Food grade rubber hoses are mainly used in the food production and supply chain. It must not affects the taste and color of the food, and must meet the hygiene requirements. Our food grade hose uses high-quality rubber raw materials, has the product characteristics of wear resistance, oil resistance, and high pressure resistance. It is suitable for inhaling and transporting milk, beer, juice, oil, their by-products and greasy fluids. It is widely used in dairy factories, edible oil factories, cheese factories, beverages, beer factories or other food factories.
Food grade rubber hose characteristics
- No plasticizer, no animal-derived tube inner.
- Prevents the spread of bacteria.
- No contact pollution to the transported product.
- Resistant to common cleaning agents.
- Excellent resistance to atmospheric erosion and aging.

Frequently Asked Questions
What materials are used in the construction of food grade hoses?
The inner tubes are typically made from high-quality NR (Natural Rubber), NBR (Nitrile Rubber), or EPDM food-quality rubber, ensuring they are plasticizer-free and safe for food contact.
Can these hoses be used for high-temperature sterilization?
Yes, these hoses have a standard temperature range of -20℃ to 90℃ and can be steam sterilized at temperatures up to 130℃ for a maximum of 30 minutes.
Are the hoses resistant to oils and cleaning agents?
The synthetic materials used for the hose surface are specifically designed to resist common cleaning agents, wear, atmospheric erosion, and aging, while being suitable for greasy fluids.
What types of food products can be transported using these hoses?
They are suitable for inhaling and transporting a wide range of products including milk, beer, fruit juice, edible oils, and other greasy or liquid food by-products.
Do these hoses have a safety factor for pressure?
Yes, our food grade rubber hoses feature a safety factor of 3 times the working pressure, providing enhanced reliability during operation.
Can the hose structure be customized for specific requirements?
Absolutely. While we provide standard data sheets, the tube material, reinforcement layers, and dimensions can be customized to meet your specific industrial needs.
