Wide range of PVC hoses for air, liquids and food

If you are responsible for purchasing or technical operations in a modern manufacturing company, you know that a hose is never just a hose. It is a critical component that must deliver the goods every day – whether it is transporting liquids, air or food. 

Choosing the right PVC hose is about balancing documentation and chemical resistance requirements with the need for uninterrupted flow. At the same time, you are probably often faced with the requirement to keep costs down without compromising on quality or safety. This is where PVC comes into the picture as a strong construction material. It combines strength with a flexibility that makes installation and daily handling easy for your employees. Our PVC hoses are of high-quality and, of course, comply with all current industry standards and regulations. 

PVC (polyvinyl chloride) has been a popular construction material for process hoses since the 1960s. This is mainly due to the versatility of the material. Compared to traditional rubber hoses, you get a solution that is both affordable and extremely durable against chemicals and wear. 

When you choose our PVC hoses, you get a number of specific operational benefits that make everyday production easier.

• Transparency: Many of our PVC hoses are transparent, giving you visual control to monitor fluid flow and check the quality of transport. 
• Chemical resistance: PVC resists a wide range of chemicals, oils, alcohol (up to 50% on food-approved models) and industrial liquids 
• Flexibility: Easy to handle, install and adjust in existing process plants 
• UV and ozone resistance: Suitable for both indoor and outdoor use 
• Phthalate-free: All our PVC hoses are manufactured without phthalates 

PVC hoses are widely used today across food production, the pharmaceutical industry, process plants, construction and agriculture. Their versatility makes them an integral part of many operating situations where hygiene and durability are required. 

Typically, the hoses handle media such as air, water, cleaning agents and non-fatty foods. They perform best at moderate temperatures and pressures, where their light weight and high flexibility come into their own. 

However, it is important to be aware of their limitations. If your production involves highly fatty foods or extreme temperatures (typically above 60-80°C), we would often recommend looking at an alternative hose. 

The range includes several different PVC hoses that cover simple, advanced and high-load installations. 

The Tubclair AL hose is a flexible, lightweight solution. It is ideal for transporting liquids and non-fatty foods at moderate temperatures. The hose is transparent, which facilitates inspection, and its wide range of approvals makes it practical in many different food and process environments. 

If you need more strength than the standard models can provide, Tricoclair AL is the answer. The hose is constructed of three layers with a cast-in polyester reinforcement. The construction provides stable handling properties and allows for a significantly higher working pressure. 

For more demanding tasks involving suction, pressure or transport of powder and chemical products, Plutone Bio is often the choice. A galvanized steel spiral gives the hose high mechanical strength, while the smooth inner wall ensures minimal flow loss and easy cleaning. 

With Tricoflex Performance, you get a hose for harsh environments. It is typically used for demanding cleaning tasks and installations with frequent pressure pulses. Its five-layer construction provides extreme wear resistance and weather resistance. 

Whether you need a standard solution or a customised granule hose, we can put together a solution that fits your production perfectly. Our range includes a wide selection of diameters, lengths and coupling types, and our online hose configurator allows you to quickly configure a hose that matches your specifications – you select the hose type, enter the dimensions and operating data. The system displays the combinations that meet the requirements. 

With more than 40 years of experience in the process industry, we ensure that you get a solution that is both reliable and compliant. Contact us on +45 7020 0422 or write to inquiry@alfotech.eu for a no-obligation consultation. 

A PVC hose is a flexible hose made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC), a durable, chemical-resistant plastic material. PVC is suitable for moderate temperatures and pressures in food production, cleaning and process plants. 

PVC hoses handle air, water, non-fatty foods, cleaning agents, alcohol up to 50% and industrial liquids under moderate conditions. 

PVC hoses can withstand temperatures up to approx. 60-80°C depending on the model. They are suitable for hot cleaning agents and liquids, but not for steam or extreme heat.   

The hose must always match the medium and technical requirements such as temperature and pressure. If you are in doubt, you are always welcome to contact us so that we can find a solution for your specific needs.
