The Imbema Hose Care Program reduces downtime

European Distributors of Industrial Supplies imbema-hose-care-programm

Hoses are used to transport gases, liquids and solids in a wide range of industries. That hose serves as the vital link in the production process. A defective hose means downtime, which can have a direct impact on the production process. Time when production is not in progress can mean the difference between profit and loss. In order to reduce downtime and therefore loss, ­Imbema Cleton, together with its customers, has developed the Imbema Hose Care Program or “IHCP” for short.

So many factors to be taken into account 
When using hoses and couplings within your company, there are a lot of factors that you need to take into account:
• Is the hose suitable for the application?
• Has the hose been installed correctly?
• Does the hose meet all the relevant (safety) standards?
• Has the hose been tested and certified?
• Does the hose need to be replaced?
• Do I need to keep spare hoses in stock myself?
• Where is the best place to purchase the hose?
• Where can I get the best advice?
