Description
This premium food grade antistatic TPU hose is a versatile, flexible ducting solution designed for medium suction applications where cleanliness, durability and electrostatic control are essential. Manufactured from high-quality thermoplastic polyurethane and reinforced with a robust PVC spiral, it combines excellent mechanical strength with reliable flexibility across a wide temperature range.
Ideal for use in food and beverage handling, pharmaceuticals, and other hygiene-critical environments, this hose offers safe transfer of powders, granules and liquids from -40°C up to 80°C. With a wide choice of diameters and coil lengths, it can be tailored to suit fixed installations, mobile plant and machinery, and complex ducting runs.
Product Features
- Food grade thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) construction for safe handling of foodstuffs, ingredients and sensitive materials.
- Reinforced with a rigid PVC spiral for enhanced crush resistance and stability under medium suction conditions.
- Antistatic design helps to dissipate static charges generated during conveying of powders and bulk materials.
- Wide range of outside/inside diameters, including 36.6 mm, 45.1 mm, 47.2 mm, 52.8 mm and 59.4 mm, plus many additional options to suit different plant connections.
- Multiple coil lengths available, including 30 m, 38.1 m, 40 m, 45 m and 50.8 m, with further length options for efficient routing and reduced waste.
- Broad operating temperature range from -40°C to +80°C for use in chilled, ambient and moderately elevated temperature environments.
- Lightweight, flexible hose wall for easy installation, routing around equipment and connection to existing systems.
Key Features and Benefits
- Food safe materials support compliance with hygiene standards in food processing, beverage production and pharmaceutical handling.
- Antistatic properties reduce the risk of dust ignition and nuisance static build-up when conveying powders and dry bulk products.
- Reinforced PVC spiral delivers excellent resistance to kinking and crushing, helping to maintain consistent flow and suction performance.
- Flexible construction simplifies installation in confined spaces, around machinery and through complex routing paths, saving time on site.
- Wide choice of diameters and coil lengths allows closer matching to system requirements, minimising pressure loss and material waste.
- Temperature resilience from -40°C to 80°C ensures dependable service in cold stores, production areas and warm process zones.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this hose suitable for direct contact with food products?
Yes, the hose is manufactured from food grade TPU, making it suitable for conveying a wide range of foodstuffs, ingredients and other products where direct contact with the hose wall is required.
Can this hose be used in very cold storage or chilled environments?
Yes, the hose is designed to operate from -40°C to +80°C, so it can be used in most chilled and cold store applications, as well as in standard ambient production areas.
How should the hose be installed to make use of its antistatic properties?
The hose should be correctly earthed as part of the installation, typically by connecting the spiral or an appropriate fitting to a suitable earth point, so that any static charge generated during conveying can be safely dissipated.
