Certified hose solutions for the food and pharmaceutical industries
Technical hose systems used in the food and pharmaceutical industries are subject to strict requirements and regulations. In addition, the fields of application of these hoses are diverse. For the different applications with the respective technical requirements product diversity with equally diverse product features is required. Manufacturers of technical hoses and hose systems are also required to combine the best product properties and the requirements for the corresponding approvals in the sector products.
Durable and abrasion-resistant - certified hose solutions
Approvals for the use of various industrial parts have the highest priority in the food industry. The NORRES Group as a manufacturer combines the requirements of the certifications and the best hose properties in its products. This has only recently been proven: The new NORPLAST® PUR 385 FOOD food hose has been on the market since the summer - food safe and smooth on the inside. If the hose is in use, a very high flow rate is achieved, a gentle transport of the material to be conveyed, a low abrasion and thus a longer service life. The wall is certified food safe according to EU Regulation 10/2011 and EC 1935/2004 and the latest EU Regulation 2015/174 as well as FDA FCN 21 CFR 177.1680 and 177.2600. The NORPLAST® PUR 385 FOOD is very flexible and lightweight, which makes it easy to handle. In a temperature range of -20 °C to 70 °C, for a short time up to 80 °C, the NORPLAST® PUR 385 FOOD can be used without problems.
The AIRDUC® PUR-INOX 355 FOOD-AS has a firmly embedded stainless steel wire and is spirally welded. This makes the hose dimensionally stable without restricting the desired flexibility. In heavy design, the hose is highly resistant to abrasion and has increased pressure and vacuum resistance. The AIRDUC® PUR-INOX 355 FOOD-AS is approved by EU Regulation 10/2011 and EC 1935/2004 and the latest EU Regulation 2015/174 by an independent testing institute for the entire hose. The material polyurethane is food safe according to FDA 21 CFR 177.2600. In addition, the hose has the approval according to EU Regulation 10/2011 (food simulant E) and EC 1935/2004.
Tight and efficient - hoses and connectors
The optimum supplement to technical hose systems used in the food and pharmaceutical industry are hose lines and connecting parts. The spectrum ranges from the standard clamp and common fitting - right through to the high-quality aseptic screw connection for the most demanding applications in the food and pharmaceutical industries.
The CONNECT TRI-CLAMP FITTING 245 (based on DIN DIN 32676 and ISO 2852) and the milk pipe connector CONNECT DAIRY FITTING 247 [based on DIN 2826/11851) are used in the food industry and pharmaceutical industry in vacuum conveyors, suction conveyors, dosing systems and tablet presses. The nozzles are RoHS compliant and can be used in a temperature range of -40 °C to 90 °C. High-quality aseptic fittings such as the aseptic socket CONNECT ASEPTIC FITTING 249 (in accordance with DIN 11864-1 / DIN 11864-3) are also used in the food and pharmaceutical industry mainly in vacuum conveyors, suction conveyors, dosing systems and tablet presses.
