We create real added value by providing more durable, repairable, and recyclable solutions, such as sustainable industrial hoses. Is this exactly what you’re looking for—or a topic for the future? Get in touch with us!
Sustainable Hose Systems for Industrial Applications
Industrial companies are under increasing pressure to make their supply chains and products more sustainable. Circular Solutions address precisely this shift: They combine high technical performance with circular product design.
In this context, sustainability is viewed not as an afterthought, but as an integral part of product development—from material selection to reintegration into the production cycle.
Contact & Consulting on Circular Solutions
The Masterflex Group supports companies with customized consulting on circular solutions for sustainable industrial hoses and system solutions. Together, we analyze the specific application, technical requirements, material flows, and replacement cycles to develop suitable approaches for greater resource efficiency, durability, and recyclability.
The transition to sustainable product lines is practical and step-by-step. The focus is not solely on material selection, but on the entire lifecycle of the hose solution—from technical performance and extended service life to take-back, recycling, or reuse concepts.
Pilot projects can be arranged to ensure a controlled introduction. These enable the testing of Circular Solutions approaches under real operating conditions, the evaluation of technical and economic effects, and the subsequent targeted scaling of implementation.

Frequently Asked Questions About Tubing for the Food and Pharmaceutical Industries
What is an FDA-approved food-grade hose?
A food-grade hose is designed for the safe transport of food, beverages, powders, and pharmaceutical products. It is made from materials approved for contact with food.
Why are dead spaces in tubing and connection systems a concern?
Dead spaces can harbor product residue, moisture, and germs, thereby negatively impacting hygiene, cleanability, and product safety.
When is an antistatic FDA-approved plastic tube a good choice?
Prevent the "Big Bang" caused by dust explosions! An antistatic FDA-approved plastic hose is particularly useful for conveying powders such as flour, as it safely dissipates electrostatic charges.
What is an FDA-approved plastic tube?
An FDA-compliant plastic hose is a plastic hose made from a material that meets the relevant FDA requirements for food contact. This can include a wide variety of hose types and products. Many hoses also meet other relevant compliance standards.
How do I choose the right hose for the food industry?
The selection depends on the fluid being pumped, the operating temperature, the pressure requirements, the flexibility requirements, and regulatory requirements. Our technical team will be happy to help you find the best solution.
Are there antistatic food-grade hoses?
Yes. Several products in the line feature permanent antistatic properties for safer transport of powders and granules.
In which industries are food-grade hoses used?
The food processing, beverage manufacturing, pharmaceutical production, dairy processing, and packaging industries typically use food-grade hoses.
Are Masterflex food-grade hoses approved by the FDA?
Many products in this series comply with FDA requirements as well as EU Regulation 10/2011 regarding food contact. Please always refer to the respective product data sheet for specific approvals.
