Edible oil delivery hose is an indispensable part of the production, storage, transportation and sales process of edible oil. However, there are many types of hoses on the market and their quality varies. So how to choose a high-quality, safe and reliable edible oil delivery hose.
Food grade oil resistant hose
When choosing a cooking oil delivery hose, you need to consider the following factors:
Oil resistance
Cooking oil contains a lot of grease and chemicals. Therefore the hose must have good oil and chemical resistance.
High temperature resistance
During the transportation of cooking oil, hoses need to withstand high temperatures. Therefore, it must have high temperature resistance.
Non-toxic and odorless
The transported substance is food. Therefore, the hose must be non-toxic and odorless to avoid contamination of food.
Flexibility
The food hose needs to be flexible to allow for easy bending and installation.
Pressure resistance
Because during the transportation of edible oil, the hose needs to withstand a certain amount of pressure.
Based on the above factors, it is recommended to choose the following materials for edible oil delivery hoses
Polyurethane hose
It has the advantages of high elasticity, high strength, corrosion resistance, non-toxic and tasteless. It is an ideal hose material for conveying food.
PTFE hose
It has excellent heat resistance, corrosion resistance and low friction coefficient. Can be used in the temperature range of -200℃ to 260℃. PTFE hoses are often used in the food industry to transport high-temperature, high-pH foods, such as baked goods, chocolate, etc. At the same time, PTFE hose has excellent chemical stability. It can effectively resist the erosion of various chemical substances and ensure food safety and hygiene.
EPDM hose
Has good heat resistance and ozone resistance. Can be used in the temperature range of -40℃ to 150℃. EPDM hoses are often used in the food industry to transport foods with high temperature and high pH, such as lemon juice, grape juice, etc. At the same time, EPDM hose has excellent flexibility and compression resistance. It can effectively reduce the wear and tear of food during transportation and ensure the quality of food.
