such as potable water, milk and dairy products, and juice. The flexible hose is kink

Press Release Body: NewAge Industries introduces a new hose developed for the food
and beverage industry. It offers durability yet is more flexible than other rubber
food and beverage hoses of similar construction. NewAge Food & Beverage Hose is well
suited for a variety of applications including potable water, milk and dairy
products, oily or animal fat-based foods, juices, and non-alcoholic beverages,.

The core of NewAge Food & Beverage Hose is manufactured from a food-grade nitrile
rubber blend that meets FDA standards for use with food contact surfaces and will
not impart a taste or odor to the product stream. It meets all requirements for a
3-A rating. The hose's cover - also a nitrile blend - is abrasion resistant,
lightweight, and strong. NewAge Food & Beverage Hose is reinforced with polyester
fabric and steel wire and handles both pressure and full vacuum applications (29.9
in./Hg.).

NewAge Food & Beverage Hose addresses the concern of flexibility in processing and
transfer applications. It is crush-resistant and bends without kinking to allow
unrestricted flow. Entrapment and blockage issues are minimized. The hose's inner
surface is manufactured for smoothness and to withstand typical day-to-day use in
processing facilities.

Stocked sizes of NewAge Food & Beverage Hose range from 1" to 4" I.D. The hose is
available in bulk quantities or as complete hose assemblies with stainless steel
fittings in Tri-Clamp(R), cam and groove, I-line, tubeweld, and custom welded
styles. NewAge Industries also offers many other hose materials and fitting styles
suitable for food and beverage applications.
