TOYOSILICONE Hoses were used for conveying salad dressing and the hoses were initially cut to about 30 centimeters and fastened with clamps. But there were between 100 to 200 hoses in the plant, and they all had to be removed, washed and reattached every day. There were two problems:
(1) It took too much time
(2) The edges of the clamps were causing damage to the hoses, which had to be replaced.
