APEWF: EPDM FOOD & BEVERAGE HOSE
Wire Reinforcement

APEWF is reinforced with a wire helix, making it suitable for suction or discharge applications in industries including pharmaceutical, biotech, and chemical. APEWF offers a smooth, sanitary inner surface for unrestricted flow for uses such as washdown stations, coolant transfer, glycol lines, and others.

Key Features

• Sanitary, smooth, white EPDM rubber core resists bacteria build-up and complies with FDA standards for use in food contact surfaces
• Excellent chemical resistance properties make this hose ideal for many demanding applications
• Designed for suction or discharge applications
• Odorless and tasteless core – wine, beer, fruit juices, potable water, milk, and milk by-products remain pure
• Helical wire reinforcement helps withstand a higher level of internal pressures and maintain stated vacuum ratings
• Handles a more extreme range of working temperatures than standard EPDM hoses
• Offers improved flexibility over similar fluoropolymer hoses
• Ideal for handling CIP solutions; may also be steam sterilized up to 302°F (150°C) for a maximum of 30 minutes
• Custom designed hose construction for flexibility – easily handles bends, turns, and corners
• Weather, abrasion, and fats resistant smooth rubber cover
• Sizes range from 3/4 in. (19 mm) up to 4 in. I.D. (102 mm)
• Full line of crimp fittings and custom assemblies offered
• Add stainless steel armor casing or cuffs for an extra layer of protection from crushing, kinking, harsh environments, and abrasion while still allowing flexibility
• Laser-etched stainless steel collars for quick, visual hose identification available
• Hose Track™ RF Identification and Lifecycle Analysis System available – RFID tags uniquely identify individual hose assemblies, create audit trails, and track key wear-related events
