Brewers Hose Product Description

In the world of beer brewing, brewery hoses are indispensable tools that help produce your favourite beverages. These heavy-duty hoses are designed to withstand the rigorous demands of breweries, ensuring smooth transfer of ingredients and finished products throughout brewing. This page explores the types of brewery hoses, their applications, and their role in maintaining beer quality and safety.

Our reinforced PVC and clear PVC tubes are ideal for Food Grade Brewery Hose applications and are chemical-resistant. Consequently, they are specifically designed to transport liquids, chemicals, and gases. Alicher D crush-resistant, making them a popular solution for food and drink distribution.

Reinforced PVC Brewers Hose Vs Rubber Hose

Our reinforced PVC brewers’ hoses offer numerous benefits over traditional rubber hoses for transferring non-fatty liquids.

For instance, they offer greater flexibility and reduced weight, making them easier to handle and manoeuvre. They are also more resistant to kinks and abrasions than rubber hoses, ensuring a longer lifespan and reduced need for frequent replacements.

The smooth interior surface of PVC hoses also minimises bacterial build-up and more effectively maintains the purity of the liquids being transferred, which is crucial in the brewing process.

Cleaning Brewery Hoses

To clean brewery hoses, rinse them with hot water to remove residue. Ideally, use a high-pressure washdown hose to thoroughly flush the inside of the hoses.

Next, apply a food-grade cleaning solution and let it circulate through the hoses for a few minutes, and rinse again with hot water to ensure all cleaning agents are removed.

For best results, sanitise the hoses with a suitable sanitiser, then allow them to air-dry completely. Regular cleaning, especially with a wash-down hose, helps maintain hygiene and ensures the purity and taste of the liquids being transferred.

The Importance of Quality Brewery Hoses

The quality of brewery hoses is crucial in maintaining the taste and safety of the beer produced. Low-quality hoses can leach harmful chemicals, affecting the beer’s flavour and compromising consumers’ health. On the other hand, high-quality tubes like these are purpose-made for food-grade use and designed to withstand wear and tear. They are also easy to clean and sanitise, reducing the risk of contamination and ensuring the production of high-quality beer.

What is a brewery hose used for?

A brewery hose is designed to transport liquids, such as water, beer, gas, and cleaning solutions, from the cellar to the bar delivery taps.

It’s designed to withstand the consistent transfer of beverages under the pressures and temperatures involved, ensuring safety and efficiency in delivering beverages to a wide range of delivery taps.

How do I choose the proper brewery hose?

Selecting the proper brewery hose requires considering material compatibility with the fluids, high-temperature and pressure resistance, and diameter to ensure optimal flow rates.

Our brewery hose meets these requirements and is approved for safe use with liquids.

Can brewery hoses be used for hot water?

Yes, brewery hoses are engineered to handle hot water, which is essential for cleaning and sterilisation.

Are there different types of brewery hoses?

There are several types, including suction and discharge hoses for fluid transfer, reinforced hoses for high pressure, and insulated hoses for temperature control.

Each type serves a specific function within the brewing process. When you contact us, we can discuss the options that are best suited to your application.

How often should brewery hoses be replaced?

Replacement frequency depends on usage intensity and maintenance.

Regular inspection for wear and damage is essential. Still, a well-maintained hose can typically last several years—immediate replacement is necessary if damage is found.

Can I repair a damaged brewery hose?

Minor damage may be repairable, but it’s crucial to ensure repairs meet strict hygiene and safety standards.

To maintain safety and hygiene, significant damage, especially to the hose’s inner lining, requires replacement.

How do I clean and maintain my brewery hose?

After each use, clean with appropriate solutions to ensure no residue remains.

These should also be stored in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight and regularly inspected for signs of wear and tear.

What are the safety tips for handling brewery hoses?

Always check for damage before use, ensure fittings are secure to prevent leaks, and avoid dragging over sharp surfaces.

Why do brewery hoses need to be approved?

Approval ensures the hose materials are safe for contact with consumable products, preventing contamination and ensuring the beverage’s safety and quality.

How does temperature affect brewery hoses?

Exposure to temperatures above the hose’s rated temperature can weaken its structure, potentially leading to failure.

So, for safety and longevity, always use hoses within their specified temperature range.

Manufactured in the UK

This brewery equipment is manufactured in the UK using a minimum-toxicity PVC formulation that imparts no flavour or odour to the beers, liquids, or gases the tubes convey. The reinforced PVC line hose is a reliable option for high-pressure applications, while the clear PVC tube is particularly suited for low-pressure applications.

Excellent flow rates

Both solutions are highly versatile and cost-effective, offering excellent flow rates, a reduced risk of blockages, and high levels of abrasion, corrosion, and chemical resistance. This makes them ideal for use in bars and public houses, where high pressure and distance are required.

Lengths & Colour

Our reinforced PVC hose is available in a wide range of diameters and colours, with a standard coil length of 30 metres. Should you require alternative sizes, please speak to our sales team.

Our clear PVC tube is available in a wide range of inside diameters. The standard coil length for clear PVC tubes is 30 metres. However, alternative coil lengths are available, subject to tube size. If your tube is coloured rather than transparent, we can offer all our PVC tube sizes in a range of shades and tints.

Uses

We recommend our reinforced PVC hose and clear PVC tube for use in the brewing industry. They are also suitable for use with numerous other applications.

Specification

Our reinforced PVC hose is specifically designed to withstand high working pressures for bar and pub use. Our products undergo continuous pressure testing to ensure consistent quality and meet high standards.

The working temperatures of the reinforced PVC hose are based on the short-term burst pressure at 20°C using a 4:1 safety factor. Any increases in temperature above 20°C will affect the quoted short-term burst pressure.

The flexible nature of the reinforced PVC brewery hose enables excellent flow, reducing blockages and preventing sediment buildup, making it a low-maintenance hose solution.

Our clear PVC tube is a low-pressure hose solution with a maximum recommended working pressure of 30 PSI. For increased working pressures, consider the reinforced PVC hose instead.

The clear PVC tube remains highly flexible without collapsing, even at low temperatures. The ideal temperature range falls between -20°C and 55°C. The hose can withstand occasional usage of up to 65°C.

A clear PVC tube is an economical and low-maintenance solution. Its excellent flow rates prevent sediment buildup, reducing the need for monitoring and replacements. Because the tube is clear, it is easy to identify any blockages and replace that section with a new length connected to the interconnects. The tube is also highly resistant to various chemicals, acids and alkalis.
