CORE Single Hose Technology

Until it’s introduction in June 2005, hydraulic rescue tools always consisted of a pigtail (dual) hose system with a separate pressure and return hose connecting pump and rescue tool. A CORE^TM system consists of only one hose: a high-pressure inner hose inside a low-pressure outer hose. The hydraulic principle and tool performance of CORE^TM Technology and traditional technology are of course identical. CORE^TM Technology ranks with the most important innovations in the field of extrication ever. The benefits for the user of a system which can be summarized as follows: ‘quick, easy and safe’.

Quick
A CORE^TM system allows the rescuer to change (disconnect and connect) the tool on the spot, while the hose is under flow and without having to switch the valve back at the pump. CORE^TM couplers can rotate (360˚) freely on both ends. Therefore it is now possible for instance to unroll a hose while walking away with a connected tool and start opening the tool in the meantime. These CORE^TM Technology features result in significant time savings.

Easy
A CORE^TM hose has fewer autolock couplers than a pigtail hose and it gets coupled directly at the tool. This allows you to couple the tool in any position, even when holding the tool in one hand and clicking the hose on with the other hand. The possibility of changing tools while the hose is under flow makes changing over at the pump unnecessary. This results in increased flexibility: with CORE^TM Technology a complete rescue set can be operated easy and efficient by just one rescuer.

 
Safe
Because the high-pressure hose is integrated within the low-pressure hose, it is never in direct contact with the outside environment. These and other safety measures make sure that the user is never exposed to more than 25 bar. CORE^TM hoses are reinforced with state-of-the-art multi-layered aramid. Even the most rigorous and prolonged test scenarios have not resulted in any kinking or possible damage resulting from it.
