Introduction

ISO 9001 ISO 14001 EMAS

Characteristics and applications:Food-grade silicone elastomer hoses for conveying liquid or semi-liquid products by suction or pumping in the food, pharmaceuti-cal and cosmetic industries.All our silicone hoses are platinum cured in accordance with US FDA (Foods and Drugs Administration) Standard 21 CFR 177.2600, the German BfR Standard part XV and the US USP Class VI stan-dard.

THE VENAIR PRODUCTS ARE NOT AUTHORISED FOR ANY APPLICATION FOR THAT IT IS NOT EXPRESSED CERTIFIED. It is the user’s responsibility to ensure the suitability and safety of the VENAIR products for all intended uses.

Silicone properties:This elastomer is fully non-toxic, stable, odorless, non-stick, hydro-phobic, and steam sterilizable (for a maximum recommended time of 1.5 hrs at 135ºC (275ºF). The raw material used can operate unaltered at temperatures of between -80ºC to +240ºC (-112ºF to +464ºF).

Platinum cured:VENAIR Technosil’s platinum cured silicone hoses (peroxide free) are recommended for any process within the food industry and especially the pharmaceutical industry. They guarantee a superior level of hygiene compared to peroxide cured silicone, as shown by the high level of purity in the chromatography phase.

High Quality SZR System & 3A Hose Assemblies:We recommend our hoses for high-grade aseptic quality requi-rements, since they can be connected using 316L stainless steel connection terminals equipped with the SZR system (without re-tention place system)*. This allows the connection area between the hose and the metal connection terminal to be completely free of any areas of possible contamination, thus facilitating CIP (cle-aning in place). Moreover, our crimped hoses can be Certified according to the 3A Sanitary Standard 62-02 for hose assemblies. Main standards and regulations:Our Silicone: - US FDA (Foods and Drugs Administration) Standard 21 CFR 177.2600- German BfR Standard part XV- 1935/2004/EC Regulation and European Council Resolution AP 2004 (5) – silicones- US USP Class VI- ISO 10993 (optional)- 3A Sanitary Standard 18-03 Class I (optional)

Available in 316L stainless steel, with the exception of the nuts and ferrules which are made of 304 stainless steel. Other fittings can be assembled upon request (RJT, FIL, ISS, MACON, GAS JIC, flanges).Clamps and auxiliary parts for welding can also be manufactured.

SZR* SYSTEM SZR* SYSTEM (Without retention zone) & 3A Hose AssembliesThe concept of SZR* has been fully researched for the flexible hoses produced by VENAIR. This system ensures that the hoses equipped with metal fittings on both ends satisfy even the most demanding requirements of the food, pharmaceutical, cosmetics and chemical market, since all areas where contamination may occur between the joint of the hose and the fittings are eliminated by placing them at the same level.

The roughness of the inner surface of the SZR* fittings presents a maximum rugosity of 0.8 microns and can be improved on request. The batch number for the raw material used is indicated on each fitting. All connections are manufactured in a single block, without welds, and the flexed 45º or 90º connections are secured by an orbital weld.

The SZR* system is designed to prevent the utmost differences in diameter between the metal fitting and the hose, ensuring continuous product flow without inner turbulence. This leads to time saving by allowing on-site cleaning (CIP) to be performed without disassembly. The SZR assembly system ensures a higher level of non-retention in the flexible hoses, as well as greater safety of use. Moreover, our crimped hoses can be Certified according to the 3A Sanitary Standard 62-02 for hose assemblies.

Fascicle of documentation published by Afnor, September 1986.Correspondence:At the time that this fascicle was published, the ISO/DIN 18831 standard on the same subject already existed. Both documents are equivalent.Analysis:The present fascicle is intended to help users of rubber or plastic based elastic and flexible hoses to obtain optimal hose life by considering the different conditions of use.

