Productivity improved by eliminating hose bending and collapse and water leaks from the coupling

A sake company was using a non-phthalate food grade hose with barb hose clamp fastenings for product transfer to the blending tank and transport of 80°C hot water. However, the high temperature caused hose bending and collapse as well as leaks from the couplings, reducing production efficiency and requiring a change.

The customer viewed videos comparing bending in TOYOSILICONE Hoses and pressure resistance and safety by coupling type, deciding to adopt a HYBRID TOYOSILICONE Hose and TOYOCONNECTOR. Hose replacement frequency went down and leaks disappeared, enabling stable production. The same products were likewise to be introduced sequentially to other lines.
