Hose Technology — always a safe connection

Hose assemblies for all applications and flow media

With the VIGOT® brand, SCHAUENBURG Industrietechnik has been providing hose solutions for all major industries such as automotive, shipbuilding, steel industry, food industry, pharmaceutical industry as well as for renewable energies for decades.

We supply original equipment, drawing-specific hose assemblies and replacement hose assemblies to our industrial customers and are a certified specialist company for hose and fitting technology as well as hydraulic hose assemblies. All production locations have an ISO 9001:2015 management system certificate.

As a partner for hose systems, we sell hose lines with nominal diameters from DN 2 to DN 300 as well as hose fittings and moulded hoses. Our products have certificates from all major inspection authorities, including DNV, BV, LR, RINA and VTH Verband Technischer Handel. Through the BG Rohstoffe und die chemische Industrie (BGRCI) we have the testing qualification for hose assemblies according to TRBS 1203! 

Furthermore, we have the railroad approval for fire protection hoses and hose systems as well as the approval of the Federal Waterways and Shipping Administration for loading and fire hoses on inland waterway vessels. In the defense sector, we are approved by the BAAINBw as a hose assembly company in accordance with various VG standards. 

We have a long-standing partnership with Danfoss Power Solutions in the hydraulics sector. Together we support our partners and customers as a long-time specialized supplier, distributor and assembler with the brand: VIGOT® Schlauchtechnik.

Technology that convices

In our state-of-the-art production facilities, we assemble hose systems made of elastomers, thermoplastics or metal for a wide range of applications in any desired length. The fittings for these are made of steel, brass or stainless steel to match the respective hoses. For quality control, we subject the newly assembled hose assemblies to stationary leak and pressure tests at up to 4,000 bar.

Our connection methods for hose systems: 

• Plug connections
• Clamp fittings
• Reusable screw fittings
• Press connections
• Welded fittings on metal hoses

The combination of assembly, testing and distribution in one hand ensures a particularly high quality and reliability of all hose solutions purchased from VIGOT®.

Safety first – safety for every hose assembly

During our hose inspections by the VIGOT® Schlauchtechnik brand, we apply an individual testing procedure for each product. The fluid properties are taken into account and the basic requirements of the material as well as the current condition of each hose and fitting are checked in the tests we perform with regard to the exact guidelines.

These are the SCHAUENBURG benefits of stationary hose inspection

• Standardized inspection procedures
• Endoscopy
• Qualified inspectors according to VTH and BG
• Very high testing capacities and individual inspections on request
• Inspections are possible up to 4,000 bar
• Test rigs: underwater compressed air and stationary as well as mobile test rigs
• Transparent and comprehensive documentation of the inspections

Moulded hoses and more for every purpose

Our moulded hoses made of various materials are used in applications such as construction machinery, agricultural machinery, air conditioning or ventilation systems. We are also able to produce special hoses according to our customers' requirements for individual applications.

In addition, our customers can use a convenient online configurator for technical hose lines, fittings and expansion joints to quickly find the right product for every requirement.

Competence and production from Germany

For many decades SCHAUENBURG Industrietechnik has been producing customized moulded parts made of plastics and rubber. Our manufacturing facility is located in Germany. This means that our customers are not affected by delays and failures in increasingly fragile global supply chains. We manufacture prototype one-offs of the same quality as production parts for end-use in industry in runs of millions, enabling us to provide a suitable quote for all commercial customers. For the automotive industry, for example, we manufacture seals and plastic parts for electromobility and charging infra-structure.

Consulting: From design to series production

Plastic Injection Moulded parts are among the most versatile parts in industrial applications. To ensure that we can produce the perfect plastic moulded parts for you, every order begins with comprehensive consulting.

Your individually responsible technical advisor first records your requirements together with experts from design and production. We discuss these points, among others:

• Review and analysis or creation of the 3D data and the parts drawing
• Determination of material, tolerances and standards
• Evaluation of the existing mould or production of a new mould
• Requirements for size, shot weight and cycle of the mould
• Shot weight and clamping force for machine specification
• Production volume and production complexity

In addition to the required product characteristics, we also record the intended use of the parts to be produced.

Example: Plug for electric car

Development and 3D modeling

The conversion of the two-dimensional drawing into a raster model, the so-called 3D modeling, is one of the basic tasks before the prototype is created. With the realistic representation and better spatial idea of the body, further optimizations for the product are worked out. With textures applied, a solid model is created for excellent visualization.

To do this, we talk about the necessary material properties:

• Strength, abrasion and load resistance
• Weather resistance for outdoor applications
• Maximum tolerances and quality requirements
• Selection of possible materials (TPU, PE, PP, POM, ABS, PA6 etc.)

Tool approval and series production

After the final mould has been approved, series production begins. Our qualified process engineers first begin with the initial machine settings and injection of the material selected during development and design.

Our production facility has a tool shop and a tool store. With the help of a crane track, the tools can be moved through the halls to the respective machine. A centering ring then enables the tools to be clamped in place with pinpoint accuracy.

After the mould has been visually and functionally inspected and optimized in our in-house workshop for adjustments and maintenance, and the optimum settings for temperature, pressure and tempering times have been defined, the first quality report is prepared by a neutral inspection body. The precision of the measurement report here is based on the high precision of our preliminary work. So you can rely on the result.