The purpose of the present fascicle is to provide users of rubber or plastic-based flexible hoses with recommendations to enable them to maintain the hoses in a similar condition to when supplied once they are in operation and to obtain an optimal service life by considering the conditions of use.

These good practice guidelines are comprised of two parts:PART A: GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONSChapter 1 – Selection criteriaChapter 2 – Storage conditionsChapter 3 – Rules for use and maintenance

PART B: ADDITIONAL RECOMMENDATIONS FOR SPECIFIC APPLICATIONSChapter 1 – Bending radius / Abrasive productsChapter 2 – Corrosive and aggressive productsChapter 3 – Inflammable products

PART A: GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS

1. SELECTION CRITERIA

1.1 When choosing a flexible hose for a certain applicationthe following points must be considered:1.1.1 Pressure – VacuumOperational pressure and vacuum valuesWater hammer

1.1.2 Conveyed productsNature, designation, concentration, working temperature.Form: liquid, gas, or solid. In the case of the latter: granulated, density, behavior of transported solid product, nature, speed of travel and flow of transported fluid. Frequency of use.

STERILISATIONAll flexible hoses must be sterilized before use and must only be used for the intended purpose for which they were designed.

All hoses can be hot-air sterilized at a temperature of +250° C (+482º F) or steam sterilized at +135° C (+275º F) and a pressure of with 3.5 bars.Recommended maximum time: 1.5 hours +135° C (+275º F).A minimum of 1 hour must be left between successive sterilisation treatments in order for the hose to stabilise.It is important to note that steam alters the mechanical and volumetric properties of the silicone elastomer. We therefore recommend that all hoses are examined after 150 hours of steam sterilization treatments.The product may suffer from the effects of hydrolysis if the sterilisation time is exceeded.

COMPATIBILITY OF THE PRODUCTS FOR TRANSPORTATIONEnsure that the flexible hose used is chemically compatible with the product.Cleaning products, such as caustic soda and nitric acid will not alter the quality of the product when diluted to 5 %.The type of fluid to be transported, the usage temperature and the maximum pH of the product must always be known. Silicone hoses are not recommended for conveying abrasive products.

CRUSHINGA vehicle driving over a hose can cause the hose’s textile elements to fray under the pressure, even if the hose does not have an

inner spiral. Avoid stepping on hoses. The sudden pressure could damage them.

PRESSUREThe pressure and temperature levels should be those indicated for each type of hose. During use, ensure that “water hammer” that could affect the hose does not occur. Water hammer can multiply the initially expected operating pressure by ten.

USE. STORAGE.Under no circumstances should flexible hoses be used to attempt to pull heavy loads.Avoid dragging hoses along the floor.If the hoses are temporarily out of service, they should be stored in a clean, dry place on non-sulfur steel shelving to avoid any reactions. Protect from light and ozone.Elbow adaptors of 45° or 90° must be connected to the bypass frame to eliminate any excessive curvature of the hose.Our flexible hoses have a useful life of between 10 and 20 times that of conventional hoses.Remember that once the hose is installed, it is a live and moving element. These hoses that have been manufactured with the greatest care, especially for use in such demanding industries. Taking good care of them will ensure a return on your investment.

VENAIR Technosil shall not be held responsible for improper use of its hoses. Failure to comply with the precautions for use may result in unfavorable conditions.

1.1.3 EnvironmentPlace of use, ambient temperature, hygrometric grade, exposure or lack of exposure to atmospheric agents and ozone. Products that may be in contact with the end of the flexible hose.

1.1.4 Mechanical limitationsMinimum bending radius in service. Limitations in terms of traction, torsion, flexion, vibration or compression. Risk of impact, abrasion, corrosion. Work position: on the floor, suspended or submerged.

1.1.5 Connection used or expected to be usedConnection: type, dimension and class of thread.Hose: Outer and inner diameter. Adjustment length.

