Hose interior material wears away, causing holes and requiring frequent hose replacement

The interior material of the resin pellet transfer hose tended to wear away, leading to holes and requiring frequent hose replacement. The worn material contaminated the product as well, leading to product loss and reducing the yield.

Changing to TOYOTOP-E-100°C, with a wear-resistance function, enabled significant improvement of the wear on the hose interior, reducing the frequency of hose replacement. The product contamination with hose material was also ameliorated, enabling countermeasures for the low yield and leading to improved productivity.
