NORRES Schlauchtechnik collaborates with Roman Seliger to develop unique safety clamp system for polyurethane tubing

Gelsenkirchen, Germany: NORRES Schlauchtechnik, in a cooperative venture with RS Roman Seliger, recently became the first manufacturer to develop a special safety clamp system for loading and unloading silo vehicles that fits spiral wire-reinforced polyurethane hoses. This unique product, which is compatible with professional tank truck, Kamlok and Storz industrial couplings, offers several crucial benefits compared to the traditional method with rubber hoses.

A wide range of free-flowing solids, such as fodder, flour, grain and cement, have traditionally been loaded in and unloaded from silo vehicles by heavy, inflexible rubber hoses with a tendency to age fast. Since there was no other way to load and unload this bulk material, it was not possible to observe the process and the hoses were difficult to assemble. They were also liable to leak within a short time and suffered from excessive abrasion.

Product innovation
NORRES Schlauchtechnik, a leading manufacturer of industrial hoses and hose systems, has now developed a unique alternative to the classic rubber hoses featuring an innovative safety clamp system that fits spiral wire-reinforced polyurethane hoses. This novel solution will in future allow bulk material to be transported using an undeniably superior hose type. Polyurethane is far more resistant to abrasion than rubber, which means the hoses are also significantly more durable. In addition, polyurethane hoses weigh only a fraction of their conventional rubber counterparts and at the same time are much more flexible...
