NORRES hoses for the woodworking industry
Hoses used in the wood industry are exposed to extreme conditions. Continuous operation of the machines is extremely important in professional wood processing. Machines and the follow-up units have to function as perfectly as possible and downtimes must be minimized. In addition, the extraction of abrasive solids, such as wood dust, in the woodworking industry demand high safety requirements from the hoses that are used. For this purpose, the NORRES Group has listed hoses in its product range that meet these special industry requirements.
TIMBERDUC® – The hose solutions for the wood industry
Hoses used in extraction systems in the wood processing industry must be particularly suitable for the throughput of abrasive materials. Since wood dust or wood chips are flammable bulk materials, an antistatic hose must be used for the extraction. During the conveyance, an electrostatic charge can occur due to friction on the wall material, which can be discharged with a spark transition and thus the risk of the wood dust igniting. The NORRES Group has developed and optimized technical hoses that withstand these extreme conditions in the wood industry: the TIMBERDUC® Series. TIMBERDUC® PUR 532 AS or TIMBERDUC® PUR 533 AS, are abrasion-resistant, flame-retardant and antistatic. The abrasion resistance and the associated long life service of both hoses confirm their special suitability. In addition to the functionality, the handling of the mechanical part hose is an important factor in everyday use. The TIMBERDUC® PUR 531 AS also is both highly flexible and low weight. Both features also allow an easy handling and quick assembly at the respective extraction system.
NORRES TIMBERDUC® PUR 531 AS, 532 AS and 533 AS are flame-retardant according to DIN 4102-B1 and do have permanently antistatic wall with an electrical and surface resistance <10⁹ Ω. In addition, these hose types are certified according to TRGS 727 and ATEX 2014/34 / EU.
TIMBERDUC® PUR 532 CNC – Especially for CNC machines
The TIMBERDUC® PUR 532 CNC has been specially developed for use on CNC machines and CNC machining centers. It convinces with the best product characteristics: It is highly abrasion-resistant, highly flexible and compressible 4: 1, flame-retardant according to DIN 4102-B1 and meets the safety requirements of the German Holz-BG. The TIMBERDUC® PUR 532 CNC can be used in a temperature range of -40 °C to 90 °C, short time to 125 °C.
