Food & Drink

Silicone tubing and mouldings for all your food & beverage manufacturing needs.

Silicone is best known for its ability to stand up to the demanding pressures of food production without affecting the quality of the food products being made. Our highly resistant food-grade silicone tubing is well suited for use in the food and drinks industry to transfer liquids between processes.

Silicone hoses that come into contact with the products processed at all of these sectors must be temperature and pressure resistant, be robust and long lasting, and comply with sanitary standards and regulations. That is where we come in. All Silclear products are formulated using high quality food grade materials that are FDA, Bfr and 3A approved.

We stock off the shelf tubing to supply direct, but if you have a process that involves original equipment then look no further. We produce silicone products for many OEMs in the food industry and can tailor our silicone formulations to meet your exacting needs.

Here are just some of the many processes and areas that can benefit from the use of Silclear silicone hoses for liquid transfer.

Silicone Hoses

Food processing plants

Used for hygienic transfer of liquids, semi-solids or air through food grade silicone tubing and for sealing or insulating with silicone gaskets and extrusions.

Beverage dispensing machines

Flexible drink tubing made from food grade silicone ensures safe, odour-free flow from source to nozzle, commonly used in soda fountains, coffee machines and water coolers.

Juice & other beverage manufacturers

Silicone tubing and hoses are ideal for moving juices and concentrates through production lines without altering taste or reacting with acids or sugars.

Breweries

Silicone hoses and seals handle hot wort, steam and cleaning solutions, while maintaining hygiene standards throughout the brewing and bottling processes.

Wineries

Non-reactive and temperature-resistant silicone tubing is used in wine transfer and racking systems to preserve flavour and prevent contamination.

Food-grade products dispensing

Accurate, hygienic dispensing of sauces, syrups, oils and creams is enabled by food grade silicone tubing that withstands pressure and resists build-up.

Water treatment & distribution plants

Silicone tubing and gaskets are used in systems where cleanliness and chemical resistance are essential for delivering potable water.

Water bottling companies

Used to maintain sanitary flow from purification systems through to bottling, silicone tubing supports high-speed filling without contamination.

Filtration systems

Flexible silicone connectors and tubing integrate with filters to transport liquids or gases safely and cleanly, even under pressure or high temperatures.

Dairy and plant-based milk production

Silicone tubing is widely used for hygienic transfer of milk, oat, soy, and other plant-based liquids during processing and packaging. Its non-reactive surface helps preserve flavour and prevents build-up of residues in continuous-use systems.

Why Choose Food Grade Silicone?

Food grade silicone is trusted across the food and drink industry for its exceptional safety, reliability, and performance. Unlike many traditional materials, silicone remains stable under extreme conditions and does not affect the taste, smell, or quality of the products it comes into contact with. This makes it ideal for everything from fluid transfer and dispensing to sealing and filtration.

Whether used in high-pressure dairy systems, beverage bottling plants, or food-grade dispensing equipment, silicone delivers consistent results while meeting strict hygiene regulations.

With its long lifespan and low maintenance requirements, food grade silicone is a cost-effective and future-proof choice for food and drink manufacturers.

FAQ

Yes. Food grade silicone is non-toxic, chemically stable and resistant to bacteria. It’s widely approved for use in food and beverage processing and does not leach chemicals or alter taste or odour.

Silclear’s food grade silicone tubing complies with key global food safety standards, including FDA 177.2600, BfR XV, and EU 1935/2004. These certifications ensure our tubing is safe for direct contact with food and beverages.

Yes. Our food grade silicone tubing is highly resistant to extreme temperatures, typically from -60°C to +200°C, making it ideal for processes involving hot liquids, steam sterilisation or high-temperature cleaning.

Silicone tubing generally outlasts rubber and many plastics. Its resistance to wear, chemical cleaning agents and UV degradation makes it a long-term solution for hygienic fluid transfer in food and drink production.

Absolutely. Our tubing is suitable for dairy, juice, breweries, wineries, soft drinks, and other food applications. Its ultra-smooth inner surface ensures minimal contamination risk and consistent product quality.

Both are non-toxic and high purity, but medical grade silicone meets even stricter standards for biocompatibility and sterilisation, as it may actually have to go inside the body. For most food and drink uses, food grade silicone is more than sufficient.
