Compliant Masterflex product series Master-PUR Fishtec
Technical dealers rely on the performance of Master-PUR L FishTec. Thanks to its outstanding abrasion resistance, excellent bending properties and exceptional flexibility, this hose type remains durable and fit for purpose even under the most demanding aquatic conditions. It offers high resistance to microbes, hydrolysis and stress cracking, making it a reliable choice for use in harsh environments. In addition, the material properties of the tubing ensure a long service life - even with intensive use.
In accordance with FDA regulations (CFR 21-Item 17.2600), this type of hose not only ensures safety and hygiene, but also the highest quality in food processing.
A smooth Fisherman's friend - Master-PUR L Fishtec
This PU hose has been specially developed for the requirements of the fishing industry and offers optimum flow technology with its seamless, smooth inner core and joint-free connection technology.
The Master-PUR Fishtec product series enables the safe and gentle transport of fish with maximum flow speed and without friction.
The hose for land and water applications consists of an ether-based TPU, reinforced with an impact-resistant, food-safe PVC hard spiral.
The wall thicknesses vary between 0.4 mm and 0.8 mm, making the hose both flexible and robust. Overall, these hose types ensure high cargo and transport quality, which is particularly important in areas such as offshore aquaculture, fish farming and fish processing, where maximum precision is required.
Product impressions
Consumer & Professional - Fluoropolymer moulded hoses
Do you also smell the aroma of fresh coffee specialities from time to time? With around 2.6 billion cups consumed worldwide, this popular hot drink is the second most consumed beverage after water.
For fully automatic coffee machines and applications in the Consumer & Professional segment, for example, we rely on particularly high-quality, durable tubing made of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), fluoroethylene propylene (FEP) or safe perfluoroalkoxy polymer (PFA). Due to their material properties, these work excellently when hot water and substances are channelled through them. Often in a combination of precisely customised shapes for tight installation situations in appliances.
Technical distributors and original equipment manufacturers trust the compliant food hoses made from safe high-performance fluoropolymers - for 100% flavour & maximum food safety that you can taste.
Hose variety for food production
No matter where or on what occasion food products are consumed, safety in the upstream production process is the be-all and end-all. Risk-free food production is not a matter of luck, but it will be a matter of luck for you and your customers if you rely on food-compliant high-tech hoses from the Masterflex Group right from the start, such as the Master-PUR H Food A PU suction and transport hose .
With the right plastic hoses, you can reduce the risk of contamination in the production process - for example through abrasion or the formation of bacteria and salmonella at connections. Your customers will thank you for it!
We will be happy to advise you on certifications, ATEX conformity, product coding, 100% traceability and much more. To help you - or your customers - produce more safely, we have compiled a practical checklist for the use of food-compliant hoses.
Food hoses Product examples
Production peripherals RPA plastic hoses
Whether in the packaging line, when handling sensitive foodstuffs or in automated production processes - our hoses ensure safe, reliable performance. Our flexible and robust plastic tubing is the perfect choice for RPA applications in food production.
Safety and precision are key here. The flexible Novoplast Schlauchtechnik pneumatic hose Master-Tube PUR 98 A Food, for example, fulfils these core requirements. As the first food-approved PU hose in Europe, this high-performance hose is now available in various colours. These plastic hoses not only offer exceptional durability, but also precise control of fluid and air flows to maximise the efficiency of robotic and automation systems. The food-compliant PFA and PTFE hoses from APT are also used successfully in these sensitive applications.
Food hose systems for filling lines & automation
Our compliant hose and connection solutions for filling lines and automation systems offer maximum hygiene safety and excellent hydrolysis resistance. They prevent contamination and ensure precise control of liquids or compressed air, for example, to keep product quality at the highest level at all times. Thanks to their flexibility, they are ideal for dynamic movements in bottling plants and food technology. Even with frequent bends, the hoses remain stable and reliable. Rely on our solutions to make filling processes, for example, efficient, safe and hygienic.
Looking for a PFA-free alternative? Discover our patented UHMWPE tubing Master-Tube PE Ultra. An abrasion-resistant tube with a low coefficient of friction and good chemical resistance; particularly suitable for feeding technology and automation.
