The food industry involves numerous processes, such as raw material transportation, food packaging and equipment cleaning. Throughout the entire production chain, hoses are critical vehicles for media transmission and equipment cleaning. Therefore, their safety concerns the quality of the final product and the health of consumers. As a professional hose manufacturer, we Orientflex adhere to core “food-grade” standards. Then we develop comprehensive hose solutions covering food transportation and equipment cleaning. Besides, our comprehensive product series is compatible with a variety of solid and liquid foods like milk, juice, beer, cooking oil, grains, etc. With certificates like FDA and CE, our food grade hoses has been widely used in dairy factory, bakery, cannery, brewery, etc
Material Safety
The core of food safety begins with rigorous material selection. All of our food-grade hoses are made from materials certified for direct food contact, eliminating contamination at the source.
Non-adsorbent, Easy-to-Clean
The inner surface undergoes a special polishing treatment, achieving a surface roughness of Ra ≤ 0.8μm. This prevents the adsorption of food residue, grease, or pigments.
Anti-Microbial Growth
Some hoses are formulated with food-grade antimicrobial ingredients to inhibit the growth of common pathogens such as E. coli and Staphylococcus aureus. They are particularly suitable for the low-temperature, high-humidity environments of dairy and beverage production.
Clean Process
High-quality materials require clean processes to ensure hose safety from production to delivery. Our hose production workshop adheres to GMP-grade cleanliness standards and is equipped with an air purification system and ultraviolet disinfection equipment. Furthermore, production personnel are required to wear sterile work clothes, gloves, and masks to prevent contamination of the product from both personnel and the environment.
Compliance Testing
To ensure that every hose leaving our factory meets food-grade standards, we have established a “triple testing system” to ensure safety at every level.
Pre-shipment inspection: Each hose undergoes a leak-tightness test, internal wall cleanliness test, and material dissolution test.
Regular third-party sampling: Quarterly, a random sample of products is sent to a reputable third-party testing agency for comprehensive testing for heavy metals, plasticizers, microorganisms, and other factors.
Industry-Specific Certifications: For export customers or specific food applications, our hoses can also offer additional certifications such as CE and NSF.
From dairy production lines to beverage bottling plants, our food-grade hoses have served thousands of food industry customers, making us their trusted partner for “safe production.” Regardless of the food material you need to transport or the equipment you need to clean, we provide a safe food-grade hose solution.
