The Purple Snake® from ContiTech:
A New Generation Now in Series Production
- Product properties optimized
- Use under extreme conditions proves it's ready for series production
- New hose marking with all important information
Hanover, August 14, 2014. The Purple Snake® is No.1 among beer and drink hoses thanks to its quality features. With a view to users' ever more stringent requirements for cleaning and disinfection of drink and food hoses, ContiTech has further developed the beer and drink hose's properties, improving temperature resistance and flexibility. After having proven its reliability and resistance in extended validation testing – even under extreme usage conditions in some cases – the optimized brand-name hose is now going into series production. At the same time, production of the previous generation will be discontinued.
In addition to its taste- and odor-neutral, high-performance special inner lining, the optimized Purple Snake® is distinguished by its unmistakable new marking: instead of the axial wavy blue line on the red outer layer, which was typical of its predecessor, the new generation
Purple Snake® has a blue spiral line continuously marked in white with the brand and manufacturer name, and all national and international approvals the hose has received.
This shows the user at first glance that the hose really meets applicable regulations and is truly food safe. Additionally, the new marking has a QR code for calling up more detailed information on construction and properties, cleaning and disinfection, and the specific hose's delivery program.
So that ContiTech's high-quality drink and food hoses will be clearly recognizable as brand-name hoses in the future, the manufacturer is gradually switching over all these hoses to the informative new marking whether there is a change in construction – as with the Purple Snake®– or not.
