A silicone hose from a different company was used in a chocolate factory for transferring chocolate to a tank during the manufacturing process. However, in areas where the movable hose was bent, broken thread ruptures occurred. Hose ruptures during operation could lead to line stoppages, resulting in the urgent need to adopt appropriate countermeasures.

Stabilizing production by eliminating broken thread ruptures due to hose movements
The manufacturer was introduced to Toyox silicone hoses with a special braided structure to prevent broken thread ruptures and adopted TOYOSILICONE-S hoses, which offer a smaller bending radius. The high bending resistance and excellent flexibility led the manufacturer to switch out other hoses for Toyox products as well.
