FOOD / BEVERAGE / COSMETICS / PERFUMES

(A) For Food/Beverage/Alcohol Hose

For transporting foods and beverages, we recommend that you use HAKKO Food Grade Hose Series. It is not a wise decision to select a hose only with flexibility, temperature range, working pressure, and the food sanitation law. Followings are frequently asked questions for food-grade hoses.

Five Frequently Asked Questions!

1. Does the resin odor of the hose move to fluid (Food and beverages)?
2. For soft PVC, does the plasticizer affect fluid?
3. Is it hard to get dirt on the inside of the hose, such as colored dirt of the fluid?
4. Does the hose deteriorate with chemical cleaning and hot water cleaning?
5. Is there enough transparency to visually check the hose after cleaning?

When you select a hose for transporting food/beverage/alcohol, we strongly recommend you choose non-PVC (plasticizer-free) food-grade hose. The plasticizer, which is contained in PVC hose, will elute to the fluid, which badly affects the fluid.

(B) For Cosmetics (Fragrance)

When you transport cosmetics, the hose should be one with high sanitation, low odor, and low elution.

This is because cosmetics directly touch the skin. Also, some cosmetics such as lotion have a high viscosity property, so hoses require cleanness, high chemical resistance, and transparency (to check any stains are left). In the past, PVC hoses were widely used for transporting cosmetics since they were soft and cost-saving, but these days, customers choose a hose that keeps high purity of the fluid.
