Continuous R&D Investment: VELON Lab Empowers Global Clients with High-Performance, High-Safety Hose Solutions

As a professional industrial hose manufacturer, VELON INDUSTRIAL INC. has always regarded technological innovation and safety compliance as its core competitiveness. By investing 8% of its annual revenue in R&D (accumulating over $13 million), holding more than 50 patented technologies, and establishing internationally top-tier laboratories, VELON continuously pushes the boundaries of material aging and hygiene safety, providing long-lasting, hygienic, and safe hose solutions for the chemical, food, pharmaceutical, and petroleum industries.

I. R&D Investment: Tackling Aging and Hygiene Challenges with a Long-Term Vision

Financial Commitment: For ten consecutive years, VELON has allocated 8% of its revenue to R&D, with cumulative investments exceeding $13 million. These funds are primarily directed toward advanced material development (e.g., ozone/UV/chemical-resistant composite rubber), product compliance, and hose performance enhancement.

II. VELON Laboratories: The Ultimate Arena for Safety and Performance Testing

The laboratories focus on simulating extreme environments and hygiene safety verification, establishing a comprehensive testing system:

Extreme Testing with Advanced Equipment:

l Ozone Aging Test Chamber: Simulates high ozone concentrations in industrial environments (50-200ppb) to accelerate the verification of hose surface crack resistance;

l UV Aging Test Chamber: Uses UVA-340 lamps to precisely replicate outdoor sunlight spectra (0.8W/m² @340nm), evaluating color change, brittleness, and other photoaging effects;

l Hot Air Aging Test Chamber:Cycles between room temperature and 300°C to test the elasticity retention rate of hoses after thermal-oxidative aging;

l Electrical breakdown tester:It uses a high-voltage DC power supply to accurately simulate extreme voltage environments and detect the breakdown strength of the hose insulation layer to ensure the safety and reliability of the product under high-voltage conditions and improve the safety performance of industrial hoses.

l Mooney Viscometer:Utilizes high-precision torque sensors to monitor real-time changes in rubber viscosity (0-100 Mooney units), optimizing rubber formulations and mixing processes to improve the uniformity and processing stability of hose materials, ensuring durability and consistency in complex working conditions.

III. Technical Certifications and Industry Applications

Certification Barriers: Through continuous quality improvement, VELON's products have obtained numerous international certifications.

Compliance with the following standards:

l GB 4806.7-2016: Chinese safety standards for rubber materials in contact with food;

l FDA 21 CFR 177.1520: U.S. food-grade rubber specifications;

l EU 10/2011: EU regulations on plastics in contact with food;

l BfR XXXI: German standards for silicone in contact with food;

l EC 1935/2004: EU general requirements for materials in contact with food;

l EN12115: EU standards for rubber hoses in chemical transportation;

l And more

Industry Solutions:

l Chemical Explosion-Proof Applications: ATEX-certified, meeting EU safety standards;

l Food and Pharmaceutical: Silicone hoses certified by BfR XXXI are used in fermentation tanks and filling lines, withstanding CIP/SIP cleaning (180°C high-temperature steam), ensuring zero contamination risks;

l Dairy and Beverage: Food-grade hoses compliant with FDA 21 CFR 177.1520 are used for milk and juice transportation, certified by 3A Sanitary Standards;

l Baking and Oils: High-temperature-resistant hoses certified by EU 10/2011 are suitable for edible oil and syrup transfer, ensuring no plasticizer migration;

l And more.

Through rigorous experimentation and exploration, VELON continuously enhances the quality and reliability of its industrial hoses. With data-driven optimizations, every hose undergoes stringent aging tests in the laboratory before being deployed in chemical plants' acid and alkali corrosion environments, food factories' hygienic transfer systems, and pharmaceutical production lines' clean manufacturing processes. VELON ensures that every hose becomes a reliable partner for its customers.
