LAPP Australia’s stainless-steel SKINTOP® Hygienic cable gland range is designed to prevent micro-organisms and bacteria from sticking to surfaces in food and beverage facilities and production areas.
A cable gland range designed for reliable, germ-free performance in food and beverage applications is helping Australian food and beverage companies optimise hygiene practices post-Covid.
The SKINTOP® Hygienic range from integrated cable and connection solutions leader, LAPP, has been specifically designed to meet the most stringent global requirements of hygienic design, including following the general design principles of DIN EN 1672-2 in Germany, and compliance with ECOLAB in America as well as EHEDG in Europe.
LAPP Australia holds strong stock locally of the SKINTOP® Hygienic range, which is made from stainless steel, and is suitable for direct contact with foodstuffs in production.
“All SKINTOP cable glands have a smooth, rounded shape, with no corners or angles where bacteria or micro-organisms might be able to settle and accumulate,” says LAPP Australia General Manager, Mr Simon Pullinger.
“Additionally, the cable glands are comprised of stainless steel class V4A, which guarantees long-term resistance to demanding ambient conditions. All sealing materials are also food safe. A special elastomer is used on the SKINTOP range’s seals, which provides extremely high strain relief on the cable,” he says.
SKINTOP® Hygienic is designed to satisfy even the most stringent requirements of the food and beverage industry.
“Food and beverage manufacturers have always had a strong focus on hygiene, but the prevalence of Covid has shone an even stronger spotlight on the need to be meticulous when it comes to hygiene practices. LAPP’s SKINTOP Hygienic range meets and exceeds any standard around the world, as well as being designed to last in service.” “And SKINTOP’s ECOLAB certification demonstrates the range’s durability against widely used cleaning agents, ensuring that washdown and cleaning procedures will not impact the product’s integrity and hygiene standards.”
