■IP69 testing proofs that ABB IP&S products are perfect in food and beverage applications
●For food and beverage applications with high demands on cleaning it can be hard to find plugs and sockets that can withstand both the high pressure, high temperature spray downs and the chemical detergents used to keep the environment as clean as it needs to be. Well, some of our long term customers knows a solution: Our toughest products has been around for a while and are well proven in these kind of environments.
■Designed for tough applications
●The plastic material we use for the housings is probably the best material used for these kind products when it comes to chemical resistance. It also shows a remarkable combination of valuable properties, such as flammability rating, resistance to UV and humidity and resistance to impact. The very robust design and thick walls of the housings makes rough handling something these products are designed for.
■IP69 testing proofs resistance to high pressure and high temperature spray downs
●The connectors and sockets from our Tough & Safe range and the heavy duty mechanical interlocks from the Critical & Safe range has been tested by third party for IP69, they fulfill the IP69 requirements both as stand-alone and while mated with our Tough & Safe plugs or inlets. IP69 (used to be called IP69K) means that the products withstands close-range high pressure, high temperature spray downs. IP69 is a common requirement in this kind of applications but there are very few manufacturers of industrial plugs and sockets who can offer products that fulfil this.
■Other not so good solutions
●Other ways to deal with the challenges in these kind of applications exist when products without this high performance is used. One way of doing this is to not tighten the glands of the products and let the water that enters the electrical equipment find its way out again after spray downs, another way is to just replace equipment that frequently breaks due to the chemical and mechanical challenges in the environment. Both these ways implies safety risks to personnel and machinery, to frequently replace plugs and sockets is of course also bad for productivity.
