Reliable hose products suitable for FDA applications

Hi-Tech Duravent is known for its comprehensive line of flexible hose and ducting products. Its portfolio includes products constructed of materials deemed acceptable for use in FDA applications.

The company’s lineup of FDA-acceptable products includes:

UFD Clear: Made of polyurethane and reinforced with a wire helix, UFD Clear hoses offer superior abrasion resistance and excellent flex fatigue. They are capable of handling higher pressures and vacuums than standard ducting, and have the added benefit of allowing users to locate blockages thanks to the see-through design. UFD Clear hoses can reliably operate in temperatures ranging from -53 to 93 degrees C (-65 to 200 degrees F). They are available with inside diameters from two to 18 inches, and standard lengths of 25 and 50 feet. They are also available in lighter or heavier weight versions.

CVD Clear: These hoses are made from clear PVC with a wire helix, allowing users to easily locate blockages. They are an economical alternative to most ducting products, yet sacrifice nothing in performance. CVD Clear hoses offer flexibility for light-duty applications such as air, dust and fumes, and can operate in temperatures ranging from -28 to 82 degrees C (-20 to 180 degrees F). Also available in lighter weight versions, CVD Clear hoses can be ordered with inside diameters ranging from two to 18 inches, and lengths of 25 and 50 feet.

SDH Clear: This static-resistant polyurethane hose reinforced with a plastic helix and copper grounding wire does not outgas and is free of fillers, halogens and surface oils, making it ideal for use in clean rooms or for powder and plastic pellet transfer. It offers a smooth interior, excellent flexibility, abrasion resistance and clarity, and can operate in temperatures ranging from -28 to 82 degrees C (-20 to 180 degrees F). In addition, SDH Clear hoses are available with inside diameters from 1.5 to four inches, and standard lengths of 25 and 50 feet.

UFD-SD Clear: Constructed of specially formulated static dissipative thermoplastic polyurethane, and reinforced with a wire helix, UFD-SD Clear hoses offer excellent flexibility, abrasion resistance and clarity. They do not outgas or contain any fillers, halogens and surface oils, which makes them a suitable choice for clean room, grain dust collection, powder and flour handling applications, or other heavy-duty static applications. These hoses can reliably operate in temperatures ranging from -53 to 93 degrees C (-65 to 200 degrees F), and are available with inside diameters from two to 12 inches, and standard lengths of 25 and 50 feet.

RFH-White: These hoses are made from white thermoplastic rubber reinforced with a wire helix, and do not include any cements, glues or adhesives. This, plus their superior chemical, abrasion, UV and ozone resistance, makes RFH-White hoses suitable for both pharmaceutical and food applications. They can reliably operate in temperatures ranging from -51 to 135 degrees C (-60 to 275 degrees F), and are available with inside diameters from two to 12 inches, and 25-foot lengths.
