KEL-DPZ-HD has been specially developed for the use in the food and pharmaceutical industries
Foremost Electronics, the engineering-led Essex based
importer and specialist distributor of electromechanical components announces
the availability of the new icotek KEL-DPZ-HD
which has been specially developed for the
use in the food and pharmaceutical industries.
Working
within the Hygienic Design (EHEDG) guidelines, icotek have taken great care to
make the surface very smooth, avoiding any dirt-collecting recesses on the
visible side. The outer contour radius of 6mm, rather than the required minimum
of 3mm, exceeds the EHEDG specifications. The KEL-DPZ-HD uses an FDA-compliant
material in accordance with food approval 1935/2004 / EG and (EU) 10/2011.
The
new KEL-DPZ-HD are manufactured in the signal colour blue providing users with
clear visual colour recognition and are free of halogen and silicone. They have
high resistance to aromatic solvents, oils, greases, mineral products, are
corrosion proof and maintenance free.
Cables and hoses with a diameter range from
3.2mm to 22.2mm are routed and sealed to IP65/66/67/68. Depending on the
version, up to 35 cables can be routed. The clamping area has a flexibility of
up to 7mm and offers flexible options even during the assembly. The plates are
initially available with a metric thread in sizes M32, M40, M50 and M63. A
major advantage over conventional cable glands is the significantly greater
packing density. Fixing the cable entry plate with a lock nut is also an
option.
To complete its Hygienic Design System,
icotek developed detectable KB-HDD cable ties and KBH-HDD cable tie holders.
icotek also offers ST-B-HD plugs to provide a detachable version, in order to
seal any pierced cable entry membranes which are no longer in use.
Alan Vincent, Sales Director of Foremost, comments, “The automation of medical
product manufacturing and food processing continues to grow and cable access systems
are evolving fast to provide safe and convenient assembly. The new icotek FDA compliant
KEL-DPZ-HD provides a quick and convenient rugged cable access solution colour
keyed to provide visual identification to installers.”
