一, Long-term transportation uses in the production of food and drinks
1.The food processing business has very strict standards for the safety, resistance to high temperatures, and chemical stability of pipeline materials. Liquid and semi-liquid components used to make drinks, dairy products, sauces, juices, and beer frequently need to be moved around all the time for a long period. The pipes' durability and smell have a direct effect on the quality of the finished product.
2.Making milk and other dairy products
Pipelines must be able to handle repeated cycles of high-temperature pasteurisation or steam disinfection when milk is being transported and dairy products are being made. Food-grade silicone tubing can handle high temperatures over 120 °C and won't easily soften, age, or break after being used for a long time. This keeps the material safe and allows for smooth circulation.
3.Making juice, sauce, and spices
When transporting, acidic or sugary liquids like fruit juice, tomato sauce, soy sauce, and others can eat away at regular plastic pipes. Food-grade silicone tubing is chemically stable and can handle acids and bases well. It doesn't react with other materials even after a long time, and it's easy to clean, which cuts down on microbiological residues.
二,Long-term pipelines for medical equipment and drugs
1.Pipes must be exceedingly safe, non-toxic, and stable for the pharmaceutical and medical device industries. Food-grade silicone tubing is often used in pharmaceutical equipment and medical fluid systems for long-term use because it doesn't react with other chemicals and can withstand high temperatures for cleaning.
2.System for medication delivery and infusion
In pharmaceutical equipment, infusion tubes and medicine transfer tubes frequently need to be used continuously for a long time. Food-grade silicone tubing won't release harmful chemicals, and even after being disinfected with high-temperature steam or chemicals several times, it will still be flexible and strong, which will keep the medicine pure.
3.Tools and equipment for labs and tests
Silicone tubing is typically used to connect different analytical instruments in laboratory automation equipment. The tubing needs to be able to handle stress and corrosion over time. Food-grade silicone tubing can handle a wide range of cleaning and reagent solutions
三, Use of domestic appliances in long-term internal pipelines
1.Most modern high-end home appliances, like coffee makers, water dispensers, steam ovens, and water heaters, have several pipes within that can handle hot water, steam, and regular use for a long period.
2.Steam that can handle high temperatures
The heating pipe of a coffee maker has to be able to handle steam and hot water that are over 100 °C. Plastic pipes that are not reinforced can get mushy, turn yellow, or smell bad. Silicone tubing that is safe for food can keep its original flexibility and flow performance even after being used at high temperatures for a long time.
3.Cleaning and disinfecting over and over
You need to clean and sanitise your hot water kettle, water dispenser, and other pipes on a regular basis. The silica gel tube can withstand acids and bases, oxidation, and ageing. It can also maintain the material stable after being disinfected several times, so it won't make drinking water unsafe.
四,Using automated production lines and industrial machines all the time
1.In food automation production lines, filling equipment, or continuous processing systems, pipelines frequently need to run all the time for a long time. In industrial settings, the benefits of food-grade silicone tubing are extremely clear:
2.Resistance to bending and fatigue
Repeated bending or vibration can damage the pipes that move things in automated machines. Silicone tubing is very strong and won't break or leak even after being bent many times.
3.The inside wall is smooth and easy to clean.
Silicone tubing that is safe for food has a smooth inner wall, low fluid resistance, and leaves less material behind. It is still easy to clean after a long time, which means that equipment doesn't have to be stopped down and cleaned as often, which increases production efficiency.
五,Long-term use of baby and health items
1.Food-grade silicone tubes are safe, odourless, and resistant to high temperatures and ageing. They are perfect for infant items, water cup straws, health food filling tubes, and other things that come into touch with the body for a long time.
2.Safety for long-term use
Baby bottles, straws, drinking pipes, and other things need to be in contact with liquids for a long time. Food-grade silicone tubing surpasses international food safety requirements like the FDA and LFGB and does not emit heavy metals or other dangerous chemicals.
