Schmersal Ibérica, S.L. - Switches, buttons and light switches
Command devices: special food
The Schmersal, through its subsidiary Elan Group offers a full range of remote control devices, specially designed for the food industry, fulfilling the hygiene regulations. The range includes illuminated pushbuttons, (available in 5 colours) pilots, pushbuttons, switches selectors of sustained contact or return by spring, buttons type seta, and emergency stop devices.
All these products have been created in accordance with the rules of hygiene for 22.3 mm in diameter (series N) holes.
We must take into account two aspects in relation to the requirements of hygiene of the machines: firstly, the suitability of the materials, and secondly, a hygienic design.
The surfaces and their transitions must be sufficiently smooth. Connections must be designed so that is to minimize the outgoing Parties, slots and hidden corners. The inner surfaces connections must submit curvatures with one sufficient diameter.
The materials used to operate the machine (e.g. lubricants), should not come into contact with foodstuffs. Liquids (food and cleaners) should get out of the machine, at least in the position of cleaning.
Any surface that comes into contact with food must be easy to clean. Inaccessible areas for cleaning, must be sealed against the penetration of organic substances.
The N-series aims to turn the special requirements of EN 1672-1 and EN 1672-2 standards, the requirements of safety and hygiene for food machinery in general, and also the standards EN 13570 (for mixing machines) and EN 12268 (for saws without end)
