Hoses for the plastics industry – product overview

NORRES; special hoses enable optimal industry solutions, with convincing quality products for the plastics industry. In addition to an extensive portfolio of products tailored to the needs of this highly specific sector, NORRES customers also profit from a special service: the NORRES consulting and service package which is offered as standard. Our customers can now profit from an assembly service which allows complete hose conduits to be configured in six steps and also encompasses various additional services. Our portfolio of hoses for the plastics industry includes the AIRDUC^® PUR 355 AS antistatic multi purpose hose, which is highly abrasion resistant with a permanently antistatic wall. It has TRGS 727 and ATEX 2014/34/EU (1999/92/EC)* certification and is flame retardant according to UL94-V2 and DIN 4102-B1. The patented AIRDUC^® PUR 355 HT high-temperature hose is highly abrasion resistant and ideal for high throughput of warm abrasive powder, bulk material, granulate and warm gases. It can be used at temperatures from -40°C to 125°C (short time to 150°C). BARDUC^® PVC 381 FOOD, which belongs to the NORRES BARDUC^® series, is an equally excellent choice for the plastics industry: this heavy-duty hose has smooth interior and exterior surfaces and is perfect for conveying granulates and powders. The smoothness of the inside permits gentler transport without damaging the material. SIL 391 TWO is a leak-proof, double-layer silicone hose which is designed for temperatures from -70°C to 260°C (short time to 280°C). It is flexible and hence optimally suited for hot and cold gases used in granulate, plastic and hot air dryers.
