Germany-based Hauff-Technik, a leading manufacturer of building entry and seal systems for cables and pipes, showcased three innovations – Segmento, Sumo and Zappo – at the Middle East Electricity Exhibition held in Dubai recently.

The company, exploring the possibility of entering the Middle East market, says it wants a share of the economic growth in the UAE and is seeking to gain a leading position in the Middle East market.
Describing the product range, a company spokesman says the Segmento cable entry system is 10 times faster to fit than the existing system.
It is also lighter and can be installed in any mix of combinations.  Segmento seals power, communication, data and control system cables.
Differently coloured segments and a new sealing material allow cables to be laid easily at any time, even once installation of the entry system has been completed.
The Sumo stainless steel external pipe seal is ideal for plumbing, heating and air-conditioning applications, as well as in underground engineering and pipe-laying work, for sealing all standard-sized media pipes. The split version of the Sumo pipe seal was specially developed for fitting to already-laid pipes.
To seal additional service connections, for example during renovation work or in later installation work, the company has developed the Zappo underground pipe boring system, enabling trenchless installation without the need to dig up the land. Using the Zappo system, the service connections are laid backwards from the cellar or basement, without disturbing the ground surface.
