The best Teflon tubes & hoses for the process industry
We offer high quality flexible Teflon tubes and hoses, also known as PTFE hoses, to companies in the process industry. We have a wide selection of Teflon tubes and hoses and constantly keep up to date with market developments in the field, which enables us to tailor solutions to our customers across industries. Teflon tubes and hoses are extremely popular in many manufacturing companies as they are well suited for transporting food, pharmaceutical and chemical products in many types of process plants, while complying with current industry standards and regulations.
The benefits of Teflon tubes & hoses
Our Teflon hoses are of very high quality and are made of pure PTFE/Teflon without fillers or additives. As a result, they have excellent basic properties in relation to both pressure and temperature. In particular, a general temperature range between -70°C and up to +260°C means that our Teflon hoses cover the vast majority of needs. PTFE/Teflon has the unique property of being non-sticky/fat-repellent, which provides optimal flow in the hose and an extended service life. In addition, Teflon hoses are food grade and can easily be sterilized for cleaning.
In corrugated form, PTFE hoses are ideal for drain and filter systems, for example, where extra flexibility is required. As they are also available in a transparent version, you can easily ensure flow monitoring. Read our news article about how we helped one of Denmark's largest dairies replace process pipes with corrugated Teflon hoses at their filtration plant.

Do you need a customized PTFE hose solution?
In close collaboration with AAK - a Danish vegetable oils and fats producer - we developed a tailored PTFE hose solution exactly to their needs. As a result, they now avoid unnecessary downtime.
Steen Fammé from AAK says: “The advantage is also that we save a lot of time on replacement and maintenance”. Read more about how we helped AAK find the right solution.
Stainless steel braid and silicone for demanding production environments
Our stock range within Teflon hoses also includes models that are well suited for production environments where good resistance against temperature, pressure and/or chemical exposure is required, for example in the case of aggressive liquids. These Teflon hoses, including FoodForce C for example, are constructed of corrugated PTFE internally and externally protected with stainless steel braid, which makes them extremely resistant to both temperature and pressure without loss of mechanical properties. Should there be very high requirements for hygiene, such as in laboratory environments in connection with pharmaceutical production, it is worth looking at our PharmaForce C model. PharmaForce C is additionally coated with a transparent silicone cover, which gives the hose a smooth outer surface that is easy to clean after use.
All our Teflon hoses, both with and without stainless steel braid, are available in sizes from 1/4" to 10" (DN8 to DN250).

Frequently asked questions
Can PTFE hoses be customized for specific applications?
Absolutely. PTFE hoses can be customized in terms of length, end connections and even color coding for easy identification. This flexibility allows you to adapt the hoses to the requirements of various industries and applications.
What are the special features of corrugated PTFE hoses?
Corrugated PTFE tubing offers exceptional flexibility and is ideal for drainage and filtration systems where there are high demands on mobility. These hoses, which are also available in transparent variants, allow flow monitoring and are used effectively in filter systems.
How do PTFE hoses get their non-stick properties?
Teflon hoses get their non-stick properties from the PTFE material used to make them. PTFE is known for a molecular structure that produces a smooth and non-sticky surface that prevents material from sticking to the hose.
When is it recommended to use PTFE hoses with stainless steel braiding?
Stainless steel braided PTFE hoses are recommended for applications where there is a risk of mechanical stress, for example in environments with frequent vibrations, loads or shocks. They are also used when the hoses have to withstand high pressure and aggressive chemicals.
What does “flow monitoring” mean in the context of PTFE hoses?
Flow monitoring involves real-time monitoring and measuring the amount of liquid or gas flowing through a PTFE hose. This helps to ensure that the process is working properly and to detect any anomalies or problems.
