Fox Global continues to deliver engineered hose solutions designed for reliability in Australia’s most demanding industries. Our latest supply of Continental Extremeflex Blue Food Suction & Discharge (S&D) hose assemblies — now fitted with protective spiral guard — showcases our commitment to durability, hygiene, and long-term performance in high-wear food production environments.
Extending Hose Life in a High-Demand Bakery Operation
A major Australian bakery, operating around the clock to supply bread and baked goods nationwide, needed hose assemblies that could handle intensive use without compromising hygiene or causing costly downtime.
The bakery approached Fox Global seeking a dependable solution that could withstand daily handling, frequent washdowns, and varying temperatures, while maintaining compliance with strict food safety standards.
The Fox Global Solution
After evaluating the bakery’s environment and operating conditions, Fox Global specified the Continental Extremeflex Blue Food S&D hose, assembled and crimped to Continental’s exacting standards. This hose combines superior flexibility, strength, and food-grade compliance — the ideal choice for high-volume food manufacturing.
For added protection in this particular installation, spiral guard wrap was applied to every hose, providing an extra layer of abrasion resistance and extending service life in areas subject to mechanical wear.
