Extraction of chemical vapours in pharmaceutical manufacturing
High-tech cleanroom hoses for chemical process steps
During chemical process steps in pharmaceutical manufacturing, any vapours produced must be safely captured and reliably extracted. Chemical-resistant cleanroom hose systems are not only important for air distribution, but also for facilitating the controlled extraction of chemical vapours. Masterflex Group hose solutions effectively protect sensitive production areas, plant components and working environments.
Connection of filter units and ventilation systems
Cleanroom hoses for air distribution, used to connect filter units and ventilation systems
When transferring pharmaceutical solids, abrasion resistance, flexibility and cleanability must work together precisely. A robust pharmaceutical hose can be designed for abrasion resistance, flexibility, CIP compatibility and efficiency to ensure reliable performance even under high process loads. This extends service life and supports cost-effective production processes.
Cleanroom hoses, air supply and exhaust
Controlled airflow in filling plants
In pharmaceutical filling plants, a cleanroom hose aids in the targeted supply and removal of sensitive airflows, ensuring that products and the production environment remain protected from particle ingress. Particularly in open or partially open processes, precise airflow control helps to ensure stable conditions and consistently high product quality.
Cleanroom and laboratory hoses
Extraction of fine particles in tablet manufacturing
Where active ingredient dusts or fine powders are generated during tablet production, safe and efficient extraction solutions are required. Cleanroom hoses for air handling facilitate the targeted capture and removal of airborne particles directly at the source. This improves product protection, safeguards adjacent areas and helps maintain a clean production environment.
Precise air distribution in laboratory workstations and test areas
Hose assemblies for cleanroom technology – greater regulatory compliance
In laboratories, airflows often need to be directed with pinpoint accuracy, for example at test benches or safety cabinets. Hose solutions for air distribution and extraction must meet high standards in terms of hygiene, material quality and process reliability. A professionally designed cleanroom hose should therefore be tailored to the specific application scenario, media exposure, cleaning requirements and regulatory framework. Depending on the application, this includes material-specific compliance, low particle emission, chemical resistance and suitability for sensitive cleanroom and production environments. It is crucial that the hose solution not only functions technically but can also be documented, reproduced and integrated into the process in a permanently safe manner.
Extraction during heating and in the presence of acidic vapours
Always the right cleanroom hoses for applications involving acidic vapours.
Where processes involve heating, thermally stressed or acid-containing vapours are frequently generated, which must be safely removed from the system. A suitably designed Masterflex Group cleanroom hose for air delivery and extraction combines chemical resistance with flexibility, ensuring reliable extraction even under demanding media and temperature conditions. If you have any questions regarding materialselection or hose design, our Life Science Segment Leader, Marc-Julian Ott, will be happy to advise you. To ensure hassle-free installation and production, we can supply the appropriate connection fittings on request.

Frequently asked questions about Masterflex Group hoses for cleanrooms and laboratories
What is a cleanroom hose for air distribution?
A cleanroom air duct hose is a plastic hose solution specially designed for sensitive environments such as cleanrooms, laboratories or production facilities, which is used to control the inflow and outflow of air. It is primarily used in applications where particle control, hygiene and safe process conditions are of paramount importance. The materials used may vary depending on the application.
Where are air-conveying hoses used in the pharmaceutical industry?
Typical applications include filling lines, isolators, sterile areas, ventilation systems, laboratory environments and extraction points in mixing, dosing or tableting processes. This hose solution is suitable for any situation where air needs to be directed precisely or contaminated air needs to be extracted.
Why are plastic hoses suitable for cleanrooms and laboratories?
Masterflex Group hoses offer a high degree of flexibility during installation, can be easily integrated into complex plant structures and, depending on the model, can be designed to be resistant to various media, chemicals and temperatures. This makes them particularly well-suited to sensitive applications in laboratory and cleanroom technology.
What requirements must a hose for air supply and extraction meet?
Key factors include, amongst others, material quality, durability, flexibility, leak-tightness, ease of cleaning and suitability for the specific hygienic environment. In addition, air flow, temperature, pressure conditions and the specific process environment must be taken into account.
Which products are suitable for cleanroom air ducting?
Depending on the application, suitable options include, for example, Master-Clip PUR, thermal insulation hoses, Master-PUR LF Trivolution, Master-Clip Neoprene or pressure-reinforced hoses. The optimal solution depends on the air flow, temperature, system layout and hygiene class. The Masterflex Group’s consultancy services are generally recommended in such cases.
Can a cleanroom air duct also be used for extraction processes?
Yes, many hose system solutions are suitable for both controlled air flow and extraction tasks. This is particularly important in production and laboratory areas where dust, particles or process-related emissions need to be safely captured and removed.
Are there also ventilation hoses for more industrial applications, such as welding fume extraction?
With the right ventilation hoses, gaseous media can be safely channelled within a temperature range of up to +200°C (Master-Clip Spark XL). Some of our ventilation hoses can also be used at higher temperatures. Our hoses are ideal for use in air-conditioning and ventilation applications (supply and extract air), as well as for extracting welding fumes.
Can hoses for cleanrooms and laboratories also become misaligned or bent?
Individual hoses from the ventilation hose range, such as the Master-Clip PUR S, are highly resistant to mechanical stresses, such as being compressed or kinked. The hose’s special construction ensures that it returns to its original shape after being deformed. These excellent recovery properties offer advantages wherever a hose is at risk of mechanical damage during day-to-day operation.
Can Masterflex Group also offer bespoke, customised development solutions?
Yes, definitely! Customisation and bespoke, innovative development solutions are our speciality. As part of our engineering services, we offer you tailor-made products – or work with you to develop highly customised, innovative and cost-effective hose and connection solutions.
