Social responsibility
NORRES Schlauchtechnik has a long history of responsible behaviour towards the society we live in. We frequently participate in activities that benefit charitable organisations. We are extremely keen to support projects that help the socially disadvantaged, especially when they involve children. We also make an active contribution towards environmental protection.
NORRES Schlauchtechnik makes regular donations to “Noah's Ark”, a charity that describes itself as “a children’s hospice in the region and for the region”. The Ark’s concept, which is the only one of its kind anywhere in Germany, defines two main functions: to offer a haven for incurably ill children and to act as a short-term care centre for youngsters with severe disabilities. The aim is to assist the families concerned by providing professional care and respite for children and teenagers in the Noah's Ark centre. NORRES traditionally makes a donation to this deserving cause at Christmas.
At NORRES, all people are equal. All our staff benefit from the same opportunities. Their ethnic origin, religion, social background, age, sex or disabilities are considered to be irrelevant. NORRES maintains close links with a centre for handicapped people. Disabled staff carry out their work directly on the NORRES site and are therefore fully integrated in the life of the company.
The sustainable use of natural resources is firmly entrenched in NORRRES Schlauchtechnik's daily work processes. The move to our new “Am Stadthafen” facility coincided with extensive investments in eco-friendly production and HVAC technologies. Efficient insulation, double glazing, centrally controlled air conditioning with water chillers and production utilising heat recovery mean optimal protection for the environment. Since taking possession of the new and completely refurbished plant at the port of Gelsenkirchen in 2009, NORRES has succeeded in reducing the consumption of water, electricity and heating fuel dramatically – despite an almost fourfold increase in floor space.

The CONNECT 230 safety clamp system meets the reinforced polyurethane hose AIRDUC® PUR 356 MHF Reinforced
Reusable and fast and easy to assemble
It’s not in the test phase. What can be said instead about the efficient connection provided by the NORRES CONNECT 230 safety clamp system with the abrasion-resistant reinforced version of the AIRDUC® PUR 356 MHF suction and conveyor hose is that this is a tried-and-true stabile solution offering numerous benefits that is not designed to last forever. This safety clamp system has been developed and patented by NORRES and proudly features tangible benefits including a reusable connection and fast, easy assembly. In combination with the extremely abrasion-resistant AIRDUC® PUR 356 MHF Reinforced hose it provides top efficiency, for instance in the transport of bulk goods. NORRES’ CONNECT product line augments the overall NORRES connection parts product range, which has grown to extend from customary fast normal fittings to high-quality aseptic unions for the most stringent requirements in applications for the pharmaceuticals industry.
Tight connection and efficiency – even under heavy pressure
With the CONNECT 230 safety clamp system in combination with its ideal partner, the AIRDUC® PUR 356 MHF Reinforced hose, you can count on the fact that even heavy pressure will not break the connection. It additionally prevents pressure losses, saving you energy costs. The standard connection fittings also offer customers efficiency and cost savings. One reason for this is that the patented CONNECT 230 safety clamp system is reusable as well as easy and fast to assemble. The system can be connected to the accustomed tanker, Kamlok and knuckle couplings found virtually everywhere. The hose connector features external threading and customers can choose between light metal, steel or stainless steel for its material. The safety clamps are made of light metal. Like the other products from this product family, the CONNECT 230 safety clamp system is also electrically conductive because the hose line can easily be earthed in accordance with the TRBS 2153 standard (formerly BGR 132).
Great durability and extremely abrasion-resistant – for the tough jobs
Together with the benefits of the patented CONNECT safety clamp system, we also recommend the extremely abrasion-resistant AIRDUC® PUR 356 MHF suction and conveyor hose in the reinforced version for tough jobs. Its targeted reinforcement underneath the wire and its low level of hose pitch give the hose abrasion-resistance that is up to five times higher than that of most rubber materials. In this combination with the AIRDUC® PUR 356 MHF Reinforced hose, the CONNECT safety clamp is the right connection for loading and unloading silo vehicles. Solids such as food products, flour, grains or even cement can be safely and quickly conveyed. It is additionally possible to make the conveyance process visible. This profile hose features a spring steel wire fully incorporated into its walls, and thanks to its extremely high level of abrasion-resistance its durability far exceeds that of hoses made of rubber or soft PVC. In addition, the hose’s smooth interior ensures that very little conveyor goods residue can accumulate. An additional advantage is its low-impact transport method, making it suitable even for the conveyance of food products. This patented safety clamp system from top quality supplier NORRES additionally includes a plasticiser and halogen-free hose quality. The earthing of the hose’s spiral makes the hose electrically conductive in accordance with the provisions of TRBS 2153. This ensures that electrostatic charges and disruptions are prevented in the conveyance process. This polyurethane hose additionally features resistance to oil, petrol, chemicals, UV and ozone. The AIRDUC® PUR 356 MHF Reinforced hose can be deployed in the temperature range from -40 ° C to approximately +90 ° C, and for short periods even up to + 125 ° C.
