Disconnection of couplings during high-temperature cleaning and sterilization of food transport lines is a concern

For transporting raw materials at a soy sauce manufacturing plant, TOYORING-F Hose 38φ and barbed cam locks were used with hose clamp fastenings. However, during cleaning and sterilization, hot water at 80°C flows at a pressure close to the upper limit of the allowable pressure for a short time.

The monitor uses a special TC6-CS38 coupling, which is compatible with cam locks and can prevent leakage. This eliminates concerns about hoses becoming disconnected, so it was decided to change other pipes as needed.
