New pump hoses for food applications with 80% greater life

Listen to this article

Watson-Marlow Pumps Group is introducing a new food grade hose for use with Bredel pumps. FDA and EC compliant, the new F-NBR hoses offer better wear resistance and longer life for improved production efficiency and process/product safety.

Any manufacturer in the food and beverage sector that is using peristaltic pumps to dose additives or transfer abrasive, shear sensitive and viscous substances, will know all about the need for process uptime.

To better meet this perennial requirement, Bredel is launching its F-NBR food grade hose which meets FDA 21CFR177.2600, EC 1935/2004 and BfR XXI cat.4 regulations and provides up to 80% longer life.

Bredel hose pumps can deal with products as diverse as soft fruit and shell fish, abrasive yeast and finings, as well as fluids containing high concentrations of hard solids such as whole spices.

Hygiene is seen as another key benefit – unlike other pumps which incorporate a variety of moving parts and can contribute to microbial growth and contamination, Bredel hose pumps have no direct contact with the product at any stage of the production process. The new F-NBR hose can be cleaned by clean-in-place and steam-in-place sterilisation at full velocity, without the need for a bypass.

At a time when organisations are under particular pressure to contain costs, maintain and improve quality and limit the expense of downtime and lost production, the introduction of the new F-NBR hose is good news to food manufacturers.

Available in size 10-100mm, F-NBR hoses are manufactured in accordance with cGMP guidelines.

We demonstrate how pumps deliver significant process efficiencies over the lifetime of the equipment. Whether performing flavouring addition in food processing, chemical metering in water treatment or mineral recovery, we have a solution which can cut pump downtime and reduce costs through higher accuracy metering and transfer. WMFTG has dedicated application engineers available to help customers make the right pump and tubing choice from a range providing microlitres per minute to 80 cubic metres per hour flow rates.

The only part of the pump to come into contact with the product is the tube or hose. This means there are no seals or valves that can wear or fail. Replacing the tube or hose can be performed quickly and safely. Peristaltic pump benefits include:

Total fluid containment with no seals No ancillaries Handle viscous and abrasive slurries and sludge Self-priming capability Dry running without damage to the pump In addition to their range of positive displacement pumps, Watson-Marlow Fluid Technology Group has added PTFE-lined chemical and industrial hoses to their range.
