When working in food processing or beverage production, using high-quality, compliant hoses is important. Food processing operations require equipment that meets strict sanitation standards to guarantee the safety of the products being handled. Many standard hoses do not provide the level of sanitation necessary for food-related tasks. That’s where Force Flex Industrial’s food grade hoses come in, offering the ideal solution for the safe transport of grains, liquids, and other food products.
What Makes Our Food Grade Hose Special?
Force Flex offers a comprehensive selection of food and beverage grade hoses that meet the stringent requirements set by regulatory bodies like the USDA and FDA. These hoses are specifically engineered for applications that involve the transfer of food products, making sure of safety and cleanliness throughout the process. Whether you are working with dry goods such as flour and powdered food, or with beverages like water and alcoholic liquids, Force Flex provides hoses that can handle all these materials effectively.
Our food grade hoses are designed for versatility and reliability. They are capable of handling pressures that your specification requires and come in a variety of sizes. This flexibility allows for efficient transport, even in facilities with limited space. We offer a variety of food-grade hoses that will meet your needs, including clear PVC. Clear PVC material makes it easy to inspect the contents of the hose while it’s in use, giving you peace of mind that your products are flowing safely.
PTFE Lined Hose: A Premium Choice for Food Processing
For food processing operations that require a higher level of resistance and easier cleaning, Force Flex also offers PTFE lined hoses. PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) is a material that offers excellent chemical resistance and non-stick properties. These qualities make PTFE hose ideal for transporting various food and beverage products, including acidic liquids, ethanol, and even hot mash.
The PTFE lining makes sure that food items do not come into contact with potentially harmful substances, maintaining a high standard of cleanliness. In addition, PTFE hoses are much easier to clean and sanitize compared to traditional hoses, which reduces downtime in your operations and makes a longer lifespan for your hoses.
