Application guide
Medium-duty food grade suction and discharge hose
flexFOOD™ lite 200 ST combines clear food-contact PVC construction with a copper grounding wire for qualified dry-material conveying. It is the lower-pressure option in this progression. ST200SFG is the value choice for qualified lower-pressure transfer without a reinforcement requirement.
Reinforced urethane food hose
flexFORCE™ U Food Grade combines a food-contact polyurethane liner, synthetic reinforcement, static-dissipating construction and a copper grounding wire. It is the reinforced option for qualified abrasive-material and pressure service. STKLUFG controls the defined reinforced-pressure duty.
Polyurethane dry material handling hose
Use for: Grounded nonfood vacuum recovery in 4- and 6-inch systems.
flexVAC™ U 140 ST is the grounded polyurethane dry-material option for 4- and 6-inch systems. It supports visual flow inspection, but its published vacuum limits are 21 inHg at 4 inches and 17 inHg at 6 inches.
Medium-duty wet & dry material remote hose with grounding wire
Use for: Grounded abrasive nonfood vacuum recovery.
flexVAC™ lite U Boom ST provides a polyurethane liner, static-dissipating construction and a copper grounding wire for abrasive recovery. It is the lighter boom-hose option and is not food grade.
Heavy-duty abrasion resistant wet and dry material handling hose
Use for: Demanding grounded nonfood vacuum recovery.
flexVAC™ U Boom ST is the heavy polyurethane-lined boom hose for demanding wet and dry abrasive recovery. Its static-dissipating construction and copper grounding wire support the defined severe-duty role. It is not food grade.
Notes: The main progression covers qualified clean resin transfer, with Best Value defined for reinforced-pressure duty. Grounded nonfood vacuum recovery is separate.
Warning: Verify resin temperature, additive chemistry, contamination limits and static potential for the actual material. Correctly terminate, bond, ground and test the hose wire where required. Confirm the selected diameter’s pressure, vacuum and bend-radius limits.
