With the continuous upgrading of requirements for fluid conveying cleanliness, wear resistance, and weather resistance in the food processing, new energy lithium battery, and fine chemical industries, traditional ordinary conveying hoses generally suffer from pain points such as inner wall accumulation, rapid wear, lack of acid and alkali resistance, and inability to meet food contact certification. Frequent replacement of pipelines not only increases equipment downtime costs, but also easily causes material pollution and loss. In order to adapt to high standard conveying conditions in multiple industries, the ZIMFLEX HOSE 2026 has upgraded its food grade industrial hose series products. It has completed structural and material iterations for powder, slurry, and liquid medium conveying scenarios, achieving comprehensive upgrades in four dimensions: wear resistance, cleanliness level, temperature and pressure resistance, and environmental compliance. It can effectively solve common industry problems such as pipeline aging, material residue, frequent pipe replacement, and non-compliance in industrial conveying scenarios.
The newly launched industrial hose strictly follows the national food contact material safety standards and industrial fluid transportation design specifications. It uses a new modified polymer material to replace traditional PVC and ordinary PU materials, while also considering high elasticity, high wear resistance, and zero precipitation characteristics. The product is suitable for complex conveying scenarios such as food and beverage, lithium battery slurry, chemical powder, pharmaceutical raw materials, etc. Compared with traditional hoses, its service life is increased by more than 45%. The inner wall is smooth and residue free, which can significantly reduce the maintenance cost and material loss of enterprise equipment. It is a standardized pipeline solution suitable for high-end industrial clean conveying scenarios.
1, Core technical parameters
Different from the commonly used hoses in the market, the upgraded food grade industrial hoses have all passed third-party authoritative testing, and all performance parameters are measured data. A complete testing report can be provided to meet customer requirements for factory review, project bidding, and equipment compliance. The core parameters are as follows:
Material and Environmental Protection Level: Made of food grade modified polyurethane material, halogen-free and environmentally friendly, without plasticizers, certified by RoHS and REACH environmental protection standards, in compliance with food contact safety standards, and without harmful substance precipitation.
• Temperature resistance applicable range: Long term stable working temperature of -40 ℃ to+100 ℃ (up to 125 ℃ in a short time), suitable for low-temperature refrigerated transportation, high-temperature material transportation, and workshop high and low temperature alternating working conditions, without hardening, cracking, or deformation in high and low temperature environments.
Pressure resistance and negative pressure performance: The standard working pressure can reach 10 bar, and the negative pressure support is stable. It can be adapted to vacuum feeding, negative pressure suction, and continuous feeding equipment, and the pipeline will not be flattened or collapsed during the conveying process.
• Upgrade of wear resistance: the structure of thickened wear resistant outer layer+smooth and dense inner layer is adopted, and the wear resistance loss is 38% lower than that of ordinary PU hose. For high wear media such as powder, particle, slurry, etc., the erosion resistance and aging resistance are significantly improved.
Advantages of clean conveying: Fully smooth inner wall design, no ripples, no dead corners, material residue rate approaching zero, eliminating powder wall hanging and slurry agglomeration problems, suitable for clean production and sterile conveying conditions.
2, Core advantages of the product
In actual industrial production, the most common problems with ordinary conveying hoses are rapid wear, easy aging, difficult cleaning of accumulated materials, and poor compliance, which directly affect production efficiency and product quality. The new food grade industrial hose has been optimized for targeted use, perfectly adapting to continuous production scenarios.
First of all, high strength, wear resistance and aging resistance can solve the problem of frequent tube replacement. Traditional hoses can experience inner wall wear, thinning of pipe walls, cracking and material leakage problems in just 3-6 months under long-term erosion from powder and particle media, leading to equipment shutdown and pipe replacement, and affecting production capacity. The new hose is designed with material modification and structural thickening, which is fatigue resistant and resistant to repeated bending. Under continuous 24-hour operating conditions, its service life can be stable for more than 12 months, significantly reducing equipment downtime frequency and accessory procurement costs.
Secondly, the fully clean and residue free structure ensures the quality of production materials. The food, lithium battery, and pharmaceutical industries have extremely high requirements for material cleanliness. The rough inner wall of ordinary hoses can easily accumulate dust and slurry, and long-term accumulation can breed impurities and contaminate materials. This hose has a smooth mirror finish on the inner wall, and can be cleaned by rinsing with clean water after transportation. There is no material residue or cross contamination, and it is fully compatible with refined and clean production standards.
At the same time, it has strong adaptability to wide working conditions and higher universality. The product combines high and low temperature resistance, weak acid and alkali resistance, and oil pollution resistance, and can be adapted to multiple scenarios such as beverage transportation, grain powder transportation, lithium positive and negative electrode slurry transportation, and chemical auxiliary material transportation. It does not require frequent replacement of pipeline models according to the medium, reducing the cost of enterprise selection and stocking.
3, Application scenarios
At present, this food grade wear-resistant industrial hose has been widely used in three mainstream industries: food processing, new energy lithium batteries, and fine chemicals. The tested data of the landing project has shown excellent performance, achieving cost reduction and efficiency improvement for cooperative enterprises.
In the food and beverage industry, it is suitable for transporting fruit juice, dairy products, grain and oil, and powdered food raw materials, complying with food contact standards, eliminating the risk of plasticizer precipitation, and helping enterprises pass food safety inspections and production audits smoothly. Compared to traditional hoses, material residue loss is reduced by 90%, and cleaning labor costs are significantly reduced.
In the new energy lithium battery industry, for the transportation of lithium battery positive and negative electrode powders and electrolyte slurries, with high wear resistance and no impurity precipitation characteristics, the problem of decreased battery yield caused by pipeline wear and powder loss is avoided, effectively improving the stability of the production line. Multiple lithium battery supporting enterprises have reported that the frequency of pipeline replacement has decreased by more than 40% and the effective operating time of equipment has significantly increased.
In the fine chemical industry, it is suitable for the transportation of weak acids, weak alkalis, powder particles, environmental protection additives, corrosion resistance, anti-aging, and complex working conditions of the workshop. It solves the hidden dangers of traditional hoses, such as swelling, aging, leakage and leakage, and improves the safety factor of the production line.
4, Selection adaptation, customization, and after-sales support
The newly launched food grade industrial hose supports multi specification customization, covering a full range of commonly used inner diameters from 16mm to 356mm. It can provide one-on-one selection solutions based on customer equipment interfaces, conveying media, pressure conditions, temperature environments, and also supports customized length, special joint matching, anti-static, flame retardant and other special upgrade needs.
