For Enhanced Safety – Markert Marsoflex
As a leader in industrial hose systems, we excel in researching and developing durable hose assemblies for various industries. In the food sector, cleanliness and hygiene standards are continually rising. Expert consultation plays an increasingly vital role in meeting stringent aseptic requirements.
Claus Mehner, our sales expert for hose assemblies, emphasizes:
"Especially in the beverage industry, compliance requirements are becoming stricter. Even with my years of experience, I’m constantly learning to provide the best advice to my customers."
Standards, Compliance, and Approvals
In the food industry, whether transporting fatty substances (e.g., milk, oil, margarine), acidic or alcohol-based media (e.g., beer, wine, juice, vinegar), factors such as resistance, aseptic properties, cleanability, and compliance are crucial.
"I often encounter questions about compliance requirements," says Claus Mehner.
“What does the FDA regulate? When must Regulation (EC) 1907/2006 or BfR guidelines be considered? What is GMP, and when is USP Class 6 necessary? Uncertainty is common, making expert advice essential to select the optimal product for each application. It’s not uncommon to find materials that don’t meet process requirements.”
The Right Material Matters
While material standards in many industries have been established for years, the food industry demands more dynamic solutions. As product quality requirements increase, materials must become more specialized. Odor and taste neutrality are critical, and materials like Butyl, UPE, and PTFE are increasingly used alongside industry staples like NBR and EPDM.
Matching the Hose Type to the Application
Juices and High-Proof Alcohols: Resistance to fruit acids or the use of UPE/PTFE-lined hoses is vital.
Powdered Foods: To prevent static buildup, the conductivity of the hose is key.
Dairies: NBR hoses, such as our Food NBR SD, are popular all-rounders for dairy applications.
Breweries: EPDM is the material of choice, with our Food EPDM SD meeting the latest brewing process requirements.
Pharma-Grade Applications: PTFE hoses and our FoodPharm range fulfill the highest standards, including pharmaceutical-grade compliance.
