Operators of machinery and systems in the food industry are increasingly expecting machine manufacturers to deliver hygienically optimised solutions. The new Hygienic Design product range from Rittal ensures that the company's housing systems are suitable for the most demanding applications where hygiene is key. As part of this new hygiene concept, the company has developed a cable gland designed specifically for these requirements.
One special feature of the new cable gland is the cap nut that extends all the way to the mounting surface, thereby concealing the entire clamping and sealing mechanism. This component was developed in line with hygienic design criteria in strict accordance with DIN EN 1672-2, DIN EN ISO 14159 and the applicable EHEDG guidelines. The transition to the housing and cable is accomplished using flush-fitting seals. These are coloured blue for visibility, making them easily distinguishable from foodstuffs.
A double attachment over the inner seal and additional clamping jaws provide reliable strain relief for the inserted cables. The hygienic cable gland is also highly resistant to chemicals and thermal stress. Both the 1.4305 grade stainless steel used in its construction and the seals are resistant to the cleaning agents, disinfectants, acids and alkalis commonly used in the food industry, as well as to condensed water.
As well as its use in the food industry, this cable gland is safe for use in environments such as clean rooms in the pharmaceutical and semiconductor industries, biotechnology and aseptic applications in hospitals.
