Champion Vol-U-Flex® Twin-wire helix-reinforced.
Corrugated design with smooth bore.

The hose technology specialists at Salem-Republic Rubber Company, with over 30 years of handmade hose experience, have created the ultimate kink-resistant hose. The Champion Vol-U-Flex® construction provides longer service life than conventional hose. Kinking not only restricts flow, it also makes a permanent fatigue and wear point within the hose. Custom-engineered for each application, this proven Vol-U-Flex® design is manufactured with a variety of FDA grade compounds. The Champion Vol-U-Flex®is the best kink-resistant food hose on the market.

Milk & Edible Fluids

Hose for milk and edible fluids meet tough FDA sanitation requirements. FDA grade white latex rubber is used for lining and cover, offering a service temperature range of -20° F through 180° F. An optional high-temperature white chlorobutyl lining can be supplied for temperatures to 300° F for steam or chemical cleaning.

Dry Bulk Food Products

Abrasive dry bulk materials such as grains, flour, sugar, beans, dry pharmaceuticals, and food starch, require a high-grade FDA pure gum rubber tube. Tube lining and cover meet FDA sanitary standards and assure easy cleaning. Our Dry Bulk hose offers superior resistance to abrasion for lasting performance.

Edible Oils

This hose with white FDA grade nitrile tube handles the transfer of all types of oil-based food products, including tallow, olive oil, palm oil, peanut, sunflower, and soybean oil. The Vol-U-Flex® construction with nitrile/PVC cover provides superior flexibility, oil resistance, and low drag coefficient.
