The customer had been using a suction hose to transport plastic pellets to a molding machine hopper, at a plastic molding plant for automotive parts.
However, a hole formed in the hose due to wear-based degradation after less than one year of use. Waste would enter the hose from the hole, causing foreign matter to enter products and cause defects.

Improved wear resistance prevents holes from forming and foreign matter from entering
The customer viewed our wear resistance comparison video and was impressed with the performance described for TOYOTOP-E 100°C Hose. They decided to start a monitor trial. They used the product for three months and were pleased to find that they were able to produce products without any problems with regard to hose wear resistance and flexibility. They decided to switch other lines over to our products. This also helped them to make worksite improvements, as they were able to prevent product loss and eliminate the need to replace hoses.
