ALIEN FOOD/FDA
Flexible FOOD/FDA silicone nozzle for hygienic cleaning
ALIEN FOOD/FDA is a flexible, curved nozzle made from transparent silicone designed for hygienic and low-contamination cleaning in environments where material purity is critical. Its smooth inner and outer surfaces reduce particle accumulation, making it suitable for food, pharmaceutical and cleanroom applications.
The long conical shape and soft, rounded tip allow precise cleaning along edges, in narrow gaps and around production equipment where a neutral, non-shedding and easy-to-clean tool is required.
Typical applications and industries
- Cleaning in food, pharmaceutical and biotechnology production areas with strict hygiene requirements.
- Low-particle cleaning in cleanrooms (ISO 4–8), including machinery, filling lines and processing equipment.
- Collection of fine, dry materials where silicone is preferred due to cleanliness and non-migration properties.
- Ideal for environments requiring non-tainting, chemical resistance and high surface cleanliness.
FAQ
