Purity protection with stainless-steel enclosures
07 January 2009
To maintain the high standards required within the food manufacturing and processing industry, enclosures that offer superior specifications in terms of hygiene and corrosion protection are requisite
Rittal offers a wide range of stainless steel enclosures, which meet these demands, offering a high degree of protection against corrosion and meeting the strictest hygienic standards.
The Rittal stainless steel series incorporates a range of wall and floor standing enclosures, from small terminal boxes to large TS 8 baying systems as well as human machine interface consoles and kiosks. Manufactured from grade 1.4301 stainless steel, the enclosures have a brushed finish to offer additional rust protection.
Equipment within the food processing environment industry is often subjected to daily rigorous wash down procedures, which is critical for preserving product purity and quality. Rittal's stainless steel range includes a series of IP69K sealed enclosures, which have been designed to protect the internal electrical components during these wash downs from any form of water ingress. The enclosures are designed to mount control gear on the inner door and protect the electrical equipment to IP69K after the door has been closed. IP69K test certificates are currently the highest protection standard against water ingress.
To prevent harmful contaminants such as microorganisms and bacteria from harbouring on the enclosure surfaces and crevices, Rittal offer a Nano Anti-Microbial surface treatment on all stainless steel enclosures. The treatment inhibits the growth of harmful bacteria such as Staphylococcus Aureus and Esherichia Coli. Working as a cell well penetrant the treatment disrupts the key cell functions so that micro organisms cannot function, grow or reproduce helping to eliminate potential contaminants, which could have a detrimental impact on customer production.
Rittal has recently introduced a range of stainless-steel cooling units to compliment their enclosure range. Manufactured using high quality stainless-steel (V2A/1.4301), the TopTherm range offers flexibility for baying enclosures, multiple unit operation, PLC connection, software support, door switch control and diagnostics.
The cooling range is compatible with any Rittal stainless-steel enclosure, is robust and rust-resistant, with certification to UL and CUL.
