Before[ Silicone hose / Threaded hose nipple / Hose clamp ]

The customer was using a heat-resistant silicone hose connected with a barb hose clamp to transport hot water (120°C) for a plastic molding machine. However, the hose began to crack in less than one year of installation, and issues such as coupling disconnection and leaks were also occurring. The customer needed to do something to prevent production loss and work injuries caused by burns.

After[ TOYOSILICONE STEAM HOSE / TOYOCONNECTOR TC3-SS ]

The customer decided to install TOYOSILICONE Steam Hose (with heat resistance up to 140°C) and TOYOCONNECTOR to prevent disconnections and leaks. After switching the old parts out, the customer experienced less hose degradation due to heat, and therefore had to replace the hose less often. The new parts also eliminated disconnections and leaks, allowing the customer to stabilize production, help prevent burns, and increase productivity.

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.
