The food and beverage industry has some very strict hygiene
rules set in place and all for good reasons, but one simple way to ensure your
equipment is abiding by these rules is to ensure you have the right cable
connections.
Lapp has a wide selection of hygienic cable glands available to choose from, ensuring there is a
product for you, your industry and industrial applications. One important
feature to consider when either designing products for this industry, or
selecting your desired product for use in it, is to have smooth, stainless
steel surfaces.
Lapp Group’s SKINTOP Inox is a hygienic cable gland which
fundamentally provides everything you need for the use in the food, drinks and
packaging industry. Standard cable glands when expected closely have exposed
threads, tiny openings and protruding surface features, making them less than
ideal from a hygiene perspective.
The SKINTOP Inox is made from food-grade 316L stainless
steel and features enclosed, sealed threads. Its exterior surfaces have no gaps
or protruding features that can trap particulate or microbes. In addition, the number
of tooling flats has been reduced to two, which blend seamlessly with the
surrounding housing surfaces. Lastly,
these hygienic cable glands feature integral food-grade silicone O-rings for IP
68 protection at 5 bar.
Besides from their outward appearance and internal seals,
the new hygienic glands meet the same high performance and ease-of-use
standards as other SKINTOP products. This includes operating temperatures ranging
from -30° to 100°c, a
wide clamping range of 7 – 13mm with M20
x 1.5 threads and is compliant with ISO 14159 standards for machinery
hygiene.
The
very first model of this range was first introduced later last year, with
alterations being made to create the ideal cable gland for use in one of the strictest
industries for hygiene.
