Hygiene and cleanability
Challenge: Meeting stringent hygiene standards.
Solution: Use hoses with smooth, cleanable surfaces.
Good hygiene is paramount in any beverage transfer process. Hoses should have a smooth, non-porous surface that prevents the growth of bacteria and is easy to clean. At Pacific Hoseflex, our beverage hoses are specially designed to ensure they meet strict hygiene standards, FDA approved and are able to ensure the purity of the liquids you are transferring.
Flexibility and durability
Challenge: Balancing flexibility with durability for frequent use.
Solution: Choose hoses with flexible yet strong designs using resilient manufacturing.
Beverage transfer often involves intricate processes and tight spaces. Flexible hoses are essential for manoeuvrability, especially in brewing, winemaking, and soft drink production. Pacific Hoseflex’s hoses offer flexibility without compromising on durability, ensuring a longer lifespan and resistance to wear and tear.
Temperature control
Challenge: Handling hot and cold beverage transfers without compromising the hose integrity.
Solution: Choose hoses that withstand a broad range of temperatures.
Temperature fluctuations can impact the quality of beverages. Hoses from Pacific Hoseflex are designed to handle a wide range of temperatures, preserving the desired characteristics of the transferred liquids. Whether hot or cold, the right hose ensures consistent quality in the final product.
Chemical compatibility
Challenge: Finding hoses that work with a diverse range of beverages.
Solution: Choose compatible hoses with a large scope of compatibility.
Certain beverages, like fruit juices and alcoholic drinks, can have varying acidity levels. Choosing hoses that are chemically compatible with the specific liquids being transferred is crucial. Pacific Hoseflex provides a range of beverage hoses with different material compositions to ensure compatibility and prevent any chemical reactions.
Pressure resistance
