Applications of Aflex PTFE hoses in food, pharma, and chemistry

In demanding process environments, such as in the food industry, pharmaceuticals, and chemistry, Aflex PTFE hoses are used for the safe and efficient transfer of various media. Thanks to their excellent chemical resistance, temperature resistance, and flexibility, these hoses provide a robust and hygienic solution for numerous applications.

Typical applications of Aflex PTFE hoses include:

  • Sterile processes in the pharmaceutical industry, such as the transfer of APIs and injectable fluids, where validation and product integrity are crucial.
  • CIP and SIP cleaning systems in food & beverage, where hoses must withstand steam, alkalis, and acids.
  • Transport of aggressive chemicals in the chemical sector, including solvents, acids, and bases that standard rubber or PVC hoses cannot handle.
  • Viscous media in cosmetics and personal care, such as creams, gels, and lotions that require a smooth inner wall and high flexibility.
  • Hygienic process lines in laboratories and biotechnology, where precise dosing and easy cleaning are essential.

With Aflex PTFE hoses from Imbema, you choose a high-quality solution that not only performs under tough conditions but also meets the strictest standards in terms of hygiene, safety, and documentation.

Frequently asked questions about PTFE hoses

PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) – also known as 'Teflon' – has unique properties that set it apart from silicone and other plastics. It withstands extremely high temperatures, resists almost all chemicals, and has a very low friction coefficient. While silicone is more flexible, PTFE offers greater chemical resistance and is ideal for cleanroom, food, and pharmaceutical applications.
Although PTFE hoses are primarily used in chemical, pharmaceutical, and food processing applications, they can also be applied in specific pneumatic systems, especially where aggressive vapors or high temperatures are present. Due to their shape stability and heat resistance, PTFE hoses are more reliable than standard plastic air lines in such environments.
Our Aflex PTFE hoses come with international certifications such as FDA, USP VI, EU 10/2011, and, if required, with material certificates or coating specifications. This makes them suitable for use in regulated industries such as food, pharma, and chemicals. Upon request, we can also provide test results and validation protocols.
Yes, the smooth inner surface of PTFE hoses ensures excellent flow of materials such as granulates, pastes, gels, or creams. This prevents product build-up and makes the hose easy to clean. Combined with the right fittings and tools, even abrasive materials can be transported without issue.
We supply our PTFE hoses both per meter and as flexible tubing on rolls. This makes it easy to adapt the length to your process installation. Thanks to their robust structure, these hoses maintain their shape and performance even over long lengths.
