Specialized business areas

BLÜCHER provides drainage solutions removing water from

bathrooms, utility rooms and basements in single- as well as

multi-storey housing, preventing bad smell and standing water

from becoming a concern. The stainless steel also ensures a

classic and aesthetic look.

Hospitals, schools, restaurants and fitness centres are some

of the places where you will find a vast number of drainage

solutions from BLÜCHER. The smooth stainless steel surface

and high capacity prevent settlements and standing water in

public areas. The modular systems provide an easy and quick

installation.

BLÜCHER specializes in drainage solutions for large industrial

facilities. Among the industries in which we play a major

part, are the food industry that benefits from our hygienic

solutions, and the pharmaceutical industry, which in particular

values the sustainability of the BLÜCHER® products.

The marine industry has a special place in BLÜCHER‘s commit-

ment to drainage. Cruise vessels, ferries, yachts, merchant and

navy vessels as well as off-shore installations all depend on

the performance of our solutions at sea where good hygiene

and light-weight systems are essential.

Specialized in stainless steelBLÜCHER is synonymous with stainless steel for a number of

good reasons. Stainless steel is highly corrosion resistant with

outstanding longevity. When it comes to constantly draining

water, stainless steel has no equal. In addition there are a

number of other important characteristics that make stainless

steel a reliable material to be depended upon over time.

Low weight high strength

Stainless steel is a strong, durable, pressure and chemical-

resistant material. It can withstand a high degree of vibra-

tions and it functions within a wide scale of temperatures.

The high strength of the material enables the design of thin-

walled low-weight products. Durability, ease of handling and

installation are also part of the cocktail that makes stainless

steel so popular.

Flow, hygiene and maintenance

Properly treated stainless steel has a unique smooth surface

that guarantees maximum flow capacity, which in turn makes

it possible to keep dimensions to a minimum. Shaped without

rough corners and edges, cleaning and maintaining stainless

steel takes minimum effort and time.

Quality, longevity and whole life costing

An increasing number of people have come to realise that

stainless steel solutions are highly competitive, also when

it comes to price. Figuring installation time, maintenance

and longevity into the equation, say over a realistic 50 year

period, stainless steel solutions from BLÜCHER have no equal.

Environmentally safe

Stainless steel is 100% recyclable and non-toxic. If a system

needs replacements or replacing, the disposal of the old

material is of no harm to the environment.

Fire safety

Being able to withstand temperatures over 800° Celsius,

stainless steel is a highly fire resistant material.

Design

If design is a parameter, which is becoming the case in more

and more aspects of life, stainless steel is a durable timeless

classic material that also stands the visual test of time.

BLÜCHER® Drain is a comprehensive product range covering

light- to heavy-duty drains for all types of floors. DOMESTIC is

the classic product line for showers and bathrooms, INDUS-

TRIAL is for industrial facilities, and MARINE targets the entire

maritime industry. The DESIGN line represents BLÜCHER’s com-

mitment to blending invention, design and function. Due to

a range of features including height adjustment, rotation, tilt

and a removable water trap, our products are easy to install.

BLÜCHER® Channel represents a large number of standard,

modular and custom-made channels delivered from stock or

customized according to any given specification. The products

are widely used in industrial and commercial environments,

where the smooth surfaces with no sharp edges make clean-

ing and keeping a high hygienic standard easy. In this range

you will also find commercial kitchen channels in a variety of

dimensions and gratings for all loads.

BLÜCHER has the most extensive range of pipes and fittings in

stainless steel. BLÜCHER® EuroPipe is produced in a variety of

dimensions from OD 50 to 250 mm, and we offer a complete

program of bends, branches and brackets. Products like access

pipes, the rat stop and double ring-seal sockets are also part

of this range. The pipes can be used above as well as below

ground where the low weight and the push-fit system make

installation fast and easy.

With their large flow capacity and a minimum need for brackets,

stainless steel pipes save real time in the installation process.

The pipes can also be used for black- and grey water sanitary

discharge systems onboard ships.

YesterdayBLÜCHER was founded by the Danish plumber Johannes

Blücher Skibild. A man with visions and both his feet solidly

on the ground, looking for a sophisticated grating for drainage

installations. Outside business hours he and his wife started

operating out of their barn producing stainless steel gratings.

Since then the BLÜCHER group has continuously expanded its

products and services.

TodayAs BLÜCHER challenges yesterday with new designs and

solutions, we stay true to the basics of good craftsmanship,

quality and a down-to-earth-spirit. Therefore it is always easy

to do business with us regardless of how complicated a project

might be.

Most standard products are kept in stock and our terms of

delivery are flexible. We provide organized documentation

like catalogues, mini guides and an extensive on-line product

database.

Customized projects are supported with extensive documenta-

tion and CAD drawings. All products are of course delivered

with a detailed step-by-step guide to installation, and to the

extent that our products need maintenance, guides can be

found on our website.

TomorrowWe intend to keep up the flow and continuously improve and

increase our range of products, documentation and communi-

cation.

We also intend to expand our worldwide services and repre-

sentations, always adapting to local requirements and your

specific needs.
