The hose element is critical to ensure pump performance, durability and efficiency. Bredel composite reinforced hoses are constructed from high-quality compound rubbers reinforced with up to four individual layers of braided nylon, and finished by high-precision machining. White inner layer suitable for food contact. Outer layers are machined to ensure critical tolerances are maintained.

Suitable for all food products including oils and greases. Meets EC standards. Available for APEX 10/15/20 pumps only.

Perfect 100 % compression eliminates slippage which can destroy shear sensitive product and reduce metering accuracy.
