Can SCOTLAND BEÂ® strong alcohol delivery hose safely transfer spirits up to 96% ABV while maintaining food-grade, odorless, and tasteless conditions?

Yes. SCOTLAND BEÂ® strong alcohol delivery hose is specifically designed and widely used for transferring high-proof spirits up to 96% ABV while maintaining food-grade, odorless, and tasteless conditions. Its inner layer is white butyl rubber (IIR) compliant with FDA 21 CFR 177.2600, BfR XXI cat.2, and relevant EU food-contact regulations (1935/2004/EC, 2023/2006/EC GMP), and it is free from phthalates and bisphenol A. The hose is intended for wines, spirits, and other non-fat food substances, and is proven in breweries and distilleries for strong alcohol transfer. Additional safety features include copper wires for electrical continuity to reduce ignition risk during handling of flammable, high-proof alcohol (ensure contact of the wire with the hose ends during installation). Operational specs.working pressure 10 bar and temperature range â40Â°C to +120Â°C.support robust, safe use in typical processing environments.

Is SCOTLAND BEÂ® strong alcohol delivery hose suitable for use with food-grade, odorless transfers of spirits up to 96% ABV?

Yes. SCOTLAND BEÂ® strong alcohol delivery hose is suitable for food-grade, odorless transfers of spirits up to 96% ABV. Its inner white butyl rubber is odorless/tasteless, compliant with FDA 21 CFR 177.2600, BfR XXI cat.2 and EU food-contact regulations (1935/2004/EC, 2023/2006/EC GMP). Itâs widely used in distilleries and for high-proof alcohols up to 96% ABV, free from phthalates and BPA. Copper wire continuity and robust construction enhance safety for flammable, high-proof transfers. Operating range (â40Â°C to +120Â°C) and 10 bar working pressure support typical transfer conditions. Ensure proper installation so the copper wire contacts the hose ends.

Does SCOTLAND BEÂ® strong alcohol delivery hose require grounding via copper wires during installation?

Yes. The SCOTLAND BEÂ® strong alcohol delivery hose includes copper wires that ensure electrical continuity between the hose ends and increase safety when transferring high-proof, flammable alcohol. During installation you must ensure the copper wire makes contact with the hose end (i.e., is connected/grounded) to provide proper bonding/earthing and reduce static discharge risk.
