Application:

The high-end hose for the food and beverage industry

FLUOROPAL® Food + Drink is the premium high-end hose for pharmaceutical and cosmetic industrial applications in a range of limited conditions, as well as for the food and beverage industry. Due to its fluor plastic lining the FLUOROPAL® is resistant to the most extreme temperature ranges. Constant temperatures up to +125°C (+257°F) and short-term temperatures for cleaning up to +150°C (+320°F) are no problem. Moreover, the all-rounder is highly resistant to commonly used cleaning and disinfecting products and almost all chemicals. The high-temperature resistant EPDM-cover is resistant to ozone and weather. Combined with our swaged fitting systems and blue protective rubber rings, the result is the ideal hose assembly.
