Food-Grade Tubing: Beverage Hoses, Drinking Water Hoses, Pharma Hoses, Steam Hoses, and More

Food-grade tubing belongs to the group of certified products that are FDA-compliant and BfR-compliant, meet USP Class VI requirements, and also comply with the standards of the European Pharmacopoeia.

The range includes food-grade beverage tubing, dairy tubing, high-pressure designs, pharma hoses, pump hoses, chemical lines, corrugated pipes, composite designs as well as drinking water hoses, steam tubing and food-grade variants. In addition, the portfolio includes film tubing, pressure and suction tubing, food-grade configurations, as well as high-temperature variants.

Wide Range of Materials for Food-Grade Applications

The choice of the right material is crucial for the safety and efficiency of food-grade applications. The range includes a wide selection of food-grade materials that meet the high requirements of the food, pharmaceutical, and chemical industries.

The elastomers and rubber materials include EPDM (Keltan®), which is characterised by high temperature and chemical resistance, as well as EPDM/PP compounds (Norprene®, Santoprene®, PharmMed®), which offer excellent abrasion resistance and flexibility. NBR (Perbunan®/nitrile/nitrile rubber) is particularly resistant to oils, fats, and many chemicals, while PUR (Vulkollan®) offers high mechanical load capacity and elasticity. The portfolio of food-grade materials is complemented by PVC (THOMAVINYL) with good mechanical and dielectric properties, as well as silicone (THOMASIL/silicone rubber), which is characterised by high temperature resistance, elasticity, and physiological safety. Tygon (cross-linked PVC) offers extended chemical resistance to many media and is particularly durable.

For special applications with particularly high requirements for chemical resistance and temperature resistance, fluoroplastics are used. These include FEP (fluorinated ethylene propylene) with excellent resistance to aggressive chemicals, PTFE (THOMAFLON/polytetrafluoroethylene) with exceptional temperature and media resistance, as well as PVDF (Solef®/Kynar®), which is characterised by high stability against acids, alkalis, and solvents. In addition, LDPE (low-density polyethylene) and LLDPE (linear polyethylene) provide economical solutions for applications requiring high purity and easy processing.

Thanks to this comprehensive selection of tested materials, the optimal food-grade material solution is available for every food technology, pharmaceutical, or chemical application.

Food-grade elastomer tubing, rubber tubing, and soft plastic products in our range exhibit the following temperature resistance:

  • EPDM (Keltan®): -35 °C to +95 °C
  • EPDM/PP (Santoprene®, Norprene®, PharmMed®): -50 °C to +140 °C

FDA-Compliance and BfR-Compliance

Food-grade versions meet the requirements of the European Pharmacopoeia and are USP Class VI-compliant; in this case, these are FDA-compliant and BfR-compliant types.

EPDM/PP Hose Variants

These variants are also referred to as Santoprene, THOMAPREN, or Norprene food and pharma hoses; EPDM/PP versions are appropriately conditioned. The Shore hardness is A 68° according to DIN 53505, with an operating temperature range from -40 °C to +135 °C.

EPDM Tubing

EPDM versions in the RCT range are offered as beverage, water, drinking water and food-grade tubing. The drinking water products are KTW/DVGW-approved, while the beverage and food-grade versions comply with FDA and BfR standards. The pressure rating is 10 bar at +20 °C, with a working pressure range from 6 bar to 12 bar at +20 °C depending on dimension.

NBR Tubing

These types, also known as Perbunan variants, are used as steam hoses, food-grade beverage tubing, and suction and pressure designs. They are FDA/BfR-certified and designed for temperature ranges from -30 °C to +100 °C, with a maximum operating pressure of 10 bar at +20 °C. The NBR compound is ideally suited for conveying hot water and fatty foods and is robust and abrasion-resistant.

PUR Tubing

PUR versions as food-grade tubing are recommended as water hoses, film hoses, and as suction and pressure designs. They are vacuum-resistant up to 0.7 bar at +20 °C and pressure-resistant in the range from 3.5 bar to 7 bar at +20 °C. They are used to convey powdered and granular foods such as milk powder, sugar, and granulates.
As food tubing, they are used as classic conveying hoses for pressures up to a maximum of 14 bar at +20 °C, with a Shore hardness of D 52° according to DIN 53505 and a tensile strength of 450% according to DIN 53504. The operating temperature range is from -25 °C to +60 °C.

The Shore hardness is A 70° according to DIN 53505, and they are designed for pressures up to 20 bar at +20 °C. Silicone food-grade tubing is highly temperature-resistant, tear-resistant, tensile, non-toxic, and free from extractable components. The temperature range is -55 °C to +220 °C; the versions are autoclavable at +196 °C and hot-air resistant up to +160 °C. Food-grade tubing is compatible with hose fittings (plastic, one-piece) and plastic hose couplings.

Tygon Tubing

These food-grade tubes are cross-linked PVC products with high mechanical strength and excellent chemical resistance. They are resistant to weak acids and alkalis, transparent, and have rubber-elastic properties. The Shore hardness is A 66° according to DIN 53505, with a temperature range from -36 °C to +74 °C. Tygon versions are offered as food tubing, beverage tubing, pressure designs, and water tubing and are FDA-compliant.
