Using chemicals in a hose can cause the hose to harden over a short period with certain types and concentrations of chemicals. Because hardened hoses cannot be returned to their original condition and may cause various types of problems, they should be replaced as soon as possible. In this article, Hose Adviser PRO will explain how certain chemicals can cause a hose to harden, and how to prevent this from happening. Key points of this article Why are PVC hoses soft? Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) resin is often used to make general-purpose hoses. PVC resin is hard at room temperature and cannot be bent. The PVC resin used in hoses, however, […]

Energy is essential to our lives. Even in factories and production sites, many tasks are carried out using electricity and gas, and energy savings are becoming increasingly important. However, there may be some people who are unsure about how to save energy. Here, Hose Adviser PRO will describe tips on how energy can be saved by preventing kinking and collapsing. Because even minor worksite improvements can often save energy, we urge you to read about the measures introduced here. Key points of this article Why does hose kinking and collapsing prevent energy savings? Here’s a question from Hose Adviser PRO. Hoses used in factory facilities are essential components for efficiently […]

Maintenance of hose piping is essential for preventing fluid leaks and hose disconnections. The retightening of hose clamps is also particularly important. Hose Adviser PRO explains why retightening is necessary and how to perform retightening, as well as methods to further reduce the likelihood of fluid leaks and hose disconnections. Key points of this article So, why do hose clamps need to be retightened? Hose clamps are used to secure hoses and ensure a tight seal between the hose and the coupling. This reduces the likelihood of fluid leaks and hose disconnections, even when hoses are under pressure. However, because the elasticity of plastic hoses at the point where the […]

Energy savings is an essential issue for sustainable development and cost reduction at company factories and production sites. Hose piping is also an important element of energy savings, and appropriate measures can help improve energy efficiency. By combining hoses with dedicated couplings, we here at Toyox are able to prevent leaks and disconnections while reducing pressure losses, thereby contributing to energy savings at factories. Here, Hose Adviser PRO will describe tips on saving energy through hose piping and the anticipated effects. Key points of this article Saving energy through leak and disconnection prevention Fluid leakage from connections between hoses and couplings, or due to loose hoses, leads directly to energy […]

When using hose clamps, keeping a few key points in mind can reduce the chances of leaks and disconnections. Hose Adviser PRO provides explanations on the causes of fluid leaks and hose disconnections, as well as on installing hose clamps in a manner that prevents problems from occurring. Key points of this article Properly Installing Hose Clamps to Prevent Leaks and Disconnections There are four main points to note for ensuring safe and secure installation of hose clamps in order to prevent leaks and disconnections. ①Hose clamp tightening position ②Hose clamp quantity ③Hose clamp orientation ④Hose clamp tightening force Now, before explaining each key point, here’s a question from Hose […]

One of the keys to improving productivity at factories and production sites is choosing the right hose. Because hoses come in many different materials and structures, selecting the right hose for your application can help you prevent problems while increasing production efficiency. In this article, Hose Adviser PRO will explain the key points to consider when selecting a hose for improving productivity. Key points of this article Why choose a hose for the purpose of improving productivity? Although selecting the right hose is a basic step toward improving productivity, have you ever chosen a hose with this in mind? Have you ever thought about how productivity can be improved? Let’s […]
