Howdy y'all!

We are looking to upgrade our manufacturing setup to use a food grade hose. We are currently using a pneumatic filler with a traditional hopper that we will by hand with a pot.

This is the hose we are looking to upgrade to:

Wanted some input from a food safety standpoint if a hose like this would be able to put directly into the product or if we would need some extra hardware that would need to plug into it. I have seen some attachments but for the life of me can't find it via a google search. I have a wonderful drawing to help 'explain'.

Thanks all!

Handy Filler offered some high temp silicone tubing. I haven't looked at their website in a while, not sure what they offer for machines now. I'd look at high temp food grade tubing. Probably available online by the foot. Seems easier to clean than the braided SS. I use similar in my set up with a heated dispenser. I just shove the tubing onto the spout and electrical tape it in place. When finished bottling, I throw away the tape, wash the tubing and reuse.

Depending on what type of intake valve or orifice you have on your filler machine, might have to piece together a couple of tubing sizes to make it work.

hope it helps, good luck~

Second for McMaster-Carr, this is the tubing we use in nearly a identical setup. Also depending how quickly you are filling you will have heat loss. You can get heat tape and wrap it around the tube as they are rated for 390 degrees. It won't make huge numbers, but enough so you won't drop out of that 185+ fill range.

The hose in the first post is not food-safe.
