Overview

FaBLINE

With excellent flexibility and kink-free design requiring less force to bend than competitor smooth bore products, FaBLINE^TMoffers a versatile hose solution throughout production processes. FaBLINE hoses carry up to twice the flow of similar-sized convoluted delivery hoses, providing a faster, more efficient processing solution. For applications where hoses are tasked to dispense highly viscous media in precise quantities, traditional rubber hoses can block or burst. FaBLINE’s low friction, smooth bore construction will minimise back-pressure to avoid downtime and material losses.

Features and benefits

Increased product service life for reduced replacement, downtime and labour costs
Reduced CIP downtime with cost savings on chemicals and utilities
Superior flow rates for shorter load/unload times and lower processing cost
Increased CIP chemical compatibility reduces cycle times and the risk of recall and product spoiling

PTFE liner tubes are chemically resistant to all CIP, SIP and Autoclave conditions. Static build-up is prevented in FaBLINE hoses during steam or dry air purging by their conductive liners. Assemblies are electrically continuous between ends as standard and designated M/Ω-L according to EN16643. Customers are advised to ensure appropriate grounding at the hose ends.

Frequent and rapid phase change in the transported media from liquid to gas and back, could shorten the expected hose life. Customers should inform Aflex Hose of the process details to confirm suitability prior to ordering.

FaBLINE hoses are not suitable for exposure to high energy radioactive sources, including Gamma radiation which embrittles PTFE.
