![]() “We’ve launched a unique food safe and highly anti-static flexible ducting product designed to provide food manufacturers across Australia and New Zealand the safest and longest lasting environmental protection solution on the market, while also helping them keep both their workers and factories safe and secure from static electricity.” Browne, adding that, “We have everything from faster, more efficient particle and fume removal, all the way up the minute ways to simultaneously remove waste without interrupting a packaged food production line running at break neck speed”.Ducting specialist Eximo speed LOCK has launched FoodFlex AS-a flexible, anti-static polyether-polyurethane ducting solution with a stainless steel wire spiral that is designed to be used in a variety of food manufacturing applications, where dust and other food product generated abrasives have the potential to generate static electricity.įoodFlex AS (the AS is for anti-static) is translucent, has a temperature resistance of – 40° up to + 100° C and is designed to be used for the suction and discharge of abrasive and granular materials commonly found in manufacturing applications in the food and pharmaceutical industries.įoodFlex AS is resistant to chemical hydrolysis and a wide range of food-specific microbes, is lightweight, non-toxic and food safe according to US FDA-regulation 21 CFR 177.2600, while at the same time, FoodFlex AS is permanently anti-static (R ≤ 109 Ohm), and conforms to TRBS 2153 to provide excellent abrasion resistance and good all-round flexibility.Īccording to Eximo founder and Managing Director Roger Marriott, the launch of FoodFlex AS heralds yet another successful chapter in Eximo’s 31-year history of providing unique and cutting edge ducting solutions. “For this reason, we are continually researching and developing new products to ensure that as food manufacturing techniques advance, we have the ducted disposal system to meet any specific requirements”, says Ms. Some of the other features of FoodFlex include:Īccording to Eximo SpeedLock General Manager Karen Browne, Eximo’s research and development is the key to ensuring Australian food manufacturing has access to the best ducting technology in the country. FoodFlex with diameter ranging from 20mm to 99mm has a wall thickness of 0.5mm, while FoodFlex with diameter ranging from 100mm to 250mm has a 0.6mm wall thickness. The product is available in single length 10m roles or in cut lengths to order. ![]() Its temperature resistance ranges from -40 ☌ up to +100 ☌. ![]() ![]() FoodFlex has a solid construction with good oil resistance and abrasion resistance and a smooth bore. As this quality is built into the product, it continues to perform even as the wall deteriorates during constant use, which is unlike some other products that only use a simple coating of inhibitors. Being built into the product it continues to perform even as the wall deteriorates during use, unlike others with a simple coating of inhibitors.Īccording to Eximo SpeedLock, apart from its strong and flexible polyurethane, wall reinforcement is done by way of its powder coated spring steel helix throughout the length of the product. Keeping food factories clean is now easy thanks to Eximo SpeedLockįood manufacturing is one of the cleanest environments in the entire manufacturing sector and keeping the food factory clean and free of potential contaminants is an important task – one that requires not just stringent rules and regulations, but also well-designed and reliable technology to ensure that the making of food stays well within the myriad of food safety laws and other health parameters.Īvailable now from ducting specialist Eximo SpeedLock, FoodFlex is a medium weight and flexible polyurethane ducting that is clear of colour, allowing constant inspection of product as it travels along the system.įoodFlex ducting contains an organic compound that is resistant to mould, fungus microbes and hydrolysis.