1.1.6 Particular conditionsWith relation to this matter, it is in the user’s interest to choose flexible hoses that conform to the standards in force in the country of use, provided that these exist within the field of application in question.1.2 In cases of difficulties regarding interpretation or where the necessary information does not appear in the available documentation, the user of the flexible hose is advised to consult the manufacturer.

2. STORAGE CONDITIONS

2.1 General informationDuring use, flexible hoses are exposed to different factors which can cause their physical properties to alter, which in turn may lead to the hoses being unsuitable for use when the time comes. Listed below are some general storage conditions that will help prevent the deterioration of the products during storage.

2.2 Length of storageStorage length should be reduced as much as possible. Therefore stock rotation should be ensured, applying the rule “first in, first out”. When long term storage cannot be avoided, e.g. for one year, the item should be thoroughly checked before it is put into operation.

2.3 Temperature and humidityStorage temperature should be kept at between 0°C and 35°C wherever possible (optimum temperature 15°C). Relative humidity should preferably not exceed 65%.

2.4 LightItems should be stored in a dark place, away from direct sunlight and intense artificial lighting. If storage facilities have windows or glazed areas, these should be covered with red, orange or white paint.

2.5 EnvironmentThe hoses must not come into contact with certain products or be exposed to their vapors, particularly in the case of solvents, fuels, oils, fats, volatile components, acids, disinfectant products, etc. Moreover, some materials such as copper, iron and manganese can be harmful to some rubber-based mixtures.

2.6 Heat sourceThe distance between heat sources (e.g. heating units) and stored items must be sufficient to ensure that the temperature remains within the temperature limits defined in paragraph 2.3. If this is impossible, a heat screen should be used.

2.7 Electric or magnetic fieldElectric or magnetic field variations should be prevented in the storage area since they can induce current in the metal connections and cause them to heat up. These fields can be caused by high voltage lines or high frequency generators.

2.8 Storage conditionsFlexible hoses should be stored without excessive restriction, lengthening or deformation.All contact with sharp or angular objects or material must be avoided. Hoses must be stored in a dry place in storage boxes wherever possible. Flexible hoses that are coiled up should be stored flat and preferably not stacked. In cases where this is impossible, the height of stacks should be limited so that the items at the bottom of the stack are not deformed. Heavier items should be placed at the bottom and lighter items should be placed at the top. The coil must be at least equal to the minimum curvature radius specified by the product manufacturer or standards. Hanging coiled hoses from spikes or hooks is not recommended. Flexible hoses that are supplied in lengths should be stored flat without folds.

2.9 RodentsFlexible hoses must be protected from rodents and suitable precautions should be taken if there is any risk.

2.10 Removal from storagePrecautions should be taken to ensure that the hoses requested are in perfect condition and are the correct hoses for the required use. Therefore, the ability to identify the different hoses stored is essential. Furthermore, and particularly in the case of flexible hoses that have been in storage for a long period of time, the metal connection elements should be checked to confirm they are correctly fitted.

2.11 Return to storageHoses that have been removed from service must be emptied of the substances they have carried before being returned to storage. Special care must be taken with items that have transported chemical, explosive, inflammable, or corrosive products. After cleaning, and before storage, their condition and suitability for later use must be checked.

2.12 Cleaning Cleaning with brushes, sponges or cloths must be carried out with soap and water or surfactant based products. Metal brushes and abrasive, pointed or sharp instruments must not be used and the use of solvents should be avoided.

3. RULES FOR USE

3.1 HandlingFlexible hoses should always be handled with some minimum precautions. For example: they should not be scraped over sharp or abrasive surfaces, subjected to impacts or cut, deformed or squashed by vehicles.Heavy flexible hoses supplied in lengths should be transported appropriately, especially when being lifted..

3.2 Impermeability testA pressurized hydraulic test is recommended after fitting the metal connectors to ensure they are in good condition (no leaks and connector has not moved on the hose). The test pressure value is usually indicated by the hose manufacturer if it is not specified by test regulations or by standards.

