A universal, light, very flexible hose suction-delivery, intended for applications general-industrial for water and light chemicals, other liquids (without fat, oils and hydrocarbons). It can be used also for air, vacuum conveying dusts and powders – In that case the abrasiveness and the possible problem of static electricity must be taken into account. It can be used (at temperatures up to +40°C) for liquid and semi-liquid products food such as juices, drinks, beer, wine, alcohols with a concentration up to 50%, milk and its dairy products. Not recommended for oils and greasy food substances. Reinforcement spiral with wire steel, embedded in wall with soft PVC, ensures good resistance to vacuum and kinking hose. transparent wall allows on easy visual control of the flow. As a hose reinforced only with a steel spiral (without a braid), it shows a certain elongation under pressure, which must be taken into account in use, especially at elevated temperatures. hose METALFLEX PVC complies with the European requirements 1935/2004/EC, 10/2011/EU (simulants A, B, C and D1), 2023/2006/EC (GMP) and FDA CFR 21 175.300 and 175.1210. Suitable for temporary contact with food when conveying food substances – under the conditions specified in the manufacturer’s declaration of conformity (available at Tubes International). Hose material: transparent, soft PVC. Reinforcement: galvanised steel spiral. Working pressure at a temperature of 20°C: from 1 bar to 9 bar – depending on the diameter hose. As the working temperature rises, the hose’s working pressure value decreases. Operating temperature: from -10°C to +65°C.
