely match each site’s layout, material and performance requirements. Clients can specify custom radii, bend angles and tangent lengths, allowing each bend to be tailored for optimal fit and function.

In particular, the ability to customise tangent lengths helps reduce the number of butt welds required during installation — streamlining fabrication, improving structural integrity and reducing labour costs. This design flexibility ensures better flow alignment and longer service life, delivering a smarter, more efficient solution for critical slurry systems.

Custom pipe stock held and bent to your specifications

Another key advantage of partnering with Inductabend is the ability for clients to specify unique pipe wall thicknesses or material grades that suit exact wear and pressure requirements.

Inductabend can hold this pipe stock in inventory on behalf of the client, enabling rapid on-demand production of custom bends as needed — particularly valuable during shutdowns or unexpected failures. Each bend can be manufactured to a client-specific inspection and test plan (ITP), ensuring consistent quality, traceability and compliance with client design standards.

This tailored stock-and-make approach not only improves responsiveness but also eliminates the risk of sourcing incompatible or underperforming off-the-shelf elbows when time is critical.

Eliminate excess inventory and downtime

Mining sites that stock generic bends often deal with the hidden cost of over-ordering and underutilisation. By contrast, partnering with Inductabend streamlines procurement.

Custom bends are supplied on demand, fabricated to suit real-world layouts — eliminating guesswork, excess inventory and costly rework. Inductabend’s just-in-time delivery model means operations can maintain leaner inventories without compromising availability, especially for shutdown-critical components.

For mining companies seeking long-term value and reduced operational risk, Inductabend offers more than a product — they deliver engineered certainty. As slurry pipelines become increasingly complex and critical, partnering with Inductabend over stockist-sourced bends isn’t just a preference. It’s a performance decision.
