ALTRA 3D, New Hose Technology Continues to Build upon NIEDNER’s Innovative Expertise, Expanding Access to Broader Applications and End Markets

MONTRÉAL, April 25, 2022 /CNW Telbec/ – NIEDNER Inc., a leading manufacturer of innovative, high-performance hoses, is broadening its presence in the global market with the launch of its next-generation technology ALTRA 3D.

The latest breakthrough technology ALTRA 3D offers performance specifically tailored for high-pressure applications across multiple end markets such as the municipal, forestry, agriculture, mining, industrial sectors and many others. Leveraging NIEDNER’s deep knowledge, engineering innovations, and field-proven expertise, the ALTRA 3D technology delivers the reliability, flexibility and results to meet the wide range of demands seen in today’s dynamic environment. The unique properties of ALTRA 3D make it the best performing solution to transport water, minerals, slurry, oil, gas, chemicals and other fluids in extreme environmental settings.

ALTRA 3D was designed for difficult operating conditions and does not suffer from corrosion, resulting in an extremely reliable and safe solution. This 3D circular woven hose combines the advantages of a double jacket hose into a single one, eliminating wrinkling and snaking. This means that the ALTRA 3D solution lasts much longer than other alternatives. In fact, when operating within the specs of the hose, no extra maintenance work is needed during the hose’s lifetime, preventing down time, and saving considerable time and investment.

“Building upon our company’s extensive heritage, NIEDNER offers innovative, high-performance hose solutions that deliver resiliency and winning market value for a wide range of applications,” said Allen Walsh, General Manager, NIEDNER. “With our new ALTRA 3D technology, we’re continuing to expand our product portfolio, thus enabling us to participate in an ever-increasing set of applications in both existing and new global markets.”

“With over 143 million feet of high-performing flexible hose deployed around the world, NIEDNER sets again a new performance standard for these hoses with our latest ALTRA 3D technology and provides unparalleled durability. Our ongoing commitment to research and development has resulted in another world-first innovation from NIEDNER,” said Martin Bureau, Vice-President, Innovation. “Combining industry-leading high-pressure and flow rate products with textile hose flexibility, delivers the best solution for the most demanding applications. Nothing else on the market matches ALTRA 3D.”

ALTRA 3D fully meets all requirements of the widely recognized UL 19, NSF/ANSI 61, NFPA and API standards and is available in sizes ranging from 1.5 to 12 inches. Learn more about ALTRA 3D by visiting https://niedner-altra.com/altra-3d/

ABOUT NIEDNER

NIEDNER is a leading manufacturer o

The Wexford Volunteer Fire Company signed a contract for a new rescue truck with Seagrave Fire Apparatus, LLC and their local sales rep, Flashover Fire Apparatus and Equipment Company.

The new truck has a 560-day build time and delivery is expected for late 2023. This truck will replace our current rescue, which was purchased in 1994.

The Rescue is the backbone of our fleet. It responds to all motor vehicle accidents and other rescue situations. It also responds as a support vehicle to structure fires and other emergencies. The new rescue will give us additional rescue capabilities such as water emergencies, and structural collapse. It will carry a full complement of ground ladders and structural firefighting equipment in addition to the rescue equipment.

We would like to thank the Township of Pine for their financial support of this project.

Council recently approved the Bonnyville (Alberta, Canada) Regional Fire Authority’s (BRFA) request to replace five fire trucks—two pumpers and three tankers—in the ensuing three years at a projected cost of just under C$3 million, reports lakelandconnect.net.

The request, totaling C$2,934,037, was submitted under the department’s proposed 15-year interval as follows, the report notes:

1) 2007 Pumper 20 (Goodridge) – replacement due in 2022; would arrive in 2023
2) 2007 Pumper 91 (Cold Lake South) – replacement due in 2023, needs a 2022 ordering
3) 2007 Tanker 21 (Goodridge) – replacement due in 2023, needs a 2022 ordering
4) 2010 Tanker 31 (Glendon) – replacement due in 2024, needs a 2023 ordering
5) 2009 Tanker 41 (Iron River) – replacement due in 2024, needs a 2023 ordering

Officials say ordering multiple apparatus in the same purchase can result in 1-2% savings, while ordering multiple identical apparatus in the same purchase can yield 2-3% savings.

BRFA experienced two pump failures in 2021—an MD truck and a Bonnyville truck—during a test, the report says.

The city of Quincy this week took delivery of its new $1.65 million Pierce aerial fire truck.

It has a 100-foot ladder and replaces a 1995 model, which will remain in service.

The apparatus cost $1.5 million plus another $150,000 worth of equipment, too, reports columbiabasinherald.com.

Officials note that if the city had waited any longer the price would increase by 25%.
