Manufacturers
of food and beverage process equipment involved in the logistics, processing,
filling and packaging industries face many challenges.
There are a wide range
of regulations for food products which need to be met and working in a wet
environment can wreak havoc on processing machinery.
Maintaining the processing
lines to ensure continuous flow with no shutdowns requires constant attention,
special skills and extensive training.
Molex’s
Brad® Ultra-Lock Stainless Steel Connection System meets the stringent
standards of the food and beverage industry. Its IP69K seal can withstand
washdowns up to 100 bar (1500 psi), ensuring optimum performance even in harsh,
wet environments.
Because the
system does not have threaded grooves like traditional M12-based hard-wired
systems, it is not susceptible to the lodging and transfer of bacteria,
ingredients and other foreign materials that can contaminate a processor’s end
products.
Other features
of the Brad Ultra-Lock system include:
- Threadless, “push-to-lock” technology saves time when installing and maintaining the control unit
- Material compatibility with a multitude of washdown chemicals
- Smooth 316 stainless steel construction limits where bacteria can collect
With the Ultra-Lock Connection System, processors can
realize a rapid return on investment due to decreased assembly/ disassembly
time and labor costs. Using the system also results in increased production
uptime with less risk of intermittent or loose connections versus traditional
M12 connection systems.
