Brewery Hose

Product description

In the world of beer brewing, brewery hoses are indispensable tools that aid in successfully producing your favourite beverages. These heavy-duty hoses are designed to handle the rigorous demands of breweries, ensuring the smooth transfer of ingredients and finished products during brewing. This page explores the various types of brewery hoses, their applications, and their importance in maintaining the quality and safety of the beer produced.

Our reinforced PVC and clear PVC tubes are ideal for brewery hose applications. They are specifically designed to transport liquids, chemicals and gases. They are, therefore, a popular solution for food and drink distribution.

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 hoses are made of food-grade materials and designed to resist wear and tear. They are also easy to clean and sanitize, 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 transfer liquids, such as water, beer, gas, and cleaning solutions, during the transfer from cellar to bar delivery taps.

It’s crafted to withstand the consistent transfer of beverages at the pressures and temperatures involved, ensuring safety and efficiency in delivering beverages to a plethora of delivery taps.

How do I choose the proper brewery hose?

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

Our brewery hose meets these requirements, and it is approved for safety and use with liquids.

Can brewery hoses be used for hot water?

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

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 suitable options for your particular 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 damages may be repairable, but it’s crucial to ensure that any 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?

Clean with appropriate cleaning solutions after each use, ensuring no residue remains is always recommended.

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 secure fittings 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 beyond the hose’s rated capacity can weaken its structure, leading to potential failure.

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

Manufactured in the UK

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

Excellent flow rates

Both solutions are highly versatile and economical and offer excellent flow rates, 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 various 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 huge 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. Should your tube be of colour rather than just transparent, we can offer all our PVC tube sizes in various 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 a continuous pressure testing program to ensure consistent quality and 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 short-term burst pressure quoted.

The flexible nature of the reinforced PVC brewery hose allows for an excellent flow rate, which reduces blockages and prevents sediment buildup, making this 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.

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

Brewery hoses overall

Brewery hoses play a critical role in the beer brewing process. From handling raw materials to transferring finished products, they ensure efficient, hygienic, and safe operations. Investing in high-quality hoses promotes a clean brewing environment. It guarantees the production of top-notch beer that consumers can enjoy without concerns.
