Factory Equipment Hose Examples

Difficulty in tightening clamp for air leak coming from ceiling hose

A company rerouted metal pipes carrying air to the ceiling, and from there, hoses took the air to machining equipment, so that the layout could be changed. Regular maintenance to tighten the fitting clamp was not possible next to the ceiling. Leaks kept showing up in different places and then the hose in the ceiling came off altogether.

Problem solved with the TOYOCONNECTOR, no tightening required. They need no maintenance, and the hose solved their air problems. Additionally, they effectively saved energy, and are looking at installing the TOYOCONNECTOR in another plant.
