Hard steel wire in spring hoses causes rust issues

A spring hose constructed with a steel wire for strength was used for a beverage. The steel wire had begun to rust at the end of the hose where the fitting was fastened, so a braided hose with a thread was used instead of a steel wire to ensure the operation was sanitary. However, the vacuum pressure caused the hose to collapse and lose suction. The fluid flowed backwards, causing the production line to be stopped.

They went with the TOYORING-F hose, made with reinforcing plastic coils to eliminate all concerns of rust. The TOYORING-F can be used safely in vacuum environments. Problem solved!
