Worksite Improvement Case Studies

The Food and Beverage Workplace

With leakage risk and hose replacement workability improved, production efficiency was rapidly improved

At a dairy product processing plant, multiple rubber hoses with hose clamp fastening were used as piping to supply CIP cleaning liquid to the tanks. However, the hose walls were too thick, making the clamps hard to fasten and leading to leakage through loose fastenings. The hoses were also hard to lay out, requiring replacement at several hundred points.

HYBRID TOYOSILICONE Hoses with excellent flexibility were adopted, so that the piping work time was reduced and the clamps could be firmly fastened, reducing leakage. Work efficiency improved due to the hose flexibility and easier clamp fastening, with switching planned sequentially for other piping as well.
