Electrical Enclosures for Washdown Environments – Hammond Manufacturing and Allied Electronics & Automation
FORT WORTH — Washdown environments found in food, beverage, medical, pharmaceutical, and other industries need watertight electrical enclosures that can withstand high-temperature, high-pressure spray of water or chemicals. Hammond Manufacturing and Allied Electronics & Automation are helping companies in these industries select the electrical enclosures that are well-suited for these conditions.
Hammond’s Waterfall series stainless steel electrical enclosures, available from Allied, are particularly useful for food and beverage processing plants and other sanitary, washdown environments where bacteria and corrosion are concerns. Typically, a flat-top enclosure would allow for standing water to accumulate, which would create a breeding ground for bacteria. The Waterfall enclosures’ 25-degree sloped top prevents water and other liquids from accumulating and, in combination with its brushed No. 4 finish, makes cleaning quick and simple.
