Description
This premium transparent TPU hose with stainless steel reinforcement is a high-performance flexible hose designed for demanding food, beverage and pharmaceutical transfer applications. Manufactured from durable thermoplastic polyurethane, it provides excellent clarity for visual monitoring of product flow, while the robust steel spiral prevents kinking and collapse under suction or bending.
Ideal for use on processing lines, filling equipment and transfer systems, this hose combines flexibility, strength and hygiene. Available in a range of outside and inside diameters from 18 mm up to 60.8 mm and coil lengths from 12 m to 50.8 m, it can be tailored to suit a wide variety of installations, from compact machinery hook-ups to longer fixed or mobile transfer runs.
Product Features
- Manufactured from high-quality transparent TPU for clear visual inspection of media flow.
- Stainless steel reinforcement spiral provides excellent crush resistance and vacuum stability.
- Available outside/inside diameters include 18 mm, 27 mm, 33 mm, 40.4 mm, 47 mm, 49.2 mm and 60.8 mm to suit common connection sizes.
- Supplied in a choice of coil lengths including 12 m, 20 m, 25 m, 32 m, 38 m, 40 m and 50.8 m for flexible installation planning.
- Smooth internal bore to help minimise product retention and ease cleaning in hygienic systems.
- Flexible construction for easy routing around equipment, with stable form even under repeated bending.
- Temperature-tolerant TPU suitable for many food, beverage and pharmaceutical processing environments.
Key Features and Benefits
- Transparent construction allows operators to quickly detect blockages, air pockets or product changes, supporting process control and quality assurance.
- Stainless steel reinforcement offers long service life by resisting crushing, deformation and collapse under suction or mechanical stress.
- Choice of diameters and coil lengths reduces the need for cutting and joints, helping to minimise potential leak points and installation time.
- Smooth internal surface promotes efficient product transfer and helps reduce the risk of residue build-up and cross-contamination.
- Flexible yet robust design makes hose handling, set-up and repositioning easier, improving ergonomics and reducing downtime.
- Suitable for a wide range of pumped or gravity-fed liquids commonly found in food, drink and pharmaceutical processes.

Applications and Ideal Uses
This hose is designed for hygienic liquid transfer where flexibility, visibility and mechanical strength are critical, making it well suited to production and processing environments.
- Food and beverage transfer lines on mixing, filling and bottling equipment.
- Pharmaceutical and cosmetic processing, including transfer of liquid ingredients and intermediates.
- Loading and unloading of tanks, vessels and containers in hygienic production areas.
- Mobile transfer systems and hose reels in processing plants requiring frequent repositioning.
- General-purpose hygienic suction and delivery duties where a robust, transparent hose is required.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can this hose be used for both suction and delivery applications?
Yes. The integrated stainless steel reinforcement spiral provides excellent collapse resistance, making the hose suitable for both suction and delivery duties in many food and pharmaceutical transfer systems.
How do I choose the correct diameter and coil length?
Select the hose diameter to match or slightly exceed the nominal size of your existing pipework or fittings, ensuring compatibility with your couplings. Then choose a coil length (from 12 m up to 50.8 m) that allows for the full run with a small allowance for routing around equipment and making final connections.
Is the hose flexible enough for tight bends around machinery?
The TPU construction and spiral reinforcement provide a good balance of flexibility and strength, making it suitable for routing around typical processing machinery. However, avoid bending below the hose’s minimum bend radius to maintain flow efficiency and prevent undue stress on the reinforcement.
