As we all know, food-grade hoses are used to transport edible oil, beverages, milk, liquor and other food eaten by humans. Therefore, in order to protect human health, food-grade hoses not only meet the EU 10/2011 standard, but also meet FDA US food level standard. Many partners will have doubts when choosing food-grade hoses: there are many types of food-grade hoses, which food-grade hose is suitable for their application? This is also the most frequently asked question by customers of Shenzhen Lex sales staff. When selecting food grade hoses, the following important parameters need to be identified:
1. Pressure: refers to the working pressure and minimum burst pressure of the system in the pipeline. The minimum burst pressure is generally 3 to 4 times the working pressure.
2. Vacuum pressure: Negative pressure or vacuum resistance requirements.
3. Temperature: refers to the temperature of the medium being transported and the temperature of the working environment, as well as the temperature and time of CIP/SIP cleaning.
4. Medium and corrosiveness: refers to the substances and properties conveyed by the food-grade hose; different media will directly determine the material of the food-grade hose. Especially food-grade chemical pipes, such as lithium battery slurry delivery pipes, ink delivery pipes, concentrated acid-base food pipes, flavors and fragrances food pipes, etc., are all special materials for different media.
5. Bending requirements: The direction and curvature of the pipeline at the application and installation site, and the minimum bending radius of different food-grade hoses are different.
6. Vibration and distortion: the vibration, movement and distortion of the used part.
7. Connection joint: the joint type at both ends of the food pipe.
