Improving resistance to odors and fluid accumulation at couplings for increased production efficiency

A factory used food-grade PVC hoses and barb fittings with hose clamp fastening for transferring ginger. Even after cleaning the hoses used for transferring the product, however, odors remained, giving rise to a concern the odors may affect other products. The manufacturer was also unhappy with sanitation because of fluid accumulating at the couplings.

The manufacturer became aware of how Toyox products differ from conventional products by watching the fluorine and PVC hose cleanability comparison video and by seeing cross-sectional coupling samples. This led to the decision to adopt Toyox products after recognizing that TOYOFUSSO SOFT hoses and TOYOCONNECTOR couplings offered significant improvements. Toyox’s products have been well-received for both their safe usability and the boost in production efficiency they offer.
