Aflex Hose Pharmaline N: PTFE Hose - General Purpose - Stainless Braid - Silicon Cover
The Aflex Hose Pharmaline N offers exceptional reliability, flexibility, and cleanliness for a broad spectrum of general-purpose applications. This PTFE hose, meticulously crafted with a stainless steel braid and a silicone cover, is a standout solution for industries demanding high hygiene and performance standards, such as pharmaceutical, biotech, and fine chemical manufacturing.
At its core, the Aflex Hose Pharmaline N boasts a PTFE liner tube, smooth on the inside and convoluted on the outside, designed for seamless fluid transfer while maintaining robust kink resistance and flexibility under extreme conditions. The liner is complemented by a 316 stainless steel wire braid, enhancing its strength and enabling it to withstand high internal pressures, thus making it a reliable choice for demanding applications.
One of the pivotal features of the Pharmaline N is its platinum-cured silicone rubber cover, which not only provides additional protection but also ensures compliance with stringent regulatory standards, including FDA 21 CFR 177.1550 and USP Class VI. This makes the hose suitable for sensitive and critical applications where contamination must be rigorously controlled.
The design of the Pharmaline N is particularly beneficial in scenarios where cleanability is crucial. The non-stick properties of the PTFE surface allow for easy cleaning, significantly reducing the risk of cross-contamination. This feature and the hose's ability to endure repeated steam sterilization cycles underscores its suitability for sterile environments.
Furthermore, Aflex Hose's unique manufacturing process, which involves the complete in-house handling of raw materials to the finished product, enables unmatched quality control and consistency. This integrated approach ensures that every Pharmaline N hose meets the highest durability and performance standards.
For applications where electrostatic discharge could be a concern, such as transferring flammable or explosive fluids, the Pharmaline N can also be supplied in an anti-static version. This version incorporates a conductive liner to safely dissipate static charges, meeting the EN 16643 standard for electrical continuity, which is crucial for safety in potentially hazardous environments.
The adaptability of the Pharmaline N to various end fittings and custom configurations further enhances its versatility in application. Whether a simple direct connect or a complex configuration involving sanitary triclamp fittings, the Pharmaline N can be tailored to meet specific installation requirements.
The Pharmaline N's operational parameters are equally impressive. It can handle a wide range of temperatures from -73°C to +204°C, making it an excellent choice for processes involving high or low-temperature fluids. Its vacuum resistance and ability to handle pressures up to 80 bar (based on size) make it an all-encompassing solution for many fluid dynamics applications.
In summary, the Aflex Hose Pharmaline N is not just any hose. It is a well-engineered, highly adaptable, and regulatory-compliant option for industries where the highest levels of hygiene and safety are paramount. It is a testament to Aflex Hose's commitment to innovation and excellence in the hose technology sector, providing users with a reliable, efficient, and effective means of managing their fluid transfer needs.
