Silicone Hoses & their impact on the food and pharmaceutical industry

Silicone hoses are widely used in the food and pharmaceutical industries due to their high resistance to heat, chemical corrosion, and contamination. These properties make silicone hoses ideal for transporting a variety of substances, including liquids, gases, and dry ingredients.

In the food industry, silicone hoses are commonly used in the transportation of beverages, such as beer and milk, as well as in the processing of cooking oils and other food products. They are also used in the transfer of hot liquids, such as soups and sauces, and for conveying dry ingredients, such as flour and sugar.

Being able to withstand high temperatures (with a melting point of around 300°C)! Another reason why many of our customer continue to use our silicone hoses is due to their versatility and ability to main it’s strength at even the lowest of temperatures (perfect for cold refrigerated environments)!

In addition to its temperature resistance, silicone is also highly resistant to chemical corrosion. This makes it suitable for use with a range of chemicals, including acids and bases, ask well as cleaning agents and sanitizers. This makes it an ideal material for use in the pharmaceutical industry, where it is used to convey a variety of substances, including medications and medical supplies.

Silicone hoses are also easy to clean and maintain, which is important in industries we work with where hygiene is a top priority. They can be easily sterilized using steam or chemical cleaning agents, and they do not harbour bacteria or other contaminants. This makes them particularly useful for use in the handling of food and pharmaceutical products.

In conclusion, silicone hoses are an important component in the food and pharmaceutical industries due to their high resistance to heat, chemical corrosion, and contamination. They are able to withstand high temperatures and a range of chemicals, and are easy to clean and maintain. By using silicone hoses, companies in these industries can ensure the safety and purity of their products, as well as comply with strict industry regulations.
