Very lightweight and flexible suction and discharge hose, intended for general industrial applications (in industry, construction, agriculture). It can be used for water, light chemicals, sludges and wastewater, plant protection products, other liquids (excluding fats, oils, and hydrocarbons) as well as for air, vacuum transfer of dust, powders, granules, and other lightly abrasive bulk materials (non-greasy). Abrasiveness and potential static electricity issues should be considered. In the food industry, it can be used for the transfer of hydrated food, acidic substances, and alcohols up to 20%, e.g., juices, beverages, beer, wine (simulants A, B, C; up to +60°C and 2 hours). Not recommended for milk and its derivatives, as well as oils and fatty food substances. Reinforced with a hard PVC spiral, resistant to impact, ensures good vacuum resistance and prevents hose collapse. The smooth inner surface reduces flow losses and ensures ease of cleaning. The outer surface is slightly corrugated, smooth for small diameters. The FLORIDA hose complies with European requirements 1978/142/EEC, 1935/2004/EC, 1895/2005/EC, and 10/2011/EU (simulants A, B, C), 2023/2006/EC (GMP). Suitable for temporary contact with food during the transfer of food substances – under the conditions specified in the manufacturer’s declaration of conformity (available from Tubes International). Hose material: transparent PVC. Reinforcement: hard PVC spiral (gray). Working pressure for a temperature of 20°C: from 3 bar to 6.5 bar – depending on the hose diameter. As the operating temperature increases, the working pressure value of the hose decreases. Operating temperature: from -5°C to +60°C.
