EPDM Food Discharge Hose

Description

The EPDM Food Discharge Hose is designed for safe and hygienic discharge of various food products and liquids. Made from EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) rubber, this hose is ideal for the transfer of non-oily food substances, including water, beverages, juices, and other liquid foodstuffs. Its construction makes it highly resistant to heat, weather, and a wide range of chemicals, ensuring reliable performance in food and beverage processing applications.

1. Construction

• Inner Liner: The inner tube is made from FDA-compliant EPDM rubber, which is resistant to non-oily food substances. The smooth surface helps maintain optimal flow, minimizes contamination risks, and ensures easy cleaning.
• Reinforcement: The hose is reinforced with high-tensile synthetic textile plies, which provide strength and flexibility, allowing it to handle medium-pressure discharge applications.
• Outer Cover: The outer cover is made from EPDM synthetic rubber, which is resistant to abrasion, ozone, and UV rays. It offers durability in outdoor or exposed environments and ensures long-lasting performance in food processing plants.

2. Standard Sizes

• Inner Diameter: Available in various sizes ranging from 1 inch (25mm) to 4 inches (102mm), depending on the application.
• Length: Typically available in lengths from 10 meters to 20 meters, with custom lengths provided upon request.

3. Working Pressure

• Built to handle medium-pressure discharge applications, the working pressure typically ranges from 10 to 20 bars (145 to 290 psi), depending on the size of the hose.

4. Temperature Range

• Suitable for a wide range of temperatures, typically from -40°C to 120°C (-40°F to 248°F), making it ideal for both hot and cold food product transfer.

5. End Fittings

• The hose can be equipped with food-grade stainless steel fittings such as tri-clamp, threaded, or flanged connections, ensuring leak-free and hygienic operations.
• Fittings are designed to meet sanitary standards and can be easily cleaned and maintained, preventing contamination during food processing.

6. Performance Characteristics

• Food-Grade Quality: The EPDM inner liner is FDA-compliant, ensuring safe transfer of water-based liquids, juices, beverages, and other non-oily food products.
• Heat and Chemical Resistance: EPDM offers excellent resistance to heat and a wide range of chemicals, making it suitable for hot water and steam cleaning processes.
• Abrasion and Weather Resistance: The EPDM outer cover provides protection from abrasion, ozone, and UV damage, making the hose durable even in challenging environments.
• Flexibility: Despite its robust construction, the hose remains flexible, making it easy to handle in various food discharge operations.
• Sanitary Design: The hose’s smooth inner surface prevents contamination, and it is easy to clean, ensuring safe and hygienic food transfer.

7. Applications

• Ideal for discharge of water-based food products, including juices, beverages, milk, and non-fatty foods in food processing plants, dairies, and breweries.
• Commonly used for tank truck discharge and in food manufacturing environments where hygienic food handling is critical.
• Suitable for both indoor and outdoor use due to its weather-resistant outer cover.
