Industrial hose systems used in the food industry are subject to strict hygiene requirements, and their use is also subject to considerable restrictions. Almost all food grade hoses from NORRES were tested by an independent test institute according to the most recent Directive 10/2011. This means the range of possible applications has been expanded even further.

Industrial hoses tested according to the most recent directive 10/2011/EC

In addition to the AIRDUC^? PUR 351 MHF or the AIRDUC^? PUR 355 MHF, further food grade hoses from the hose manufacturer NORRES were tested for use in the food industry by an independent test institute according to the current Directive 10/2011 and therefore can now be used in significantly more areas of application in the food industry.
In addition to the NORFLEX^? PUR 401 MHF, the PROTAPE^? PUR 330 MHF and PROTAPE^? PUR-INOX 330 MHF as well as the BARDUC^? PUR-INOX 382 MHF were tested according to the currently valid directive 10/2011/EC. The AIRDUC^? PUR 356 MHF, AIRDUC^? PUR-INOX 351 MHF, AIRDUC^? PUR-INOX 355 MHF, and AIRDUC^? PUR-INOX 356 MHF will also be tested soon.

New food-grade approval expands the range of possible applications

Up to now, the hoses were only tested for the transport of dry foods. The NORRES hoses in the Pre-PUR^?-MHF product series are also suitable now for dry, aqueous, and acidic foodstuffs. The hoses are also suitable for recurrent contact with foods containing alcohol with an alcohol content of 20% by volume. They are also suitable for short-term contact with fatty foods, spirits (alcohol content: > 20% by volume), milk and dairy products, as well as dry foods with fatty substances on the surface such as nuts, for example.
The successful testing of the Pre-PUR^?-MHF hose series according to Directive (EU) No. 10/2011/EC proves it once again: expertise and the desire to innovate and combined with high quality materials and technology are what NORRES believes are the best prerequisites for quality products according to the latest directives.
