Before[ Rubber hose for steam / Ferrule hose nipple / Hose clamp ]

To steam clean the cheese adhering to pots and machines, we used a steam hose (made of rubber) with a ferrule barb hose band fastening.
This steam hose is heavy and stiff, making it difficult to use. Moreover, after about one year of use, rubber fragments appear due to inner hose deterioration. Foreign matter intrusion due to the hose fragments is a concern, and we concluded that some countermeasure needed to be done.

After[ TOYOSILICONE STEAM HOSE / TOYOCONNECTOR TC3-FS ]

When we switched to light and soft TOYOSILICONE Steam, the cleaning became much easier.
In addition, a half-year has now elapsed since starting use, and there has been absolutely no change to the hoses, enabling long-term use and lowering the possibility of foreign matter intrusion due to deterioration, eliminating our concerns.
Furthermore, we switched to TOYOCONNECTOR for leak and disconnection prevention with hose couplings that can also be tightened with a cap nut, for a safety countermeasure that eliminates concerns about hose disconnection when using the hose band.

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.
