When it comes to food grade hose it’s important to invest in products you know you can trust. After all, not all food grade hoses are created equal.
By choosing a cheaper alternative you risk:
• contamination by harmful bacteria including salmonella
• the flavour or odour of your product being compromised by the interior of the hose
• a breakdown or malfunction, costing you and your business valuable time and money.
What is food grade piping?
Food grade piping needs to safely transfer food grade products without the risk of contamination or malfunction. Hosing must withstand different degrees of pressure and temperature, depending on the application. They also need to be:
• flexible
• durable
• bacterial resistant
• abrasive resistant
• kink resistant.
So, what’s so good about Pacific Hoseflex food grade piping?
How does our range of hoses compare to others on the market? On request we can manufacture products and systems in accordance to AS 4041 AWS D18.1 and ASME IX Welding Standards.
When it comes to dealing with food, our Hygienic Food Grade products eliminate bacteria traps in piping. And our PTFE products are ideal for Clean in Place Systems (CIP) that require stringent hygiene practices, preventing harmful bacteria such as Salmonella.
The cleaning of the products is also essential to the overall performance and quality. We can pickle, passivate and electropolish the end products before installation.
Don’t pay the price of cheaper alternatives
While cheaper alternatives might save you money in the short term, in the long run you’ll pay the price.
Hoses made from low-grade rubber or cheaper metallic materials are more likely to breakdown during operation or in CIP, potentially contaminating production and costing you thousands of dollars.
It’s better to be safe than sorry!
