Elaflon + FEP hoses

Application

The Elaflon + FEP is a universal hose with seamless smooth inner wall in Teflon® FEP, suitable for heavier applications, such as chemical cleaning within the food industry. The hose can be used for both suction and discharge applications for unloading and loading drums, containers, tank and kettle trucks and the equipment of fixed installations. The FEP inner wall is robust and extremely durable in use. In addition, the hose is steamable to as much as 150°C.

The Elaflon + FEP is kink- and shape-proof due to its steel spiral and retains its round shape under negative pressure. Despite its robust construction, the hose is extremely flexible in use. The hose is also available without spiral, which makes the hose suitable for mounting on a reel.

Advantages

• Durable hose with FEP inner wall for high-performance processes in the food industry.
• The smooth FEP inner wall is food-resistant, preventing bacterial growth and meeting the standards required in the food market.
• Because of its smooth inner wall, hose has a low coefficient of friction.
• Excellent non-stick properties due to the seamless smooth inner wall.
• The hose has excellent resistance to (heavy) chemical cleaning.
• Steamable to as much as 150°C.
• The EPDM outer wall is fully conductive , no buildup of static electricity.
• The outer wall is abrasion-resistant, flame-retardant, weather and aging-resistant.
• Highly chemical resistant and excellent for use in CIP processes, for example.
