During tank interior steam washing, cracked hose sheath fragments may fall into the tank, causing foreign matter contamination

Tanks of raw material for cosmetics are regularly washed with steam, but just two to three months of use causes the steam hose sheath to crack. Measures were required for the risk of contamination with foreign matter due to small fragments of rubber from the cracked hose falling into the tank.

Trial use of the TOYOSILICONE Steam Hose produced no cracks in the sheath over seven months, eliminating concerns over contamination with foreign matter. Use along with the dedicated TOYOCONNECTOR couplings also eliminated concerns about hose disconnection due to hose clamp fastening, enhancing safety.
