Worksite Improvement Case Studies

Plastic molding workplaces

Raising the mold temperature causes liquid to leak onto the product, resulting in product defects.

To reduce the defect rate, a customer raised their die temperature from between 60 and 80℃ to between 80 and 95℃. This temperature increase however, caused the rubber hose circulating the hot water for regulating die temperature to become brittle sooner than expected. This resulted in cracks, and hot water leaking onto the product again, causing more product loss.

The heat-resistant TOYOSILICONE Hose prevents disconnections due to brittleness. This eliminated the secondary loss of our customer’s products. Problem solved!
