Before[ PVC braided hose / Ferrule hose nipple / Hose clamp ]

Food grade hoses had been connected to filling machines on a production line in a plant used to manufacture seasonings. These hoses were connected with ferrule couplings and barb hose clamps. However, a hose came disconnected from the coupling and caused high-temperature fluid to leak on a worker, causing a burn injury. Urgent measures were required in order to prevent future work-related injuries. 

After[ TOYOFOODS HOSE / TOYOCONNECTOR TC3-F / TOYOCONNECTOR TC6-F ]

The customer watched a video comparing the pressure resistance safety of TOYOCONNECTOR to other products, requested a sample product during a free monitoring trial, and tried using the product a means to prevent disconnections and leaks. The customer confirmed that the product would likely improve the situation, and immediately switched out the problematic part. This resolved the issue, so the customer began replacing other parts as well.

We provide a wide range of support from selecting ideal products for specific usage conditions to downloading certificates regarding laws and regulations, as well as downloading of materials such as catalogs.

You can download useful materials that address issues such as “leaks and disconnections”, “energy-saving measures”, and “odor and coloration.”

We use videos to introduce the benefits of using products and how to install them, which may be difficult to understand just using text and illustrations.

We have compiled frequently asked questions from customers in the “FAQ” section.

To assist you in making selections, we provide common examples of improvements for hoses and couplings through industry-based case studies.
