Food Grade PU Hose
Food grade hoses are flexible ducts that are specifically designed to handle the movement of dry bulk food materials hygienically and without contamination. According to the FDA (Food and Drug Administration), a food grade tube must adhere to strict, specific guidelines to avoid deterioration and potential contamination during daily usage. Contamination that could impact the quality, taste, aroma, and overall purity of food products can pose a health risk to consumers, and if the quality does not meet standards, it can lead to regulatory violations and devastating legal action. As such, agricultural facilities and farms must utilize an FDA-approved hose to ensure the safe transfer and production of food. This includes using translucent and white-colored flex hoses because a translucent food grade duct will allow operators and inspectors to detect clogs, blockage, and possible contaminations. Meanwhile, white ducts are made from plastics with greater purity and indicate that they do not contain any dyes or recycled materials. Another essential factor that facilities check for is if the food grade hose is appropriately designed for their specific application, because some applications that require alcohol or acidity resistance require a durable chemical-resistant flex duct to ensure that some of the plastic materials don’t leak into the product as it is being transferred from one point to another. By following these standards and regulations, food processing facilities will be able to rely on a flexible duct design that is universal throughout the industry and will not have to worry if they are using a non-compliant food grade pipe.

Key Characteristics of Food-Grade Hoses
Food-grade hoses are made from flexible materials, such as polyurethane, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), or thermoplastic rubber. Additionally, they typically have an internal helical wire made from spring steel or stainless steel that provides strength and durability to the overall assembly. While they may look like other types of hoses, they differ from them in the following ways:
Non-toxic, non-metal construction.
Metal components are susceptible to corrosion, which can lead to product contamination during production operations. Plastics and rubbers offer an inherent resistance to corrosion, making them ideal for equipment used in food and beverage operations.
Excellent durability.
Food-grade hoses are designed to withstand the harsh conditions found in food processing facilities (e.g., high temperatures and pressures). As a result, they are often more durable than other types of hoses.
Pressure capacity.
Many food processing operations rely on the maintenance of various pressure conditions. Quality food-grade hoses are capable of achieving and sustaining specific pressure and vacuum levels as needed.
Odorless/tasteless design.
Food-grade hoses are engineered to not add any odors, contamination or flavors to the conveyed material, which helps maintain the integrity of the final product’s taste and aroma.
Food-grade hose materials
Food-grade hoses are made from flexible materials, such as polyurethane, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), and thermoplastic rubber. Additionally, they have an internal spiral wire made from stainless steel that provides strength and durability to the overall assembly.
Thermoplastics
Thermoplastic hoses are made from flexible plastic polymer materials tolerant to heat and chemicals. These hoses are suitable for transferring and processing various liquid food products, juices, beer, wine, water, pastes, and syrups. The primary materials under this category are polyurethane, PVC, and PTFE.
Rubber
The durability of rubber food-grade hoses makes them excellent for demanding, heavy-duty food transfer applications. Like thermoplastic hoses, rubber hoses are designed to handle the suction and discharge of various liquid food products and edible grains. The most common rubbers used are NBR and EPDM.
Stainless steel
Stainless steel is an excellent alternative for applications that do not require flexible hosing. Stainless steel is easy to clean and widely used in the food and beverage tube industries. Typically, the material meets and exceeds the requirements of food and beverage safety standards.

Material |
Application |
Temperature range |
|
PVC |
Ideal for applications where pressure and temperature are limited, such as drinking water, soft drinks, and various raw materials. PVC hoses are transparent, lightweight, and flexible. |
-20 ��C - 60 ��C (-4 ��F - 140 ��F) |
|
PTFE |
PTFE hoses are ideal where temperature, pressure, or movement are high—used for filters and centrifuges, fragrances, and flavorings. PTFE has excellent chemical resistance and is typically easy to clean. |
-70 ��C - 260 ��C (-94 ��F - 500 ��F) |
|
Polyurethane |
Hoses made of polyurethane are used with dry and abrasive foods. Polyurethane is resistant to fatty foods and is suitable for dry ingredients such as spices and milk powders. |
-40 ��C - 90 ��C (-40 ��F - 194 ��F) |
|
NBR |
For applications needing oil and greaseproof material. Among other applications, NBR hoses are used with dairy products, oils, mayonnaise, and soft drinks. |
-30 ��C - 100 ��C (-22 ��F - 212 ��F) |
|
EPDM |
EPDM hoses are commonly used for drinks and juices. Beverages such as beer, soft drinks, and wine are also used with EPDM hoses, which can also be used for high-alcohol beverages. |
-70 ��C - 260 ��C(-94 ��F - 500 ��F) |
|
Stainless steel |
Used almost exclusively for applications with high temperatures. Typically expensive to use, but offers unmatched reliability, is easy to clean, and can be used for nearly all products. |
-100 ��C - 300 ��C (-148 ��F - 572 °F) |