If in doubt, check with the manufacturer.

3.3 Elimination of static electricityThe manufacturer’s advice should be strictly followed when considering electrical conductivity requirements and a check should be carried out after installing the connections.

3.4 Fixed installationsFlexible hoses used for fixed installations must be connected using the appropriate fixing device wherever possible. This device should not hinder normal variations in the flexible hose when under pressure, such as longitudinal or diametric variations and/or torsion. When used under special conditions whether mechanical, pressurized, vacuum or geometric, the manufacturer should be consulted.

3.5 Moving partsWhen flexible hoses need to be installed on moving parts, care must be taken to ensure that the motion does not cause the hose is not be subjected to impacts, blockages or friction and that the hose is not forced into abnormal curvatures, folds, traction or torsion.

3.6 ReferencesApart from some fields of use where special standards exist, all flexible hoses must be subjected to regular controls to ensure their suitability for continued use. In particular, attention needs to be paid to the condition of the connections and to the appearance of certain faults indicating hose degradation, whether due to normal ageing or to damage attributable to improper use or accidents during maintenance.It is therefore particularly important to check for the appearance of:- Cracks, scratches, breaks or tears in the coating that reveal the structure.- Deformities, blisters, or swellings that appear when the hose is subjected to pressure.- Leaks.These faults require the affected hose to be replaced. In certain areas of use, and for safety reasons, there may be a use-by-date which will be indicated on the marking of the flexible hose. This use-by-date must be observed even if the hose shows no apparent signs of wear and tear.

3.7 RepairsRepairing hoses is not generally recommended.However, in the particular cases when hoses can be repaired, the manufacturer’s recommendations must be strictly adhered to and a pressure test must be carried out after the repair. If there is any deterioration as a result of a cut at one end and if the length of the remaining hose is in good condition, then the hose can be repaired by cutting away the defective part.

PART B: ADDITIONAL RECOMMENDATIONS

In addition to the general recommendations in part A there are some other particular points that should also be noted.

1. BENDING RADIUS/ABRASIVE PRODUCTS

In order to obtain the optimal useful life, flexible hoses must be kept as straight as possible, avoiding any unnecessary curvature. The widest possible bending radius should therefore be used, since a radius that is too small will cause unwanted turbulence inside the hose. Good electrical conductivity will also need to be tested.

This is ensured in these hoses with the effective discharge of the static electricity generated by rubbing the friction of transported particles against the wall of the hoses. With regard to connections, it should be ensured that exterior connections are not subjected to abrasion. However, connections included in the hoses avoid the formation of turbulence that, as already mentioned, can cause increased and unsuitable consumption.

2. CORROSIVE OR AGGRESSIVE PRODUCTS

This point refers specifically to acids, bases, solvents, agro-pharmaceutical products and other chemical products. Should these products not appear in the list of compatible products specified in the technical documentation or if the temperature and concentration limits do not fall within acceptable parameters, the hose manufacturer should be consulted. Fluids should not be allowed to stagnate in the flexible hoses, especially in the case of solutions or emulsions, as the resulting decantation can cause concentrations that exceed the admissible limits. Cleaning and rinsing should be performed after each use in order to prevent this phenomenon. It is essential that all necessary technical precautions are taken in order to avoid leaks caused by the accidental explosion of the flexible hoses.

3. INFLAMMABLE PRODUCTS

This family of products is comprised in part by liquid hydrocarbons (essences, petroleum, and kerosene) or gaseous hydrocarbons (LPG). Most countries have regulations governing the storage and transport of these products. In the field of flexible hoses, attention must be paid to the regulations concerning electrical resistance, as well as the nature and frequency of controls for checking suitability for use over time.In the case of hydrocarbons, care must be taken to ensure that the percentage of aromatic hydrocarbons (benzene, toluene, xylene) falls within the limits established by the flexible hose manufacturers.
