Description
This premium multilayer thermoplastic rubber hose is engineered specifically for milk suction and delivery duties, combining excellent flexibility with robust performance. A steel spiral reinforcement embedded within the wall provides added strength and kink resistance, ensuring reliable product transfer even under demanding dairy processing conditions.
Suitable for use in dairies, food processing plants and milk collection systems, this hose is designed to handle frequent movement, repeated bending and continuous operation. Available in a wide choice of diameters and coil lengths, it offers a practical, long-lasting solution for both fixed installations and mobile tanker or pump connections.
Product Features
- Multilayer thermoplastic rubber construction for enhanced durability and flexibility in milk handling applications.
- Integrated steel spiral reinforcement to resist kinking and crushing while maintaining excellent bend radius.
- Multiple outside/inside diameter options, including 28 mm, 35.5 mm, 40.5 mm, 42.5 mm and 47 mm, plus a wide selection of additional sizes to suit different couplings and flow rates.
- Coil lengths available in 19 m, 25 m, 30 m, 32 m and 35 m, with further length options for both compact and extended runs.
- Designed for efficient suction and delivery of milk and compatible liquid dairy products in hygienic processing environments.
- Good resistance to flex fatigue, abrasion and typical cleaning regimes used in dairy and food processing.
- Offered with performance options (such as 60 or 30 rated working parameters) to match different pressure or duty requirements.
Key Features and Benefits
- Excellent flexibility makes installation easier, especially where the hose must route around equipment, into pits or along irregular pipework.
- Steel spiral reinforcement enhances vacuum and pressure stability, reducing the risk of hose collapse during suction operations.
- Multilayer design improves service life by combining abrasion resistance, mechanical strength and flexibility in a single hose.
- Wide range of diameters and coil lengths allows close matching to existing systems, helping to minimise pressure loss and product wastage.
- Smooth internal bore supports efficient product flow and effective rinsing and cleaning, contributing to good hygiene practices.
- Suitable for static and mobile use, ideal for both fixed plant connections and frequent hose handling on tankers or portable pumps.

Applications and Ideal Uses
This hose is intended for demanding milk and liquid dairy transfer operations where flexibility, reliability and resistance to collapse are essential.
- Milk suction lines on collection tankers and bulk storage tanks.
- Delivery and transfer hoses in dairies and milk processing plants.
- Pump suction and discharge lines for liquid dairy products and similar food-grade media.
- Temporary or mobile transfer setups during equipment maintenance or plant changes.
- General industrial liquid handling where a flexible, reinforced suction and delivery hose is required (subject to compatibility checks).
Frequently Asked Questions
Can this hose be used for both suction and discharge of milk?
Yes, the hose is designed for both suction and delivery duties. The steel spiral reinforcement helps prevent collapse under vacuum, while the flexible thermoplastic rubber construction supports reliable discharge and transfer operations.
What diameter and coil length should I choose for my installation?
Select the inside diameter to match your existing fittings and to provide the required flow rate, then choose the nearest available coil length that covers the run with minimal excess. Common options include 28 mm to 47 mm diameters and 19 m to 35 m coils, with additional sizes available for more precise matching.
Is this hose suitable for hot cleaning fluids or chemicals?
The hose is intended primarily for milk and compatible liquid dairy products under typical processing and cleaning conditions. It may be suitable for certain hot cleaning fluids or chemicals, but you should always check compatibility and operating temperature limits against the detailed technical data for your specific cleaning regime.
