At Capital Rubber & Gasket, we understand that quality is non-negotiable for wineries and breweries. The Continental Vintner™ Wine Hose offers unparalleled reliability, hygiene, and durability—designed specifically to meet the rigors of liquid food transfer.
1. Premium Food‑Grade Liner & Cleanability
The smooth chlorobutyl or EPDM liner is fully FDA/USDA-compliant and conforms to 3‑A Sanitary Standard 18‑03, ensuring a neutral taste profile in wine, beer, or juice. Its homogeneous design prevents microbial buildup and discoloration—vital for product integrity.
2. Robust Reinforcement & Flexibility
Featuring a rustproof monofilament helix offering crush and kink resistance, the Vintner hose retains a slim profile and flexibility—thanks to a strong 4:1 safety factor. It’s lighter than traditional wire hoses, leaving no rubber residue when dragged across surfaces.
3. Exceptional Temperature & Chemical Resistance
With 250 psi working pressure and ability to operate from –30 °F to 220 °F, the Vintner hose handles CIP processes and extreme cleaning agents without degradation. The EPDM tube variant enhances chemical and ozone resistance and improves coupling retention at elevated temps.
4. Certified Quality & Safety
All hoses are built on a chrome mandrel, ensuring hygienic consistency, and meet FDA/USDA and 3‑A 18‑03/18‑02 standards. They’re ideal for both in-plant and tank-truck transfers—providing peace of mind and compliance.
Conclusion
The Continental Vintner™ Wine Hose offers a powerful mix of food-grade purity, rugged resilience, temperature/chemical endurance, and regulatory compliance. At Capital Rubber & Gasket, our team is ready to help you identify the correct hose, fittings, and assembly for your operational needs.
