The customer was using a tube clamped with a competitor’s coupling for piping carrying recirculated water for cooling, connected to a metal temperature controller. The coolant traveling through the piping had a pressure of 0.6 Mpa, but the tube became disconnected from the coupling, causing flooding in the plant. Production had to be stopped, while subsequent cleanup and drying took some time to complete, resulting in production loss.

Resolving trouble caused by hose disconnections from a metal temperature controller to significantly improve productivity!
The customer decided to use HYBRID TOYORON Hose due to its resistance to collapsing, along with TOYOCONNECTOR to prevent the hose from disconnecting. This allowed them to increase the flow rate and dramatically improve cooling. It also eliminated production trouble caused by the hose disconnecting.
