LAPP solutions for Food & Beverage There are few industries which are as multifaceted and demanding when it comes to the requirements and operating conditions as the food and beverage industry. The strict hygiene and cleanliness requirements that exist in the food processing segment also apply to its machineries and electrical components. Radek Kasparik Market Manager Food & Beverage/Packaging There are complex requirements for cables and accessories in the food and beverage industry, as well as in bottling and food packaging plants. They must be resistant to a whole host of chemical,...

Cables and connectors for the food industry Quality is another important factor for the industry – if the quality is insufficient, consumers become dissatisfied and it could also put their health at risk. It is therefore important that the production facilities are regularly cleaned to remove dirt and germs. This is often done using steam jets and either acidic or alkaline cleaning agents, aggressive cleaning agents in a dry process or the most recent innovation: dry ice. In each case, the facilities are exposed to highly strenuous conditions, the details of which can vary greatly....

In the food and beverage industry, cables and cabling components are subjected to particularly strenuous conditions. If unsuitable components are used, then screw joints could corrode and the cable insulation could swell, as can be seen in the image. The components would lose some of their functionality and it could result in hazardous situations. disinfectant for each facility. This reduces cost and saves the environment. Lower concentrations of cleaning agents and disinfectants also have a positive impact on the durability of the materials, which reduces the risk of downtime. The fact is...

Loops along the cables trap dirt and are tough to clean, so they should be avoided in food production. Best practice: loose cabling The Safe Food Factory working group is tasked with discussing how such hazards can be prevented. One important aspect is the type of installation: cables are often bundled more tightly together than they ought to be. Loose cabling with a bit of space would be better for easy cleaning. However, technical inspectors normally put great emphasis on the use of fixed installations – a happy medium needs to be found. The members of the working group also recommend not...

At first glance, components in hygienic design, and specially designed accessories, are often seen as a way to increase prices – which is why they have not been universally implemented in practice. The focus soon shifts to the higher expenditure in comparison to standard products rather than the long-term benefits. But it is worth noting that the higher the components’ quality and level of suitability, the lower the running costs will be because these components are more durable and easier to clean. By contrast, unsuitable components could cause enormous damage. A breeding ground for germs...
