FaBLINE long life PTFE-lined hoses for efficient food processing

Maximise the profitability of your food and beverage production with FaBLINE, the ultimate food grade hose from Aflex. Engineering experts at Aflex have developed FaBLINE to meet the latest hygiene standards.

The patented PTFE-lined hose, with standard 316 stainless steel braid, will ensure efficient product transfer and handling with extended life over any rubber hose alternative on the market.

• Increased service life
• Up to twice the flow of competitor products
• Improved viscous product handling

With excellent flexibility and kink-free design, requiring less force to bend than competitor smooth - bore hoses, FaBLINE offers a versatile hose solution throughout production processes. FaBLINE hoses carry up to twice the flow of similar sized convoluted delivery hoses, providing a faster, more efficient processing solution.

For applications where hoses are tasked to dispense highly viscous media in precise quantities, traditional rubber hoses can block or burst. FaBLINE’s low friction construction will minimise back-pressure to avoid downtime and material losses.

• Smooth bore for uninterrupted fluid flow and ease of cleaning
• High temperature and pressure capability
• Chemical resistant
• PTFE-lined and non-lined end fittings with laser etched ferrule for ultimate traceability
• Range of braid, cover and external protection options available

FaBLINE eliminates the potential for any product entrapment or bacterial build up. Constructed without internal adhesives, the hose will not absorb product or cleaning chemicals that can leach into and taint subsequent product batches.

The PTFE lining further ensures cleanability with excellent chemical and heat resistance in CIP cycles. The high temperature ratings means FaBLINE is perfect for utility connections to steam and hot water systems.
