The Food and Beverage Workplace

The food grade Olefin hose was too stiff to fill a jam into the bottle

A customer replaced a machine hose for filling jam in a sweet roll treat to comply with the Food Sanitation Act, switching from a general PVC to an olefin hose. The hose had a nozzle at the end subject to a lot of vigorous movement, but the olefin hose was too stiff to perform well.

A TOYOSILICONE Hose sample was tested. It was praised for the noticeable softness and improved workability. In addition, the hose assemblies with a structure that prevents liquid accumulation was praised for its low odor and heat resistance that enables cleaning at high temperatures without the need for disassembly cleaning.
