are essential for industries that require hygienic and contamination-free fluid transfer, such as food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and biotech sectors. These custom sanitary hose assemblies are designed to meet specific operational requirements, including length, fittings, and material compatibility.
Key Features of Sanitary Hose Custom Assemblies:
Tubing: Common materials include food-grade silicone, Teflon (PTFE), EPDM, and stainless-steel braid-reinforced hoses. Each material offers different properties depending on the application. Specific chemical compatibility can be accommodated for almost all chemistries.
Fittings: Stainless steel (typically 316L) is the most common fitting material, due to its corrosion resistance and ability to meet hygiene standards. Tri-clover fittings are industry standard in most sanitary applications. All standard fittings and even custom assemblies are available as well.
Length: Hoses can be cut to the exact length needed to fit into processing systems with tight tolerances. Standard lengths are offered for instant price and purchase on the site. Non-standard or close tolerance lengths are available by RFQ with a 24-business-hour-response-time guarantee.
Fittings: Various fittings like Tri-Clamp, DIN, reducer fittings of all sizes, I-line, Camlok, flanged, or even custom fittings can be specified for the hose ends. If you can draw it, we can make it.
Bends: Custom bends, elbows, and specific shapes can be made to fit the layout of your processing environment.
Reinforcement: We have a comprehensive and full line of hose materials and constructions designed to meet even severe demands such as vacuum, high pressure, crushproof, or extreme temperatures.
Outer Layer: Protective outer layers (braided or coated) can be chosen to withstand external conditions such as abrasion, extreme chemical, or temperature fluctuations.
Sanitary Standards:
Our sanitary hoses are compliant with strict food and pharmaceutical regulations, including FDA, USDA, USP, and 3-A standards, to ensure hygiene and cleanliness during the process. Let us know what standards you need to meet, and we’ll work to ensure compliance.
Certifications: Our finished sanitary hose assemblies are 3-A certified, not just the materials of construction. Assemblies often come with certificates of compliance or traceability documentation to meet industry-specific regulations.
Applications:
Food & Beverage: Handling dairy, juice, wine, beer, energy drinks, teas, and other beverages.
Pharmaceutical: Transfer of medicines, vaccines, and other sterile materials.
Cosmetics: Pumping of creams, lotions, and gels.
Chemical: Safe transfer of non-reactive chemicals in hygienic settings. Non-sanitary chemical hoses are also available on request.
Temperature and Pressure Rating:
Custom assemblies can be tailored to withstand high/low-pressure applications or high/low-temperature conditions, depending on the specific requirements of the product being transferred.
