Eximo has launched Liquiflex, a new flexible hose made from food-grade PVC that is suited to liquid transfer.

The hose is suitable for the transfer of liquids in a number of industries including food and beverage and water treatment and has high resistance to both internal and external pressures. It can withstand extremes of both hot and cold temperatures of between 0 and +60°C.

Eximo’s Liquiflex is also crush-resistant and can be used for the delivery and suction of liquids including beer, milk, fruit juices, wine, spirits and a range of other liquid products.

Designed and made in Germany, Eximo’s Liquiflex consists of a smooth, soft, transparent PVC wall combined with rigid anti-shock red PVC-reinforced helix rings, which gives it not only high flexibility but also high strength, structural integrity and a high degree of flexibility even at low temperatures.

Liquiflex is made in diameters of between 20 and 150mm, is totally phthalate-free and conforms to EU and FDA regulations. It has a bend radius of between 90 to 680 mm and a maximum working pressure of 10 bar.

It is also resistant to a number of harsh and hazardous chemicals including ammonium sulphate, ammonia, aluminium sulphate, calcium chloride, citric acid, ferric chloride, glycerine, phosphoric acid, sodium hypochlorite, sulphuric acid and zinc chloride.
