In food, beverage, and personal care production, fluid transfer systems must meet strict hygienic standards while withstanding harsh cleaning chemicals and temperature extremes. Hose failure, contamination, or permeation can disrupt production schedules and compromise product quality.
Aflex Corroline+ and FaBLINE metal hose assemblies are engineered to perform in demanding sanitary environments—supporting compliance, protecting product integrity, and minimizing downtime.
Engineered for Corrosive & CIP Environments
Corroline+ incorporates a bonded PTFE liner encased in 316L stainless steel braid. This construction provides superior resistance to acids, alkalis, and common Clean-In-Place (CIP) chemistries used throughout food and CPG facilities. The bonded liner design helps reduce permeation and extends service life under repeated chemical exposure.
Hygienic Design That Supports Compliance
FaBLINE features a smooth, crevice-free PTFE bore that helps prevent bacterial harborage and supports efficient cleaning cycles. Designed to meet EHEDG and FDA requirements, it enables manufacturers to maintain sanitary processing standards with confidence.
Flexibility That Protects Equipment
Both Corroline+ and FaBLINE assemblies are built for flexibility and vibration absorption. By dampening pump pulsation and mechanical movement, these hoses help reduce stress on connected equipment—contributing to longer pump, valve, and fitting life.
Temperature & Pressure Capability
Corroline+ operates across a broad temperature range from –65°F to 400°F (–54°C to 204°C), making it suitable for steam sterilization, hot water, and chilled process lines.
FaBLINE supports operating temperatures up to 302°F (150°C), ideal for sanitary transfer and cleaning applications.
Pressure ratings vary by hose size and configuration, with Corroline+ available up to 600 psi (40 bar) and FaBLINE up to 230 psi (16 bar).
Customizable to Fit Your Process Skid
Aflex hoses are available in lengths up to 10 meters and can be supplied with tri-clamp, threaded, or flanged end connections. Protective covers and other configuration options allow integration into new or existing stainless-steel skid systems.
Typical Applications
Dairy & Beverage Processing
Transfer milk, juice, and CIP solutions without flavor carryover or contamination risk.
Bakery & Confectionery
Move syrups and cleaning agents reliably while resisting chemical degradation.
Personal Care & Cosmetics
Convey lotions, creams, alcohol-based solutions, and sanitizers through hygienic, compliant lines.
