Characteristics and applications
Food-grade silicone elastomer hoses for conveying liquid or semiliquid
products by suction or pumping in the food, pharmaceutical and cosmetic
industries.
All our silicone hoses are platinum cured in accordance with US FDA
(Foods and Drugs Administration) Standard 21 CFR 177.2600, the German
BfR Standard part XV and the USP Class VI standard.
THE VENAIR PRODUCTS ARE NOT AUTHORISED FOR ANY APPLICATION
FOR WHICH IT IS NOT SPECIFICALLY CERTIFIED. It is the user’s
responsibility to ensure the suitability and safety of the VENAIR products
for all intended uses.
Silicone properties
This elastomer is fully non-toxic, stable, odorless, non-stick, hydrophobic,
and steam sterilizable with all common CIP cycles.
Platinum cured
VENAIR Technosil’s platinum cured silicone hoses (peroxide free) are
recommended for any process within the food industry and specially
the pharmaceutical industry. They guarantee a superior level of hygiene
compared to peroxide cured silicone, as shown by the high level of purity
in the chromatography phase.
High Quality SZR System & 3A Hose Assemblies
We recommend our hoses for high-grade aseptic quality requirements,
since they can be connected using 316L stainless steel connection fittings
equipped with the SZR* system (without retention place system). This
allows the connection area between the hose and the metal connection to
be completely free of any areas of possible contamination, thus facilitating
CIP (cleaning in place).
Moreover, some of our crimped hoses can be certified according to the 3A
Sanitary Standard 62-02 for hose assemblies.
