Less color migration (coloration) in the hose and reduced cleaning time

A silicone hose was used to flow red perilla extract at 90°C during the beverage production process. Color tended to remain in the hose, and the hose cleaning process was time-consuming. In addition, the hoses were replaced with new hoses once a year to prevent foreign substance contamination.

We tried out the FUSSOTHERMO-S100°C Hose, which is heat resistant to 100°C and its innermost layer is made of fluorine resin. No coloring or surface stickiness, and little odor residue after washing. In addition, production engineering workers have evaluated the product as less likely to bend and easier to handle than silicone hoses.
