Brewflex® Comparison

With numerous options, it can be hard to know which hose to choose…

And that’s why we’ve created this Brewflex® comparison table of our hoses, to help you understand clearly the differences between our product solutions and choose the most appropriate one for your application.

In a brewery, different applications demand different requirements and different environments need appropriate hoses. Some applications are suction based and so a hose needs to withstand vacuum, whereas others are solely delivery orientated. Some brewery environments are tight and so a hose needs to be able to achieve higher bend radius’ without kinking to make it around corners. Other brewery environments may use heavy machinery such as forklifts and so a crush resistant hose is ideal. Have a browse through our comparative table to help determine what hose you need.
