The food industry places particularly high demands on all components of process equipment. All elements of process systems must be made of materials that do not react with products and are easy to clean. That is why stainless steel hoses play an important role in food production.
What is a metal hose and why is it chosen in the food industry
A stainless steel metal hose is a flexible corrugated pipe that can be equipped with various types of connections: fittings, nipples or flanges. Due to its design, it combines the flexibility of a hose and the strength of a metal pipe, which makes it a universal solution for various production processes.
Food-grade stainless steel, from which Eco-Flex metal hoses are made, is not subject to corrosion, does not emit impurities and withstands temperature fluctuations. It does not react with food liquids, oils, alcohols or vapors, preserving their purity and flavor.
Main areas of application in the food industry
Eco-Flex metal hoses can be used in systems:
- supply of hot and cold water, steam, air;
- connection of pasteurizers, filters, boilers, tanks;
- transportation of liquid products – milk, juices, syrups, beer, wine;
- compensation of vibrations and temperature expansions in pipelines;
- connection of technological equipment in areas with increased hygiene requirements.
Advantages of using metal hoses in food production
- Hygiene and cleanliness – the inner surface of the corrugated pipes are smooth, do not accumulate deposits, are easy to clean and sterilize.
- Corrosion resistance – stainless steel does not oxidize when in contact with food or detergents.
- Heat resistance – the metal hose withstands high temperatures and pressure, maintaining tightness.
- Flexibility and ease of installation – easy to install without welding, ideal for confined spaces.
- Production safety – hermetic joints prevent leakage and contamination of products.
