Plutone Tube DN 16×23 Armoville per linear meter – code: STEEL16000 – Toscogomma

Plutone DN 16×23 Armoville Tube per linear meter (STEEL16000) – Toscogomma

The Plutone DN 16×23 Armoville Tube by Toscogomma (supplier code STEEL16000) is a flexible tube designed for suction and delivery transport of food liquids. The construction in transparent PVC-P with steel reinforcement spiral makes it suitable for technical contexts where ease of installation, visual control of the fluid, and a reinforced structure are required.

Supplied per linear meter, it is a solution suitable when you want to purchase the necessary length for the plant or maintenance, reducing waste and simplifying warehouse management.

Features and construction details

The tube is made with a structure designed for professional use on transfer lines and on equipment dedicated to dosing and filling.

Structure

• Material: PVC-P.
• Color: transparent, for easy identification of the transported medium.
• Reinforcement: steel spiral (reinforcement insert).
• Inner surface: smooth, to promote flow optimization.

Suitability for food contact

The tube is declared suitable for the transport of food according to Reg. EU 10/2011 (classes A, B, C).

Resistance and performance in use

• Resistance to weather agents.
• Resistant to most chemical products (depending on the type of substance and conditions of use).
• Indicated temperature range: -10° C / +60° C.

Note on conductivity

When requested by the application, the tube can be made conductive by grounding the spiral, with indicated value R<102 Ohm/m. Grounding must be carried out according to the procedures and checks provided by the system.

Typical applications

The Plutone Tube is suitable for the transfer of food liquids in suction and delivery, in contexts where transparency and reinforced structure are useful for daily operations.

Indicated fluids (as per declared use)

• Beverages and food liquids.
• Fruit juices.
• Vinegar.
• Wine.
• Liqueurs with alcohol concentration up to 20%.

Machines and equipment

• Filling machines.
• Dosing machines.

Advantages for systems and maintenance

In the plant engineering field (including onboard), the choice of tube affects practicality, control, and management of the lines. This model offers a combination of useful elements in technical installations.

• Visual control of the fluid: transparency helps to quickly identify the transported medium and check for any residues.
• Reinforced structure: the steel spiral contributes to the tube's robustness in suction and delivery applications.
• Favored flow: the smooth inner surface is designed to facilitate the flow of the liquid.
• Supply by the meter: allows purchasing the necessary length for replacements, repairs, and new lines, with greater management flexibility.
• Grounding option: the possibility to make the tube conductive through the spiral can be useful in systems where electrostatic charge management is required.

Usage and operational notes

To achieve a neat installation consistent with the system's needs, it is advisable to consider some practical aspects before laying and during use.

Selection and assembly

• Cut to size: being sold by the linear meter, define the necessary length taking into account the actual path, curves, and fixing points.
• Fitting: select fittings and clamping systems suitable for the type of line and food-grade fluid, verifying proper sealing before commissioning.
• Grounding (if required): connect the spiral according to plant procedures and verify continuity when the application requires conductive function.

Use with food liquids

• Fluid compatibility: adhere to the indicated fluids and declared usage conditions (including alcohol concentration up to 20%).
• Temperature: use within the indicated range -10° C / +60° C.
• Cleaning: in food applications, adopt cleaning procedures consistent with the process and plant requirements.
