Description
This premium reinforced TPU food hose is a high-performance, flexible transfer hose designed specifically for handling foodstuffs, beverages and other hygiene-critical media. Manufactured from food-grade thermoplastic polyurethane with a smooth inner bore, it provides reliable flow with minimal product retention, making it ideal for demanding processing and transfer applications.
Combining excellent abrasion resistance with outstanding flexibility, this hose is well suited to food and drink production lines, dairies, breweries, bakeries and general processing plants. A wide choice of outside and inside diameters, coil lengths and wall/reinforcement options allows you to specify the right configuration for everything from light-duty transfer to more intensive suction and delivery duties.
Product Features
- Food-grade thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) construction with a smooth, non-porous inner surface for hygienic product transfer.
- Reinforced hose wall for enhanced pressure stability and kink resistance during suction and delivery applications.
- Available outside/inside diameters including 45.1 mm, 47.2 mm, 52.8 mm, 59.4 mm, 68.6 mm, plus a wide range of additional sizes to suit standard process connections.
- Multiple coil lengths available, including 38.1 m, 40 m, 45 m, 50.8 m and 60 m, as well as many other length options to minimise joints and waste.
- Offered in three principal configuration options (30, 20 and 10) to cover different wall thickness or pressure rating requirements.
- Smooth-bore design to optimise flow, reduce pressure loss and support effective cleaning and flushing.
- Flexible construction for easy routing around equipment, conveyors and tight plant layouts.
Key Features and Benefits
- Hygienic performance: Smooth inner surface reduces product build-up, aiding cleaning regimes and helping to maintain product quality.
- Durable and long lasting: Reinforced TPU offers excellent abrasion resistance, extending hose life in applications with frequent movement or particulate-laden media.
- Process versatility: Wide choice of diameters and coil lengths allows matching to existing pipework, fittings and production layouts.
- Operational reliability: Reinforced wall construction improves resistance to kinking and collapse under vacuum, supporting consistent flow.
- Easy handling: High flexibility makes the hose simple to install, reposition and store, reducing downtime during changeovers.
- Cost-effective: Robust design and long service life help lower replacement frequency and overall maintenance costs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this hose suitable for direct contact with food and beverages?
Yes, the hose is manufactured from food-grade thermoplastic polyurethane with a smooth inner surface, making it suitable for direct contact with a wide range of foodstuffs and beverages in hygienic processing environments.
Can I cut the hose to shorter lengths on site?
The hose is typically supplied in standard coil lengths, which can be cut to shorter lengths using appropriate cutting tools and techniques. Always ensure cut ends are clean, square and correctly fitted with compatible hose tails and clamps to maintain performance and hygiene.
How do I choose the correct diameter and configuration option for my application?
Select the inside diameter to match your existing pipework, fittings and required flow rate, and then choose from the 30, 20 or 10 configuration options according to your desired wall thickness or pressure rating. If in doubt, refer to your system pressure and vacuum requirements and match them to the hose performance data provided by your supplier.
