Static buildup occurs when dry food particles move through a hose, creating friction between the material and hose walls. This buildup can lead to sparks, dust ignition, and even contamination, making static-dissipative hoses like VoltBuster essential for safety.
2. How does the Kuriyama VoltBuster hose prevent static buildup?
The VoltBuster hose features a static-dissipative cover and reinforcement that safely dissipates static charges, preventing electrostatic discharges that could pose risks to workers and food safety.
3. What types of dry food materials can be transferred using the VoltBuster hose?
This hose is ideal for transferring:
- Flour & grains
- Sugar & powdered sweeteners
- Coffee beans & grounds
- Cereals & snack foods
- Dried spices & powders
- Powdered dairy products
4. What safety standards does the VoltBuster hose meet?
Kuriyama VoltBuster hoses comply with FDA, USDA, and 3-A sanitary standards, ensuring that food contact surfaces remain safe and contamination-free.
5. How often should the VoltBuster hose be inspected for wear and tear?
Routine inspections should be performed weekly or monthly, depending on usage. Look for signs of wear, internal abrasion, or any visible damage to ensure the hose remains in optimal working condition.
6. Can the VoltBuster hose be used in pneumatic conveying systems?
Yes! The VoltBuster hose is designed for use in both gravity-fed and pneumatic conveying systems, making it a versatile choice for various food processing operations.
