Food and Beverage

Food

The global food processing market is one of the largest and most diverse, covering everything from dairy and bakery products to confectionery, juices, and packaged foods. End users include small specialty producers as well as large multinational food processors and dairies. Each relies on sanitary fluid transfer systems to move ingredients safely and efficiently while protecting both product quality and consumer safety.

Food manufacturing places strict demands on hose assemblies. Materials must comply with FDA, USDA, and 3-A standards, ensuring that every hose in direct contact with consumable products maintains purity and safety. In many cases, hoses must also comply with 21 CFR 170–199 for food contact materials and 21 CFR 177.2600 for rubber articles intended for repeated use. Performance requirements include the ability to handle high temperatures, resist abrasion and chemicals, withstand suction and discharge pressures, and maintain flow integrity in high-traffic or high-stress environments. Additional features such as CIP (clean-in-place) compatibility, resistance to kinking, crush resistance, and non-absorption of taste or odor are also critical.

Ace Sanitary provides a complete portfolio of Flex-Rite™ food grade hoses designed to meet these exact requirements. Our F-Series food-safe tubing offers exceptional flexibility, kink resistance, strong suction and discharge performance, and the ability to withstand high temperatures, making it suitable for food-grade water transfer, railcar loading/unloading, sugar transfer, and abrasive material movement. For premium suction and discharge applications, the RES Line delivers durability under rough handling and high heat, while ensuring that products remain free from taste or odor transfer—ideal for dairy, cosmetics, chemical, and CIP pharmaceutical processes. In environments where heavy traffic can impact hose reliability, the RCR Crush Resistant Hose maintains consistent flow even when kinked, twisted, or run over, springing back to its original shape and providing safe, taste- and odor-free transfer of sanitary liquid foods.

Beyond rubber-based products, Ace Sanitary also offers multi-use silicone and PTFE hoses, extending compatibility for applications requiring higher purity, longevity, or resistance to aggressive cleaning agents. When paired with our patented SealRite™ hose couplers, all Ace hoses are fully CIP capable, making them the perfect fit for facilities that require both performance and regulatory compliance.

Beverage

The beverage manufacturing industry is one of the most diverse and high-volume sectors of the global food and drink market. It encompasses everything from water treatment and fruit or vegetable extraction to brewing, distillation, sweetener and flavor mixing, and high-purity dairy production. End users range from wineries, breweries, and dairies to large-scale juice producers and specialty beverage processors, all of whom require hoses that can handle rigorous conditions while ensuring product integrity.

Hoses used in the beverage sector must meet strict sanitary standards while performing reliably under demanding conditions. Materials need to withstand suction and discharge, high temperatures, corrosive ingredients, and frequent exposure to cleaning agents. To ensure safety and compliance, hoses must meet FDA, USDA, and 3-A sanitary standards as well as exhibit features such as crush resistance, lightweight handling, and resistance to oils, oxidation, and kinking. In many cases, resistance to common clean-in-place (CIP) solutions and the ability to maintain taste and odor neutrality are also essential requirements.

Ace Sanitary offers a full line of Flex-Rite™ beverage hoses engineered to meet these diverse market demands. Our rubber hose series ensures smooth product transfer with flexibility and durability. For high-temperature environments, the RSD Series delivers a specially compounded tube that resists heat, odor, and taste transfer, as well as aggressive CIP solutions. The RES Line offers premium durability for applications requiring rough handling and sustained high heat, while the RBT Line is specifically designed to resist kinking or flattening in high-traffic areas such as breweries, wineries, and dairies. Additionally, our RWS and RWS-L hoses are purpose-built for wine transfer, and our high-purity hose solutions are perfectly suited for dairy applications. Beyond rubber, Ace Sanitary also manufactures multi-use silicone and PTFE hoses, which extend our offerings into higher purity and specialty beverage processing where additional material compatibility or longevity is required.

What sets Ace Sanitary apart is more than just our product line—it’s the way we deliver solutions. Our expertise in sanitary hose manufacturing ensures that every product we provide is engineered for compliance, reliability, and long-term performance. We operate with speed, offering fast delivery and no minimum order requirements so customers can keep production moving without delay.
