Powdered food hoses
29 October, 2009 byTrelleborg Industrial Hose has launched a compound for food hoses that prevents the accelerated wear usually associated with static dissipation when transferring powdered foodstuffs. Following extensive laboratory tests and in applications with end-users, the company can offer a white food-grade compound that is conductive enough to dissipate static electrical charges, according to ISO 8031, while meeting the requirements of FDA 21 CFR 177.2600. Critical tests with sugar have given good results, proving the service life of the hose is increased tenfold when compared to a non-conductive white food-grade hose.
