Selecting the Right Dairy Hose for Your Application

Dairy processing requires specialized equipment to ensure hygiene, efficiency, and compliance with strict food safety standards. Selecting the right hose for milk and dairy transfer is essential for maintaining product integrity, preventing contamination, and optimizing operational performance.

At Summers Rubber, we proudly offer the Rubberworx F0012 Food Transfer Hose, an industry-leading choice for dairy applications. Our comprehensive selection of 3A chlorobutyl dairy hoses is designed to meet the highest sanitary requirements, ensuring safe and efficient dairy transfer.

Why Choose the Rubberworx F0012 Food Transfer Hose?

FDA Nitrile Tube for Oil-Based Dairy Products – The F0012 hose features a premium food-grade nitrile inner tube, specifically engineered to handle dairy products containing oils and fats, such as milk, cream, and butterfat. This prevents degradation and maintains the purity of the product throughout the transfer process.
Corrugated Cover for Durability and Flexibility – The specially designed corrugated outer cover enhances the durability of the hose while maintaining superior flexibility. This allows for easy handling, installation, and maneuverability, reducing strain on equipment and improving efficiency in fast-paced dairy processing environments.
Smooth Tube for Microbial Resistance – The ultra-smooth inner tube reduces microbial buildup, making it easier to maintain a sanitary transfer environment. This smooth surface minimizes contamination risks, simplifies cleaning procedures, and extends the hose’s service life, making it a reliable choice for dairy operations.
3A Certified with LGV Couplings – Rubberworx hoses, when paired with LGV couplings, provide a fully certified FDA 3A-approved dairy transfer solution. With Tri-Clamp and Bevel Seat couplings available, these hoses meet industry demands for secure, leak-proof connections, ensuring compliance with stringent food safety standards.
