A common challenge we often hear about in the food and pharmaceutical industries is finding a ducting solution that’s both flexible and certified for food contact, without compromising on strength or hygiene. That’s exactly why we stock the Protape PUR 330 FOOD range. This food-grade polyurethane ducting is designed to handle everything from flour and sugar to milk powder and cereals, all while maintaining high flexibility and compliance with strict industry standards.
We’ve supplied this hose to clients across the food manufacturing, bulk handling, pharmaceutical, and healthcare sectors. It’s especially popular for use with packaging machines, mixers, dryers, and bulk-bag filling systems, as well as in cleanroom ventilation setups.
The ducting is made with a spring steel wire integrated into the wall, allowing for strong shape retention while still being easy to compress and route. It’s odourless, tasteless, and manufactured in compliance with GMP EC 2023/2006, so customers know it meets the latest hygiene and materials safety regulations.

This ducting stands out in our range thanks to its full compliance with both EU and FDA food contact regulations. But it’s not just about paperwork, it performs just as well in the field.
Key Benefits:
One customer in the dairy sector switched to this hose after issues with brittleness in colder temperatures, this model stayed flexible and performed consistently, even in chilled environments.
Although this ducting performs exceptionally well, here are a few things we’ve noted when helping customers choose the right product:
Q: Is this ducting food-safe and compliant with regulations?
A: Yes – it’s tested and approved to EU 10/2011, EC 1935/2004, and FDA 21 CFR 177.2600, and manufactured to GMP EC 2023/2006 standards.
Q: Can it be used for conveying liquids?
A: No, it’s designed for dry foodstuffs, powders, and air. For liquid handling, we’d recommend a hose specifically rated for fluid transfer.
Q: Is it suitable for low temperatures or freezers?
A: Yes, this hose stays flexible down to -40°C, making it ideal for chilled and cold room environments.
Q: How flexible is it?
A: Very flexible and compressible to 1/3 of its full length, which makes it easier to handle in tight installations or store when not in use.
