About Food Grade Silicone Tubing & Silicone Hose

Food grade silicone tubing is a flexible, inert hose used to transfer liquids, pastes and gases in hygienic processing environments. It is non-toxic and odorless, so it does not affect the taste or quality of food and beverage products, and it resists kinking, heat and repeated cleaning. Applications include beverage and dairy transfer lines, peristaltic pumps, filling machines, laboratory fluid lines and pneumatic systems in packaging automation. It replaces PVC and rubber where plasticizer leaching or taste transfer is a concern.

How to Choose

  • Inner and outer diameter matched to flow rate and fittings
  • Hardness (Shore A) and wall thickness for pressure and bend radius
  • Temperature range covering your process and cleaning cycles
  • Certification: FDA, LFGB or other food-contact standards
  • Transparency for flow inspection and chemical compatibility

FAQ

Q: What is food grade silicone tubing used for?
A: It transfers liquids and semi-liquids in food and beverage processing, dairy lines, pharmaceutical filling, peristaltic pumps, laboratories and beverage dispensing equipment where purity and easy cleaning matter.

Q: What temperature range can it withstand?
A: Silicone tubing typically works from around -50 degrees Celsius up to +200 degrees Celsius, with short-term peaks higher depending on the compound. It survives steam sterilization, hot filling and refrigerated lines.

Q: How do I choose the right size?
A: Select the inner diameter for your required flow rate, then match the outer diameter to fittings and clamps, and set wall thickness for durability and pressure. CECLE can advise based on your application.

Q: Does silicone tubing affect the taste of products?
A: No. Food grade silicone is inert and non-toxic, so it does not add taste or odor to the fluids it carries, which is why it is preferred for sensitive food and beverage products.
