Benefits
Rittal's HD solutions offer several benefits, including reduced use of cleaning agents, optimized cleaning results, increased productivity, minimized risks, and improved energy efficiency.
Applications
These solutions are ideal for open processes in the food industry, ensuring compliance with hygiene standards and facilitating successful audits by IFS 6 and trading firms. The modular design allows for easy integration and customization to meet specific production needs.
Conclusion
Rittal's Hygienic Design provides comprehensive solutions for maintaining high hygiene standards in production environments, particularly in the food industry, ensuring safety, efficiency, and compliance with regulatory requirements.
Additional Specifications
Material specifications include stainless steel 1.4301 (AISI 304) for enclosures and doors, with lock inserts made from stainless steel 1.4404 (AISI 316L). Seals are silicone, compliant with FDA Guideline 21 CFR 177.2600. The surface finish has a brushed finish with a grain of 400 and a peak-to-valley height of less than 0.8 μm.
Accessories and Options
HD side panels, baying frames, and mounting plate infills are available to customize the enclosure setup. HD levelling feet and wall spacer brackets are designed to enhance stability and hygiene by allowing easy cleaning access. Air/water heat exchangers are available for climate control in hygienically sensitive areas, with a focus on easy cleaning and food safety compliance.
Critical Points with Conventional Solutions
Conventional solutions have issues such as cable entry in front of the seal, no minimum radii on the hexagon, presence of external threads, and gaps caused by O-ring on the enclosure surface.
Hygienic Design Features
Hygienic design features include a seal directly at the cable entry, compliance with minimum radii on the hexagon, no external threads, and flush termination between the cap nut and the enclosure.
Components and Tools
Stainless steel lock nuts are available in various sizes to match HD cable glands. An assembly tool is provided for attaching HD cable glands, adaptable for sizes M12 to M25.
Interior Installation and System Enclosure
Details on rail systems and support structures for enclosures are provided, including PS punched rails and C rails. Images illustrate applications in the TS 8 baying system.
Application in Poultry Processing Plants
Hygienic Design enclosures are used in poultry processing plants to ensure high hygiene standards and protect sensitive control electronics. These enclosures are water-tight and resistant to disinfectants, ensuring reliability during daily cleaning processes. The design includes a blue silicone seal for a secure, gap-free closure.
Conclusion
Hygienic Design enclosures and components are crucial for maintaining hygiene and operational reliability in industrial environments, particularly in food processing.
