Premium-quality food and beverage hose for elevated pressure and temperature applications is available. APEWF is specially engineered to handle a wide range of liquid food products such as wine and beer, potable water, and fruit juices, as well as milk and milk by-products.
APEWF is reinforced with a wire helix, making it suitable for suction or discharge applications in industries including pharmaceutical, biotech, and chemical. APEWF offers a smooth, sanitary inner surface for unrestricted flow for uses such as washdown stations, coolant transfer, glycol lines, and others.
