Before[ Steam hose ]

Steam cleaning is performed on facilities in an ice cream manufacturing line, but when used it often results vertical cracking of the hose inner surface, and there is a possibility that the cracked fragments will intrude into tanks, etc. The possibility that this may be the cause of a lot rejection is a concern. In addition, because the hose outer surface is white, surface soiling is highly noticeable, raising the possibility of this being pointed out during inspections, etc.

After[ TOYOSILICONE STEAM HOSE / TOYOCONNECTOR TC3-FS ]

We are now using TOYOSILICONE Steam Hose on a test basis. Because the hose is light and very soft, cleaning is easy and work has become more relaxing. In addition, we can use it without worries about cracks. Moreover, we can use it for longer periods than the conventional steam hose, so that the frequency of replacement is lower, and we can expect to see cost reductions as well. If we can use it for a certain period, and can confirm its effectiveness, we will want to replace other steam hoses with brackish water mixing faucets.
