Continental has further developed its BLAUDIECK hose for the food and beverage industry. To offer maximum safety, cleanliness, robustness and precision, Continental’s ContiTech group sector is the first company to consistently use ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UPE) as the sole material solution for the hose inner lining. This makes the BLAUDIECK SUPER range the ideal choice for all applications in the food and beverage industry, replacing Continental’s previous offering in this sector.

"We are delighted that with BLAUDIECK SUPER we have been able to develop a hose that effortlessly meets the strict national and international requirements of this sector," says Pius Graf, area sales manager in the business segment responsible for food & beverage hoses at Continental. BLAUDIECK SUPER hoses are available now. "The greatest advantage of our new BLAUDIECK SUPER hoses is their flexible application in all areas of the food and beverage industry," explains Pius Graf. "Not only are we increasing process safety and meeting the increasingly strict standard requirements that apply in this sector, especially in Europe. By focusing on UPE as material for the hose core we are also making it easier for buyers and users to find the right hose for each individual situation. After all, BLAUDIECK SUPER is a suitable solution for all situations."

The low permeability of the hose inner lining protects the medium against contamination. At the same time, it makes the hose even more resistant to certain media as well as temperatures up to 95 °C and for short time periods up to 110 °C. This means it is even more durable, easy to maintain and cost effective. Hoses with UPE can be easily cleaned with up to 130 °C saturated steam. As a result, users can effortlessly meet the high hygiene requirements in the food and beverage industry and efficiently switch from one medium to another. And finally, the homogeneous UPE inner lining provides a consistently stable inner diameter, eliminating the risk of impurities and bacterial nests.
