How to choose the right dairy hose for your needs

When choosing a Dairy Hose, there are a few important aspects to keep in mind to ensure this is suitable for your needs. One of these, is ensuring you choose a trusted and reputable hose supplier like Flextech. In this guide we’ll look at what you should consider, paying particular attention to the important elements, such as the different types of products passing through the dairy hose, their temperatures, and required pressures.
