More About Beverage Tubing
Beverage Tubing is specially formulated for transfering a wide variety of beverages including soft drinks, fruit juices, flavored teas and bottled water. In virtually all cases, it will not affect the taste or odor of product transferred through it, while its excellent non-wetting properties facilitate complete drainage and permit simple flush-cleaning.
Many of the unique properties inherent to Beverage Tubing also apply to a wide variety of complex applications, ranging from fine cosmetic production to the dispensing of water-based printing inks found in the publishing industry. The versatility and proven performance have made it today’s most widely specified clear, flexible plastic tubing.
Light in weight and easy to handle, Beverage Tubing can be put into service quickly. It readily bends to accommodate abrupt corners and obstructions, requiring a minimum of couplings and fittings. Its flexibility can save up to one-third the footage and much of the labor required to install rigid stainless steel or plastic piping.
The translucent clarity of Beverage Tubing allows the user to see product flow through it so visual monitoring of flow is easy. This is particularly helpful in controlling or adjusting flow during processing. Non-toxic, taste-free and odor-free, it meets applicable regulatory standards for contact with food products.
Beverage Tubing is NSF listed under Standard 51. This standard covers plastic materials and components for use in food and beverage processing and dispensing equipment. It also meets FDA 21 CFR, 175.300 criteria and 3-A Plastics Standard Criteria for use in handling foods and beverages.
Available in sizes ranging from 1/16” I.D. to 3-1/2” O.D.
Extremely flexible, it resists kinks and retains its shape while installing quickly and easily. Beverage tubing excellent flexural fatigue resistance makes it the absolute best choice for use in peristaltic pumps often found in dispensing equipment.
