Worksite Improvement Case Studies

The Food and Beverage Workplace

Removing and reattaching 200 hoses every day for cleaning is a lot of work!

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.

By switching to the TOYOSILICONE Hose assemblies that do not allow liquids to accumulate easily and do not require disassembly for cleaning, and to the TOYOCONNECTOR that can be adjusted and replaced at the worksite, the efficiency of cleaning and attaching/detaching has been greatly improved.
