The evolution of the hygienic Ilme T-Type series
Food security is significant in the process of bringing a food product to the market. Contaminated ingredients can effectively hinder the operation of the processing plant and even stop production. The basic factors allowing to improve the production process are:
- efficient detection,
- easy removal of impurities that may significantly affect the quality of the product.
Ilme designers aimed to improve these factors and modernize T-TYPE HIGIENIC series of connectors for food applications.
The blue levers of the enclosures are made of a mixture of plastics with metal additives that facilitate detection of contamination. Additionally, surface mounting housings can now be fitted with shaped planarity gasket (available in four sizes: CR 06/10/16/24 GTPC) that effectively fills the space between the housing and the panel. The gasket secures the connection and eliminates the potential nesting of hazardous dirt risk.
The housings offer an IP66/IP67/IP69 degree of protection, suitable for food industry splash area in accordance with the ECOLAB and EHDG guidelines (Regulation No. 32). They also allow operation in the temperature range from -40 to +70 degrees Celsius.
