Rubber Fab offers a full line of food processing gaskets and hoses, including sanitary seals and hoses for the food processing industry. Our food processing gaskets and hoses are designed to help you deliver the best tasting product and can aid in minimizing elastomeric recall risk. The Detectomer® line leads the way in food processing. These products—gaskets, cord, o-rings, and other accessories—provide real value. By helping reduce recalls and downtime, they are a must in any plant. Read our case studies to learn more.

Answering your key questions: We offer a wide range of reinforced food-grade hoses for diverse processing needs, including lightweight, flexible options for milk and beverage transfer; smooth-bore hoses that resist imparting taste or odor; and phthalate-free reinforced designs for higher temperature and pressure applications. Flexible fluid transfer connections—our sanitary hose assemblies paired with FDA compliant food processing gaskets—enhance performance and safety by reducing turbulence, preventing taste and odor transfer, and maintaining secure seals under thermal cycling and vibration. You can find food-grade hoses for your specific application by exploring the hose lineup below or contacting Rubber Fab for application-specific guidance and selection support.

Our portfolio also includes PTFE-grafted sanitary gaskets for applications where smooth media contact surfaces are critical to hygiene and flavor consistency. Paired with flexible connections, these options support safer, cleaner operations throughout your plant.

Food Processing Hoses

Below are the specific types and applications of reinforced food-grade hoses available for various processing needs. Each hose can be paired with FDA compliant food processing gaskets and appropriate fittings to create flexible fluid transfer connections that enhance performance and safety by absorbing vibration, reducing pulsation, and maintaining laminar flow.

Flexible fluid transfer connections enhance performance and safety by combining properly selected reinforced food-grade hoses with FDA compliant food processing gaskets and secure Tri-Clamp fittings. This approach reduces leak points, supports hygienic design, and keeps systems stable under pressure and thermal cycling. For applications sensitive to creep and cold flow, we recommend creep resistant PTFE gaskets for food; where hygienic smoothness is vital, PTFE-grafted sanitary gaskets help maintain I.D. without re-torquing or leaking.
