Before[ Silicone hose with crimped coupling ]

During the flavoring filling process, a food-grade silicone hose and crimping couplings were used, but the frequent suction and pressure feed in the process meant regular hose replacement; costs mounted for crimping couplings which could not be reused.

After[ TOYOSILICONE-S HOSE / TOYOCONNECTOR TC3-FS ]

Switched from hose assemblies to cap-nut type TOYOCONNECTOR FERRULE, which can be mounted on site and used repeatedly with only individual parts replaced. The hose alone is regularly replaced, with the couplings available for repeated use, sharply reducing costs. Because our own workers can mount the components, lead time is no longer an issue and rapid handling is possible, a great success all around.

We provide a wide range of support from selecting ideal products for specific usage conditions to downloading certificates regarding laws and regulations, as well as downloading of materials such as catalogs.

You can download useful materials that address issues such as “leaks and disconnections”, “energy-saving measures”, and “odor and coloration.”

We use videos to introduce the benefits of using products and how to install them, which may be difficult to understand just using text and illustrations.

We have compiled frequently asked questions from customers in the “FAQ” section.

To assist you in making selections, we provide common examples of improvements for hoses and couplings through industry-based case studies.
