Rittal Hygienic Design Enclosures and accessories

Click2Contact

All areas of the food industry require different hygiene standards. Particularly in open processes, where the resistance of the seal to detergents and disinfectants is crucial, it is vital for production plant to be equipped with optimised enclosures, terminal boxes and command panels.

APS Industrial is offering Rittal’s range of hygienic design enclosures which are suited to food and beverage manufacturing environments — from the housing and the power distribution to the climate control and the IT infrastructure.

Crafted from stainless steel, they feature a smooth surface grain, internal hinges, washable gaskets and latches, and no crevices to trap debris or contaminates. In addition, compatible accessories such as wall spacer brackets and cable glands are available as part of the range.

The enclosures are available with screw covers for smaller, integrated applications or hinged doors for larger installations. Both are created from 304 stainless steel with a 400-grain brushed surface. Wall and door surfaces are angled to prevent objects from adhering so water runs off easily.

The products can be mounted with rounded stand-off brackets on the back to improve the flow of water around the unit during washdown procedures. Further, using optional hardware, larger enclosures can be mounted on levelling feet and fitted with a wire shelf to assist with cable routing.

All mounting threads are concealed to keep them free of debris and contaminants. Optional stainless-steel cable glands have smooth, solid exterior surfaces and are self-sealing to enable high-pressure washing.

Continuous silicone seal door gaskets can be replaced as necessary without the need for special tools. The blue gaskets align with a specifically engineered fitted channel for a tight seal without any adhesive. The distinctive colour makes any particulate splashed on the seal stand out for easier recognition and removal.
