New compact connector specifically for food industry the CKH Hygienic from ILME

As a supplier to machine builders in the food industry, CC Netherlands is always connected to market trends. In mechanical engineering, there is a clear trend toward compactness of components. This trend is driven by several factors including saving space on the shop floor, designing lighter and more efficient systems with lower energy consumption, machine mobility, cost savings and modularity.

One of the A-brands of CC Netherlands; ILME, has expanded its range of connector enclosures for the food industry. The new CKH Hygienic enclosures, with installation size "21.21", offer a perfect compact solution. This compactness is a trend found in various industries.

The new series offers many advantages of particular interest to the food industry, including:

• Robustness and safety: made of self-extinguishing thermoplastic material (PA), easy to clean and resistant to the detergents and disinfectants often used in the food industry.
• Detectability: blue colored moving or removable parts can be easily identified by video inspection to prevent accidental contamination in food products. The locking levers are also traceable by metal detectors in case of accidental loss or fall in the food line.
• IP resistance: IP 66/67/69 protection rating to provide protection against high pressure and high temperature during cleaning, which also ensures long service life.

CKH enclosures comply with the main regulations of the food sector, such as the ECOLAB® and EHEDG directives. They can be combined with the entire range of compact internals, including power, signal and data connectors. CKH Hygienic offers a combination of hygiene, safety, durability and efficiency, making these connectors an excellent choice for the food industry.
