Food grade filling hose is a kind of pipeline product used for food filling, usually made of various materials. In order to ensure the safety and sanitation of food filling, it is very important to choose the right material.
Let's take a look at the plastic hoses used for video filling. There are several materials:
1. PVC material: PVC material is one of the most commonly used materials for food grade filling hoses. PVC hoses have good clarity, chemical and abrasion resistance, and are also cost-effective. PVC hoses are usually used for filling liquid foods such as juices and beverages.
2. PE material: PE material is a material with high flexibility and impact resistance, which is usually used for filling raw milk, yogurt and other drinks. The surface of PE hose is smooth and will not pollute food.
3. PU material: PU material is a material with high wear resistance and crack resistance. It is often used for filling various sauces, seasonings and other foods. PU hoses are generally more durable than hoses made of other materials.
4. Silicone material: Silicone material is a material very suitable for filling high-temperature food. It has high heat resistance and cold resistance, and can withstand high temperature and high pressure environments. Silicone hoses are usually used for filling high-viscosity liquid foods such as jam and honey.
Knowing what materials are used in the hoses used in the food industry, let's take a look at how to choose a hose with a suitable material.
1. Understand the nature of food: When choosing the material of food-grade filling hose, it is necessary to understand the nature of the food to be filled, such as its pH, viscosity, temperature, etc. Different foods need to choose different hose materials to ensure food safety and quality.
2. Understand the characteristics of hose materials: Different hose materials have different characteristics, such as chemical resistance, high temperature resistance, flexibility, etc. Choosing the right material according to the needs can improve the filling efficiency and safety.
3. Understand the production process: When choosing the material of food-grade filling hose, you also need to consider the production process.
