Common materials for food grade steel wire hose
At present, the production materials of food grade steel wire hoses are mainly 304 stainless steel, food grade PU and silicone. However, stainless steel pipes have the disadvantages of heavy weight, difficulty in bending, and easy to produce retention. Therefore, it is not easy to use in production operations. Therefore, the lighter PU material is more popular with customers.
PU steel wire hose is made of food grade PU. While it adopts high temperature extrusion process. And the hose is light and easy to bend. Besides, the inside and outside are smooth to prevent the growth of microorganisms. The hose diameter ranges from 25mm to 100mm. Thus it can fully meet the needs of various industries. It is widely used in food processing, wine, beverages, juice, edible oil, condiments and other industries.
Besides PU steel wire hose, food grade silicone hose is also popular. In addition to food use, it is also ideal for medical appliance. But the price is also higher than other materials.
