The choice of components for the food and beverage industry involves complying with the safety regulations that determine material properties to prevent food contamination. The cleanability and resistance of materials to alkaline or acid detergents or disinfectants are among the main requested features.

Primary food production, such as harvesting, milking and breeding, and then its preparation, transformation, manufacturing, packaging, storage, transport, distribution, handling and supply, including consumer catering, are required to satisfy the demands of EHEDG guideline n.32, HACCP, FDA guideline 21 CFR 177.2600 and FDA 21 CFR 177.1520 and the other regulations.

The ILME T-TYPE Hygienic enclosures series is designed to be suitable for food industry applications.

The moulding technology used results in increased thickness for a sturdy connection in lightweight connectors with refined technical designs. For increased safety, the self-extinguishing thermoplastic material (ECOLAB approved) is easily cleanable and resistant to the cleaning and sanitising agents commonly used in food processing factories, while an IP66/IP69 degree of protection withstands high-pressure and high-temperature washdown procedures providing high durability over time.

Greater detectability is achieved by the use of blue-coloured locking levers and sealing gaskets to enhance their visibility in video inspection and to easily identify any accidental contamination in food products. Starting with the 21.21 size, ILME has also introduced locking levers detectable by metal detectors with the addition of a metal-detectable additive.

The ILME T-TYPE Hygienic enclosures also have the same fixing points compared to standard rectangular connectors’ housing and are compatible with all ILME inserts.
