flui-ID Hose Management Program is a featured service from Fluiconnecto that goes beyond inspection activities. This service has been carefully designed to optimize the availability of customer’s hydraulic and industrial hose assemblies, leverage their key resources and minimize the possibilities of unexpected failures.

 

EVOLVING FROM A RREACTIVETO A PROACTIVE APPROACH

Through a detailed strategy, flui-ID Hose Management Program transforms customer’s hose maintenance activities.

flui-ID is able to plan service intervals and organize on time replacements of only those hoses requiring attention. In this way, customers are able to avoid additional costs and unexpected failures.

As experts in the field of high-pressure fluid connectors and components, we are aware of the importance of complying with norms and safety requirements. Our flui-ID Hose Management Program has been designed to ensure significant reduction of risks, including:

  • FIRE RISKS: One single hose, bursting at high pressure with hot oil into a nearby flame can result into a fire, consuming a whole section from a manufacturing plant.
  • ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION: Most hoses transport fluids that can be very harmful to the environment in the case of leaking, regardless the quantity spilled. This is why is important to make sure the assemblies have been correctly connected and don't present leak signs through time.
  • HEALTH AND SAFETY RISKS: One of the main, if not most important factors to ensure the adequate maintenance of hose assemblies, is to ensure the health and safety of employees and people in general, around the working equipment.
  • MACHINE AND OUTPUT LOSS: When working with products that are sensitive to stains or contact with fluids, it is of major importance to ensure that the equipment's hose assemblies are in optimum state and are regularly checked to avoid production losses.

 

HEALTH AND SAFETY SKILLS ARE PRIORITY
