Water Conservation Efforts
SCHELL has developed advanced fitting technologies that significantly reduce water usage, especially in public and commercial sanitary environments. These include self-closing and infrared-controlled fittings that can save up to 65% of water compared to traditional fittings. Additionally, the company aims to reduce hot water usage to decrease CO2 emissions.
Product Range and Applications
SCHELL provides a diverse range of products, including wash basin fittings, shower fittings, WC and urinal flush systems, and angle valves. These products are tailored for various environments such as schools, hospitals, hotels, and public facilities, where water conservation and hygiene are essential.
Quality and Durability
SCHELL guarantees the durability and reliability of its products by utilizing high-quality materials and robust designs. The fittings are tested for longevity and resistance to vandalism, making them ideal for high-traffic areas.
Environmental Responsibility
The company is dedicated to sustainable production practices, including recycling brass swarf and using materials safe for drinking water. SCHELL's products meet international quality and safety standards, ensuring they are safe for use with drinking water.
Introduction
Schell GmbH & Co. KG focuses on sustainability by offering innovative hygiene solutions for sanitary rooms, particularly in settings like hospitals, nursing homes, and schools. The emphasis is on reducing germ transmission and ensuring continuous use of sanitary systems.
Contact-Free Control
Many Schell fittings feature contact-free controls, which conserve water and improve hygiene in high-use areas.
Materials Suitable for Drinking Water
Schell uses materials that are safe for drinking water, complying with regulations such as the German Drinking Water Ordinance (TrinkwV 2000), DIN 50930 Section 6, DIN EN 1717, and KTW recommendations. These materials do not alter the water's composition.
Brass Blanks
Schell is globally recognized for pioneering technical solutions that protect user health and prevent costs associated with poor hygiene.
Stagnation Flush
Electronically controlled wash basin fittings include a selectable stagnation flush, which activates a 20-second water flow every 24 hours to prevent stagnation in pipelines, particularly useful during periods of non-use like school holidays.
Legionella Flush
Schell offers a legionella flush in most electronically controlled wash basin fittings. This involves heating water to 70°C to eliminate legionella bacteria without chemicals, meeting DVGW worksheet W551 requirements.
Conclusion
Infections are often transmitted via hands rather than air, underscoring the importance of Schell's sustainable solutions in combating germs.

Get to know us from our green side. Sustainability - the most natural thing in the world for SCHELL. And has been the case for over 80 years. Ultimately, Hubert Schell founded a company not just anywhere, but in the middle of the Sauerland Olpe region. Surrounded by grassland, forest and numerous waterways. This rubs off in the best sense. For SCHELL, economic success and a respectful approach to nature have always been aspects of corporate philosophy, long before the subject of sustainability became a hotly discussed topic. A challenge that we still wish to meet even in the era of globalisation....

The fact that the United Nations made 2008 the »Year of Sanitation« shows how important the topic of sanitary installation has become across the globe. It's not surprising. Water consumption alone has sextupled since 1950. Intelligent fitting technologies from SCHELL offer enormous potential for sustainable solutions - in private and particularly in public, semi-public and commercial sanitary rooms. Special conditions prevail here. This includes other user behaviour, increased hygiene requirements and the risk of vandalism. With SCHELL, you are and will be best prepared. Domestic usage of drinking...

Sustainability means for us: reducing water consumption – not convenience. Although the 70 % of Earth's surface is covered with water – only 3.5 % of this water is fresh water and of that figure only half of it can be used. Figures that demonstrate that water is a scarce entity as well as being a valuable one as demand for fresh water is increasing in light of the changing climate and growing global population. In Germany alone, 80 % of drinking water is used for sanitary purposes. This is reason enough for SCHELL to develop water-saving technologies, which show their effect where sensitivity...

Wash basin fittings, controlled contact-free Wash basin fittings, self-closing Wash basin fittings, single-lever Equipped with an infrared sensor, these control the flow of water on a demand-basis and contact-free. Due to their means of operation, a saving of up to 65 % of precious water can be made. Self-closing fittings by SCHELL re­ strict the duration of water delivery and save an enormous amount of water be it using piezoelectric tech­ nology with an adjustable flow time or via cartridge technology with adjustable flow time. The flow rate quantities are limited to max. 6 l/min on both designs....

Regulating angle valves Wall-mounted draw-off fittings Water consumption can be easily reduced by up to 40 % with no loss of convenience using an optional, regulated angle valve. Wall-mounted draw-off fittings can be used in a variety of situations. All SCHELL solutions – whether self-closing or single-lever variants – are convincing thanks to their integrated water-saving spray regulator and water flow rate between 5 and 6 l/min (depending on the design) irrespective of pressure.

Shower fittings Apart from toilets, showers are one of the largest water consumers in sanitary rooms. To satisfy even the most conflicting requirements, SCHELL provides a multitude of water-saving shower fittings, optionally with a self-closing function or with an electronic sensory button. The »Shower Control Eco« function has proven to be particularly water efficient. By using a radar sensor behind the safety glass, the function also has the demand-led feature of monitoring the shower area and switching off the water flow in the event of the user leaving the shower area before the set flow...

Urinal flush valves Be it a wall-mounted or concealed design you choose, intelligent WC flush valves from SCHELL make a major contribution towards reducing water consumption. Depending on the design, consumption per flush can be reduced to 3 l or by up to 33 % thanks to the dual flush feature. SCHELL can provide a wide range of water-saving solutions with its wall-mounted and concealed urinal flush valves. The flush valves can be actuated manually or via infrared sensor. The flush volume can be restricted to 1 to 6 litres depending on the design. Additionally, »stadium operation« enables the...

Being frugal with energy is a genuine challenge. Our valves can do this 365 days a year. I don't always manage this during my forest runs, but it's becoming more of a habit. Michaela MAIWORM, Sales Germany

For us, sustainability means: regulating the hot water supply as required - and, thus, indirectly reducing CO2 emissions. Conserving water is good. Conserving hot water is even better. The provision of 1 m3 of hot water requires 34.8 kWh of energy and is thus 87-times higher than for 1 m3 cold water. It is even more crucial to only use hot water when it is actually required. With its intelligent fittings technology, SCHELL is offering numerous possibilities to regulate the supply of hot water on an on-demand basis and is indirectly and sustainably reducing CO2 emissions, which arise when heating...
