OSH Selected | Saint Gobain Fluid Transfer Solutions
In the food and beverage industry, in order to slow down the growth of bacteria on the machine surface, aggressive chemical cleaning agents are used when cleaning wine containing ethanol or dairy products rich in various ingredients , which places high demands on the durability of the pipes in the machine .
When specifying distribution piping for food and beverage equipment, multiple factors need to be considered, such as hose flexibility, chemical resistance, corrosion resistance and non-leaching properties, so the choice of hose material is critical .
From the perspective of food flavor , food contact grade hose materials cannot leak other substances, affect the flavor of food, or allow oxygen outside the tube to penetrate into the liquid and cause oxidation;
From the perspective of hose installation , the small space inside the equipment can easily cause kinks and wiring difficulties, and the hose needs to be easily installed on the connector; too cold or too hot temperatures can also cause the hose to warp or stiffen, causing assembly problems.
Saint-Gobain has accumulated years of successful experience in manufacturing fluid transmission pipelines. Saint-Gobain is a well-known supplier of design, manufacturing and distribution of material solutions . Founded in France in 1665, Saint-Gobain processes raw materials into advanced materials for our lives and production, and is committed to developing new materials, including but not limited to flat glass, automotive glass, thermal insulation materials, gypsum building materials, ceramic plastics, abrasives, and pipeline systems.
Since entering China in 1985, Saint Gobain has 1 R&D center and 40 manufacturing bases, providing customers with a wide range of solutions: from homes and offices to automobiles, infrastructure, as well as high-performance materials for health and many industrial applications.
Today, Saint Gobain Fluid Transfer solutions have been used in the food and beverage industry, dairy production, chemical cleaning and other fields:
food and drinks
Saint-Gobain has the design, engineering and materials science expertise to help food and beverage industry customers manage the complex and critical step of hose dispensing and select materials with the best performance to meet specific beverage dispensing tube application needs.
Cleaning Chemicals
In the field of chemical dispensing, commonly used equipment is an electronic chemical dispenser with a peristaltic pump that can dispense specific doses of chemicals into various cleaning equipment. Saint-Gobain manufactures and supplies specific tubing required in this process, with challenging and demanding performance requirements such as consistent flow stability, chemical resistance, higher pressure ratings and longer service life.
Laboratory Fluid Analysis
Saint-Gobain offers automated analysis tubes (TAAT) for laboratory fluid analysis, microbore diameter tubes for use in AutoAnalyzer instruments, ICP peristaltic pumps and various flow analysis methods (segmented flow, flow injection, continuous flow and flow batch) for laboratory, environmental, clinical and industrial automated fluid sample analysis.
Environmental Fluid Sampling
Peristaltic pumps are often used for water sampling to prevent cross contamination during sampling and analysis. The tubing within the pump may affect the characteristics of the water and may even affect the chemical composition of the sample, leading to inaccurate test results. In order to maintain the integrity of the sample, Saint-Gobain's hose solutions are developed for precise metering of peristaltic pumps and meet stringent performance standards.
RS Electronics is the agent for many types of Saint Gobain Fluid Transfer hoses, including but not limited to:
