Hydraulic Hose Repairs | "Penny-Pinching" Wasteful Management

Hello, everyone.

This is Enta.

Are you all cheapskates?

I'm a total cheapskate!

That said,Cherish that sense of "what a waste"I've set it to that.

A company is a company because it has employees, right?

We're all making money together.

For example, let's say someone is being extremely careless with machinery or other equipment.

If the machine breaks down and cannot be used without repairs, repair costs will be incurred.

Since we obviously can't access the site, we'll lease the equipment.

That’s why expenses keep going up. And, naturally, when expenses go up, the money the team brings in goes down.

When your money runs out, in the worst-case scenario, that means your salary will be cut.

If you treat company property carelessly just because it belongs to the company, you will inevitably pay the price.

On the other hand, if you treat it with care, those benefits will come back to you.

Taking good care of your machines and belongings pays off big time in the long run.

If you get too caught up in the here and now, you tend to lose sight of what's truly important.

Let's always keep that sense of "what a waste" in mind!


But that's beside the point.

As hydraulic hoses age, their surfaces become frayed.

As shown below

I'll be dragging the hose around, you know~ lol

Once it gets to this point, it won’t be able to withstand the hydraulic pressure and will simply burst, bringing everything to an end.

As expectedWhat a wasteSo, when I was thinking about how to reinforce this, I thought, “This is it!!”

So, what we'll be using isHeat-Shrink TubingThat's it.

It shrinks when heated, andSqueezeThat's how it goes.

I'll reinforce it with this.

Cut it a little longer than the hose.

I'll start layering them on. (It's quite a hassle since I have to start from the edge.)

Hold the torch at a moderate distance while searing. (If you hold it too close, it will melt and ruin the dish.)

Lately, I've been using a heat gun that blows hot air. (Try searching for "Hakko heat gun.")

It works best if you do it by releasing the air from the center outward.

Once you get the hang of it, it doesn't matter where you start.

If you leave it like this for a while, the adhesive will set and provide solid protection.

When choosing a compression sleeve, try to,Search for "waterproof" or "with adhesive"You should go ahead and buy it.

It adheres securely and is waterproof. If you buy it in a tube, it usually costs just a few hundred yen per meter.

This is a new 1-inch hydraulic hose; one 20-meter roll usually costs over 100,000 yen.

You can restore it to near-new condition for just a few thousand yen without having to replace it entirely.

Well, since we sell hoses ourselves, it doesn't cost us much, but I imagine it's quite an expense for everyone else.

Let me know if it's not urgent lol

We'll sell it to you at our trade price.

(If you would like to place an order, please email us the part number of the fitting, as well as the hose length and diameter.)

However,There is a drawback to this.

The hose itself (the tubular part) becomes stiff.

If that's okay with you, please give it a try.

This is how we save money at our house lol

*I don't think it'll work with a torn hydraulic hose.

*If the pressure is similar to that of a spray hose, it should be possible to perform a temporary fix in the event of a tear.

 

See you later.
