Hose keeps coming off, causing a major loss causing a major loss of liquid concenterate

A PVC hose was fastened with barb and two clamps in a process for filling undiluted liquid soap. But the nipple would disconnect, causing the soap to spill out. This was a major problem in terms of product loss as well as requiring extra labor to clean up the floors, which became a slippery hazard when the soap spilled.

In order to prevent the coupling from disconnecting, it was changed to TOYOSILICONE Hose assemblies. The crimped coupling eliminated concerns for disconnection and reduced losses. In addition, the coupling was changed to FERRULE, providing easy connection and improved workability.
