The customer was using a braid hose crimping product from another manufacturer on piping running from an emulsifier tank to a filling machine. They had previously been fastening it with a hose clamp, but switched to using a crimping product due to an accident where a disconnection occurred and the entire floor was filled with an odor that would not disperse, forcing the customer to stop operations for five days.
However, the coupling also had to be discarded when replacing the crimping product, resulting in added costs.

Switching to a reusable product reduced costs and ensured safety (preventing disconnections)
The customer viewed a video explaining how our product is reusable and yet prevents disconnection just as well as a crimping product, and began a monitoring trial.
They confirmed the product was safe to use, and were very pleased with it in terms of cost, convenience, and how easy it was to replace. They decided to switch to our product. They also decided to begin replacing all crimping products used in the other lines operating on the same floor.
