Kink-free flexibility Alongside benefits such as increased service life, reduced maintenance, less CIP downtime and lower processing costs, FaBLine offers excellent liner flexibility in a kink-resistant design that requires less force to bend than competitor smooth bore products. Furthermore, the product carries up to twice the flow of similar-sized convoluted delivery hoses, providing a faster, more efficient processing solution. Neoprene Rubber Bearing Pad
Operating performance is also elevated. For instance, traditional rubber hoses can block or burst in applications that involve the transfer of highly viscous media, with FaBLine’s low-friction, smooth-bore construction minimises back-pressure to avoid downtime and material losses.
Smooth operator Eliminating the potential for any product entrapment or bacterial build up, FaBLine’s smooth bore is one of many inherent hygiene design features. Moreover, as its construction is free of internal adhesives, the hose will not absorb product or cleaning chemicals that can leach into and taint subsequent product batches.
The PTFE lining further ensures cleanability with excellent chemical and heat resistance during CIP cycles. FaBLine’s high temperature rating also makes it perfect for utility connections to steam and hot water systems, highlighting its versatility throughout food and beverage production processes.
Both PTFE-lined and non-lined end fittings are available with a laser-etched ferrule for traceability. A range of braid, cover and external protection options complete the offer.

Watson-Marlow Fluid Technology Solutions (WMFTS) announces that Bredel hose pumps has expanded its range of hoses by releasing the new and versatile Bredel NR Transfer hose for general fluid transfer applications at pressures up to 12 bar (174 psi).
Cornish Metals Inc. is using eight Bredel 40 hose pumps and three Qdos chemical metering and dosing pumps from Watson-Marlow Fluid Technology Solutions (WMFTS) in its newly opened water treatment plant (WTP) at South Crofty tin mine in Cornwall, England.
Watson-Marlow’s Devens site has been recognized as a Gold Awardee at the MassEcon Economic Impact Awards in Massachusetts, US. The awards recognize industry leaders that have made a positive growth impact in the state. Awardees are commended for contributions in areas such as real estate investments, community involvement, and diversity, equity, and inclusion.
Polymers play a key role at municipal/industrial water and wastewater treatment plants, but also bring the risk of major disruption and extra expense if they are not handled with reliable, leak-free equipment. A polymer leak can halt production and be costly, time-consuming and labor-intensive to clean up, and also creates a safety risk.
The introduction of the Certa Compact from Watson-Marlow Fluid Technology Solutions is the latest addition to WMFTS’ line of Certa Sine pumps for food and beverage applications.
Rising operating costs and tightening regulations are presenting major challenges for wastewater treatment plant operators, but better optimisation of chemical dosing can drive efficiencies, says Adeel Hassan, product manager at Watson-Marlow Fluid Technology Solutions.
