Is VINOFLEX EASY flexible hose for wine and spirits safe for use with 96% alcohol and compliant with food-contact regulations?

Yes. VINOFLEX EASY flexible hose for wine and spirits is specified for transfer of alcohols up to 96% and for other food substances, with an inner layer that is odorless, tasteless, free of phthalates, bisphenol A, and PAHs (ZEK 01.4-08 Cat.1) and tested for heavy metals. It complies with food-contact legislation 1935/2004/EC and GMP 2023/2006/EC; the inner layer meets FDA 21 CFR 177.2600, BfR XXI cat. 2 and D.M. 21/03/73. Construction materials (IIR inner layer, approved coatings) and stated use limit (alcohols up to 96%) indicate suitability and regulatory compliance for contact with 96% alcohol when installed per manufacturer recommendations (use EASY SHELL clamp shells). Temperature, pressure and installation limits should be observed.

Can VINOFLEX EASY flexible hose for wine and spirits be cleaned with standard sanitizers used in breweries without damaging the inner IIR layer?

Yes. VINOFLEX EASY flexible hose for wine and spirits can be cleaned with standard brewery sanitizers without damaging the inner IIR (butyl rubber) layer, provided sanitizers and concentrations are compatible with butyl rubber and used according to manufacturer instructions and contact-time limits. The hose inner layer is food-contact compliant (FDA 21 CFR 177.2600, BfR XXI cat.2, EU 1935/2004 & GMP 2023/2006), odorless/tasteless and resistant across â40Â°C to +120Â°C, and the product is intended for alcohols up to 96%. To ensure long-term performance, avoid incompatible strong oxidizers or solvents not recommended for IIR and follow sanitizer manufacturer and hose supplier guidance.

Does VINOFLEX EASY flexible hose for wine and spirits resist kinking during tight-radius installations?

Yes. VINOFLEX EASY flexible hose for wine and spirits resists kinking in tight-radius installations. Its external corrugation and elastic construction provide exceptional flexibility, while the steel spiral reinforcement and synthetic cord maintain sectional stability under bending. Recommended installation with the EASY SHELL clamp shells, shaped to fit the corrugation, further prevents local deformation and kinking during tight bends. The hoseâs materials and temperature/pressure ratings (working pressure 10 bar, vacuum 0.6 bar, â40Â°C to +120Â°C) support reliable performance in demanding transfer applications.
