EPDM Food Hoses Range: Safe and Compliant Solutions for the Food Industry
EPDM food hoses belong to the category of food-safe hoses made from EPDM, compliant with FDA/BfR standards. These tubes meet the European Pharmacopoeia standards and are partially compliant with USP Class VI. They are used in the soft drink industry as beverage hoses and in dairy operations as dairy hoses and steam hoses, designed for steam applications up to +164°C at 7 bar. Beverage tubes can operate between -35°C to +95°C. These food-grade products are known for their durability and resistance to abrasion and mechanical stress.
EPDM and Food Safety
EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer rubber) can be suitable for nourishment contact, but its eligibility depends on its specific composition and manufacturing. Commonly used in high-temperature and chemical-resistant applications in the pharmaceutical and nourishment industries, not all EPDM variants are suitable for nourishment contact due to potential additives or plasticizers that are not approved for nourishment contact. For use in the nourishment industry, EPDM must adhere to the following guidelines:
- FDA Certification (USA): EPDM rubber must meet the requirements set by the US Food and Drug Administration.
- EU Regulation 1935/2004 (EU): Materials must be approved for nourishment contact in the European Union and withstand necessary nourishment safety tests. EPD is used in seals, hoses, and diaphragm valves in the food industry. This chemically certified EPD is specifically developed for food applications.
Double Jacket Beverage Hoses
EPD double jacket beverage hoses, a subtype of EPD food hoses, are robust and ideal for conveying non-fatty foods such as fruit juices, mineral water, alcoholic beverages including wine and cider. The inner core of these hoses is made from EPD and the outer jacket from a blend of SBR/NBR/EPD. A textile reinforcement ensures a maximum pressure of 12 bar at +20°C, with an operational temperature range from -35°C to +95°C.
Dairy Food High-Temperature Pressure Hoses
EPD dairy food high-temperature pressure hoses, part of the EPD food hoses range, are used as evaporator hoses in dairy operations. They are ideal for high temperatures, operating normally from -20°C to +95°C and can convey saturated steam up to +164°C. With a maximum operating pressure of 6 bar at +164°C across all hose types, these hoses have smooth inner and outer surfaces, resistant to acids, bases, and polar solvents, except for mineral oils.
Steam Hoses
EPDM steam hoses are utilized in food technology and are considered EPDM food-safe hoses. They are preferred in the soft drink and dairy industries, process technology, and in dairy operational engineering for conveying hot substances, hot water, and steam. These hoses withstand maximum temperatures up to +164°C, with a pressure resistance up to 7 bar at this temperature. They are resistant to lactic acid and both animal and vegetable fats.
