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 ordinary-duty value choice within its rating.
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. Reinforced STKLUFG is required when the pressure or wear requirement excludes that entry product.
Notes: This progression covers qualified food-contact grain transfer with hose grounding. It does not substitute a nonfood boom hose for a food-contact requirement.
Warning: A grounding wire alone does not establish static protection. Correctly terminate, bond, ground and test it as part of the complete system. Confirm food-contact suitability and the selected diameter’s pressure, vacuum, temperature and bend-radius limits.
Exception: If the required diameter is outside the qualified food-contact products’ size ranges, obtain a separate selection that meets both food-contact and grounding requirements. A larger nonfood material-handling hose is not an acceptable substitute based on diameter alone.
