Before[ PVC braided hose ]

A customer had a cleaning apparatus that uses air to blow sodium bicarbonate to clean metal parts used in rolling stock (train cars). The wear on the PVC hose conveying the sodium bicarbonate was so heavy that the hose would break in less than a month, causing the sodium bicarbonate to leak. Operation would have to be stopped because of the high level of danger this posed.

After[ TOYOFUSSO HOSE / TOYOCONNECTOR TC3-S ]

It has been half a year since switching to the chemical resistant and non-adhesive TOYOFUSSO Hose. The inner surface has not been worn and the hose displays high wear resistance compared to PVC, which should significantly expand the frequency of replacement.

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.
