Application
In food production the issue is not chips or dust but cleanability. Every seam where product residue can sit is a risk, and every cleaning cycle with hot water, foam and disinfectant loads the carrier. We supply cable carriers that handle washdown, with stainless steel end connectors and smooth, enclosed designs.
On working days you receive a tailored quotation by email within 3 hours.
An open carrier with crossbars has dozens of corners where product residue and biofilm can sit. In a wet zone you therefore choose an enclosed version with a flat top surface that lets water and foam run off. In drier zones such as packing and palletising a semi-open version is fine — there fast inspection matters more than full closure.
The links are plastic; the difference is in the metal parts. End connectors, driver brackets and bolts are available in stainless steel, so nothing rusts in the wet zone and cleaning leaves no brown streaks. For aggressive cleaning or high temperatures we check per agent whether the plastic and the cable jacket can take the load.
Where possible do not place the carrier directly above open product, and make sure the trough drains instead of holding water. Keep the number of loose parts above the product flow low and keep the carrier reachable: what a cleaner cannot reach does not get clean. Often an open-ended trough is more hygienic than a sealed hood that traps water.
In chilled and freezer applications the cable jacket stiffens, which means you need a larger bend radius than at room temperature. Choose jacket materials rated for low temperature and for oil and cleaning agents, and keep the fill level well below 60% so the stiffer cable does not jam.
Stock items ship the same working day when ordered before 15:00. Every article shows dimensions, weights and drawings; if your hygiene file needs extra material information we supply it with the quotation on request.
Share the zone, cleaning method and cable package. On working days you receive a quotation with the right version and stainless steel parts within three hours.
