NBR Food Discharge Hose

The NBR Food Discharge Hose is a food-grade hose designed for the safe transfer of liquids and food products such as milk, edible oils, juice, and water. Featuring an FDA-compliant nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) inner liner, it offers excellent resistance to fats and oils. Reinforced with high-tensile synthetic cords, it handles medium-pressure discharge applications while maintaining flexibility. Its abrasion-resistant outer cover ensures durability in food processing environments. Ideal for use in dairies, breweries, and food plants, this hose ensures hygienic and efficient food handling.

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.
