This hose presents a wide field of application due to its construction which gives it a balance between strength and lightness. The inner layer for this hose is made of PFA (Perfluoroalkoxy) which has high compatibility with highly aggressive chemicals. This hose is able to transport liquid or semi-liquid foodstuffs by impulsion or suction since its design can resist either pressure or vacuum.
Properties
- Odourless, tasteless and completely non-toxic.
- High flexibility.
- White and smooth appearance of the inner layer of PFA, translucent and smooth appearance of the outer silicone layer.
- Can be equipped with 316L stainless steel fittings on each end with a roughness value of less than 0.8 (or 0.5 on request).
- Upon request, it can be equipped with Clamp fittings with an inner cover of PFA.
- Operational temperature range from -30°C (-22 F) to +150°C (302 F).
- The hose is manufactured in a maximum length of 20m (65.62 ft).
- The vacuum resistance is 0.9 bar (13.05 psi).
Limitations
Respect the bending radius and work pressure established values.
Mind the chemical compatibility of the fluid with the inner PFA.
