For cryogenic processes in nutritional product manufacturing, the most important feature of an insulated hose is its ability to maintain consistent, ultra-low temperatures during cryogen delivery. In high temperature applications, hoses must be able to handle thermal variations while maintaining chemical resistance.
In both low and high temperature applications, Insulon Vacuum Jacketed Hose helps ensure maximized product yield, preserve the integrity of sensitive ingredients, and enhance production efficiency. Option to use Insulon over PTFE and PFA tubing for high-purity applications.
