NBR Food Discharge Hose

Description

The NBR Food Discharge Hose is specifically designed for the safe transfer of food products and liquids in food and beverage industries. Made with a nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) inner liner, this hose is highly resistant to fats, oils, and a wide range of food-related substances, ensuring sanitary and efficient operations. Its construction allows for the discharge of various food-grade products, making it ideal for food processing plants, dairies, and breweries.

1. Construction

• Inner Liner: The inner tube is made from NBR (Nitrile Butadiene Rubber), which is FDA-compliant for food contact and is highly resistant to oils, fats, and other food substances. The smooth surface ensures optimal flow and minimizes the risk of contamination.
• Reinforcement: The hose is reinforced with high-tensile synthetic cords, providing strength and flexibility while ensuring the hose can handle medium to high-pressure discharge operations.
• Outer Cover: The outer cover is made from abrasion-resistant synthetic rubber, designed to protect the hose from external wear, ozone, and environmental factors, making it durable in harsh conditions. The outer cover is also non-marking, ensuring it won’t leave residue when used in sensitive food production environments.

2. Standard Sizes

• Inner Diameter: Available in various sizes, typically from 1 inch (25mm) to 4 inches (102mm), depending on the volume of the product to be discharged.
• Length: Standard lengths usually range from 10 meters to 20 meters, with custom lengths available upon request for specific applications.

3. Working Pressure

• The NBR Food Discharge Hose is built for medium-pressure applications, with a typical working pressure range of 10 to 20 bars (145 to 290 psi), depending on the size and specific construction.

4. Temperature Range

• Suitable for operation in a wide temperature range, typically from -20°C to 80°C (-4°F to 176°F), allowing it to handle both hot and cold food products.

5. End Fittings

• Equipped with stainless steel, brass, or aluminum fittings to meet food industry standards. Fittings are typically tri-clamp, threaded, or flanged, ensuring sanitary and leak-free connections.
• The end fittings are designed for easy cleaning and maintenance, helping prevent contamination in food handling operations.

6. Performance Characteristics

• Food-grade Quality: The NBR inner liner complies with FDA and European regulations for food contact, making it safe for handling edible products such as milk, oil, juice, and other foodstuffs.
• Oil and Fat Resistance: The nitrile rubber provides excellent resistance to fats, oils, and greases, making it suitable for use in applications where food oils are present.
• Abrasion Resistance: The outer cover provides good protection against wear, ensuring the hose remains intact even in demanding food processing environments.
• Flexibility: Despite its durable construction, the hose is flexible enough to be easily handled, making it suitable for mobile and stationary food processing equipment.
• Sanitary Design: The hose is designed to resist contamination, and it is easy to clean, maintaining hygienic conditions for food processing.

7. Applications

• Primarily used for the discharge of food products such as milk, edible oils, juice, beer, and water in food processing plants, breweries, and dairies.
• Suitable for tank truck discharge and other food-grade transport operations.
• Frequently used in food processing plants where the safe handling of oils, fats, and liquids is essential.
