The customer had been using a suction hose to transport resin pellets to a molding machine hopper. However, after less than a year of use, deterioration due to wear caused holes to appear in the hose, from which debris entered, contaminating products with foreign matter and leading to defects.

Improved wear resistance prevents holes from forming and foreign matter from entering
The customer confirmed the performance difference in a TOYOTOP-E 100°C Hose wear resistance comparison video and put it to use for three months’ monitoring. They found that use was possible without any problems with regard to wear resistance and flexibility, enabling secure production, so they decided to switch other lines as well. Compared to the conventional product, there was no product loss or trouble with replacement, leading to worksite improvements and pleasing the customer.
