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.

Hoses for fume and dust extraction

NORRES offers the ideal hose solutions for fume and dust extraction!

Hoses used in fume and dust extractions are under considerable strain. Choosing the correct hose is essential to achieve the highest possible power and life service. In this field of application mainly gaseous materials are extracted and transported. Temperature resistance, flexibility, flame resistance and impermeability are the most important properties for hoses used in this sector.

Ideal Hose Solutions for fume and dust extractions!

In the field of applications for hoses used in extraction units, dedusting systems, filter systems or oil mist extraction and galvanic extraction the PROTAPE® PUR 301 AS and PROTAPE® PUR 330 AS are both particularly suitable. Both hoses are highly flexible, abrasion restistant and flame-retardant.
For technical hoses used on extraction arms or welding fume extractions properties like high flexibility, flame resistance, alkaline-, acid- and chemical resistance are essential. The PROTAPE® PVC 371 HT combines all these properties!
Ideally suited for the pneumatic transport of flammable dusts and bulk materials is the AIRDUC® PUR 350 AS BLACK. With a recommended temperature range -40°F to 195°F, short time to 255°F, in accordance with ATEX 2014/34/EU and German TRGS 727.
