Description
This premium reinforced TPU hose is designed for demanding food and pharmaceutical transfer applications where cleanliness, durability and process safety are critical. Manufactured from high-grade thermoplastic polyurethane, it offers a flexible yet robust solution for conveying powders, granules and liquids in hygienic environments.
Featuring a smooth inner surface for optimised flow, antistatic properties and excellent resistance to a wide range of chemicals, this hose is ideal for use on production lines, filling systems and transfer stations. A broad selection of diameters and coil lengths allows you to match the hose precisely to your equipment and process requirements.
Product Features
- Available in multiple outside/inside diameters, including 39.9 mm, 41.8 mm, 46.8 mm, 52.6 mm and 61.8 mm, plus many other size options for different flow requirements.
- Supplied in a choice of coil lengths such as 38.1 m, 40 m, 45 m, 50.8 m and 60 m, with additional lengths available to suit both compact and extended runs.
- Reinforced construction with integrated support spiral to maintain hose shape and prevent kinking under suction or pressure.
- Smooth inner bore to minimise product build-up, support effective cleaning and maintain consistent flow rates.
- Antistatic properties to help dissipate electrostatic charges when handling powders and other susceptible materials.
- High chemical and abrasion resistance thanks to quality TPU material, extending service life in demanding process environments.
- Good flexibility with bend radius options (including typical factors such as 20 and 15 times the hose diameter) to simplify routing in confined plant layouts.
Key Features and Benefits
- Optimised for hygiene-critical environments, with a smooth inner surface that reduces the risk of contamination and supports thorough cleaning.
- Antistatic design helps lower the risk of static build-up, supporting safer handling of powders and dusts in food and pharmaceutical production.
- Reinforced construction resists collapse and kinking, ensuring reliable material flow and minimising unplanned downtime.
- Excellent resistance to many processing chemicals, cleaning agents and wear, providing long service life and reduced replacement costs.
- Wide range of diameters and coil lengths allows accurate sizing to existing equipment, helping to improve flow performance and installation efficiency.
- Flexible and lightweight compared with many traditional hose types, making handling, installation and maintenance easier for operators.

Applications and Ideal Uses
This reinforced TPU hose is particularly suited to hygienic transfer operations in regulated industries where cleanability, material compatibility and process reliability are essential.
- Transfer of powders, pellets and granules in food processing plants.
- Conveying ingredients and intermediates in pharmaceutical manufacturing and packaging lines.
- Loading and unloading operations on mixers, reactors, hoppers and silos.
- Flexible connections on filling, dosing and weighing equipment in clean production areas.
- General chemical and process engineering tasks where antistatic and abrasion-resistant hose is required.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this hose suitable for direct contact with food and pharmaceutical products?
The hose is designed for hygienic applications in food and pharmaceutical environments, with a smooth inner surface and high chemical resistance. However, final suitability depends on your specific product and regulatory requirements, so you should confirm compliance with the relevant standards for your process before use.
Can the hose be used for both suction and discharge duties?
Yes, the reinforced construction with an integrated support spiral helps the hose resist collapse under vacuum and maintain shape under pressure, making it suitable for many suction and discharge applications within its recommended operating limits.
How do I choose the correct diameter and coil length?
Select the inside diameter based on the required flow rate, the type of material being conveyed and your existing hose connections. Choose a coil length that allows for the full routing path plus a small allowance for bends and movement, while keeping within the recommended bend radius (typically 15–20 times the hose diameter). If in doubt, refer to your equipment connection sizes and process layout when specifying.
