Food & Beverage EPDM Hoses

These hoses are ideal for food and beverage, dairy and other applications within a temperature range of -67°F to 302°F. Recommended for applications that demand both flexibility and ruggedness with a clean FDA compliant tube. The food grade EPDM tube is odorless and tasteless for those applications involving transfer of oily substances.

 FDA Hose

Food & Beverage Nitrile Hose

A high quality suction and discharge hose for food and dairy products, water transfer and hot CIP solution, it withstands temperatures of -67°F, to 257°F. Highly resistance to animal fat and vegetable oils.

 FDA Hose

The Anatomy of hoses
Rubber hoses play an integral part in today's food and beverage industry because of their versatility and functionality. In order to choose the correct hose or tube for your application requires some background in how hoses are made. The following is a brief look into what makes up a hose.

Most rubber hoses have three layers, the inner most layer or the "tube", a layer of reinforcement, and the outer layer commonly referred to as the "cover". The inner most layer or tube has two functions: to contain the fluid being conveyed and to resist being broken down form that fluid.

If the fluid is going to be put under increased pressure the tube may need to be reinforced with either a fabric or wire. This reinforcement is often referred to as the second layer in most hoses, and can be seen in the image to the right. This reinforcement or "carcass" helps to protect the tube from internal pressure and outside forces

The third layer is the cover. The cover further protects the tube from external damage and deterioration from external forces. This cover can also serve as an identification tool or to simply improve the look. Although these secondary layers are commonly used, homogeneous tubes or hoses with only one layer are also available.

Due to the number of interacting forces, it is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED THAT YOUR ELASTOMER SELECTION BE RIGOROUSLY TESTED IN THE ACTUAL APPLICATION, performance assumptions must be checked so that you are certain that all variables have been carefully considered
