We manufacture and sell a lot of sanitary hose assemblies.  Most of these go into the food, beverage, personal care [...]

In today’s post we are going to take a look at the Gore Sta-Pure peristaltic pump tubing. The Gore Sta-Pure [...]

This post will focus on thermal stress and the affects they have on sanitary hose assemblies. As a general rule, the higher the temperature a hose sees, the more stress is put upon it.

Today we are going to look at mechanical stresses and how they affect the longevity of a sanitary hose. Here are basic guidelines we use to ensure longevity in our sanitary hose assemblies.

This post will take a closer look at two important factors when specifying sanitary hoses: live length and minimum bend radius.

So which is the better hose choice? It is really a function of your application. The cost differential between the two is not particularly significant. If you get into applications above 100 PSI, the PTFE hoses are probably preferred. If you need something light and flexible (short load cell jumpers are a good example) silicone works great.

Today we will take a look at one niche area of sanitary hose, anti-static Teflon hose, by going over what static electricity is and what we do to combat it in specific applications.

Aflex has long been known as a premier manufacturer of Teflon Hose.  Its flagship product, Bioflex, is the PTFE hose [...]

Since none of the hose manufacturers publish this data, we at Holland decided to do our own testing. We built a test rig that would allow us to test the drainage of hoses at various angled.
