More hygienic, smoother, safer - the new Master-PUR DualFlow 1.6 Food A sets new standards for sensitive applications. New standards for hygienic hose systems. With the Master-PUR DualFlow 1.6 Food A Masterflex presents a pioneering product innovation for the food industry. The new conveying and transport hose has a seamless, smooth thermoplastic lining on the inside - for maximum hygiene, optimized flow properties and greater safety when conveying sensitive media. Thanks to the seamless production from a single cast, the hose prevents residues, reduces cleaning effort and saves energy during operation. It meets the strict requirements of Regulation (EU) No. 10/2011 including all amending regulations and is therefore perfect for use in the food and biotech industries. A real ”hygiene booster ” - developed with an eye for detail, manufactured for maximum cleanliness in the process. Faster. More hygienic. Safer. Masterflex food conveyor hoses: Now also recyclable Driven by the sustainable corporate strategy Hero@Zero, the DualFlow not only scores with hygienic performance,

What good is the best hose without the right connection technology? Masterflex offers you a wide range of connecting elements, such as clamps, metal connectors or screw-on plastic connectors, so that you don’t lose the connection at this point either. In many cases, you can choose between screw-on versions and moulded solutions. Consider, for example, the flexible combination options offered by the Combiflex threaded connector. With such a threaded connector, you can attach an external thread to a Masterflex hose, for example. This makes the hose screwable and can then be connected to almost any object that has an internal thread. Or you can use the external thread of the threaded connector to screw a male or female part onto a hose as a coupling element.
