Food Hoses
Food hoses are frequently used in the food industry and gastronomy to transport liquids such as juice, oil, wine, and beer. Food hoses are typically made from food-safe material that meets the requirements of the EU Food Contact Regulation. These include materials such as silicone, rubber, polyurethane, and polyvinyl chloride (PVC). It is important that food hoses are made from food-safe material to ensure that they do not release any chemical substances into the food they transport.
Food hoses made from NBR: NBR stands for nitrile rubber, also known as Buna-N. NBR hoses are made from nitrile rubber, a synthetic rubber that is particularly resistant to oils and fats, and can be used in both the dairy and beverage industries. Food-grade NBR hoses are specifically designed for use in the food industry and comply with the requirements of the EU Food Contact Regulation (EC) 1935/2004. They are made from food-safe nitrile rubber and can therefore be used safely in contact with food. One advantage of NBR hoses is that they are very resistant and durable. They are also easy to clean and offer good temperature resistance.
Quality of Food Hoses
A high-quality food hose should have several important characteristics:
-
It should be made from food-safe material and comply with the EU Food Contact Regulation to ensure it does not release any chemical substances into the food it transports.
-
It should be robust and durable to ensure long service life and reliable function even with frequent use.
-
It should have good flexibility to be easy to install and use.
-
It should be made from hygienic material and easy to clean, to ensure no bacteria or contaminants enter the food.
-
It should have good temperature resistance to ensure reliable performance even at high or low temperatures.
-
It should have good pressure resistance to ensure it is not damaged during liquid transport.
How can you recognize a food hose?
Food hoses are subject to a wide range of regulations and must meet both national and international requirements.
Once these requirements are met, it can be assumed that no potentially harmful substances are transferred to food. Ensuring the food safety of a hose is demonstrated by continuous marking of the hose with the unmistakable glass-fork symbol and the manufacturer’s trademark.
This important marking helps ensure compliance with the requirements of Regulation (EC) No. 1935/2004 for rubber hoses and EU Regulation 10/2011 for plastic hoses. These markings are more than just symbols – they stand for the manufacturer’s commitment to maintaining the highest standards of food-grade safety and hygiene.
Which standards and regulations apply to food hoses in the EU?
In the EU, several standards and regulations apply to food hoses. These include:
-
The EU Food Contact Regulation (EC) 1935/2004: This regulation defines which materials may be used for contact with food and what requirements these materials must meet.
-
EU Regulation (EU) 10/2011: This regulation defines the requirements for materials and articles intended for food contact, including food hoses.
-
EU Regulation (EU) 2023/2006: This regulation sets requirements for the hygienic design of materials and articles intended for food contact, including food hoses. It is important that food hoses comply with these standards and regulations to ensure they are safe and hygienic for contact with food.
