Engineered for harsh and sanitary washdown cleaning procedures,
HyShed provides the ultimate protection needed to simplify routine
maintenance and increase system reliability
LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
nVent Electric plc (NYSE:NVT) (“nVent”), a global leader in electrical
connection and protection solutions, announced the launch of nVent
HOFFMAN HyShed, an innovative total sanitary enclosure solution. The
state-of-the-art HyShed is engineered especially for protection of
electrical equipment in harsh sanitary washdown and Clean-in-place (CIP)
procedures in Food & Beverage applications and other harsh environments.
“For years, the Food & Beverage industry has been forced to take extra,
time-consuming manual steps to protect critical electrical equipment
during routine washdowns – or risk production delays and equipment
damage due to water intrusion and bacterial growth,” said Dana Myers,
global product manager. “After visiting hundreds of plants, it is clear
there are systemic challenges with protecting controls in the Food &
Beverage industry. Maintenance crews are constantly finding workarounds
to ensure automation equipment is protected and HyShed is specifically
designed to solve these application challenges. With its streamlined
design and robust construction, HyShed provides the ultimate protection
needed to promote longer lifecycles of controls and drives, while
speeding and simplifying routine maintenance.”
Meets the industry’s highest standards
Engineered for ultimate protection, the entire HyShed portfolio meets
the IP69K (DIN) and IP69 (IEC) ratings, the highest ranks on the Ingress
Protection (IP) rating scale. HyShed also is tested and certified to NSF
and Type 4X. In addition, HyShed is the first enclosure to have a 3-A
System Component Qualification Certificate. Products with these ratings
are ideally suited for facilities where hygiene and cleanliness are
critical, such as direct and indirect food contact areas.
Specially designed for ultimate protection
HyShed helps wipe out bacteria-harboring catch points with its
streamlined design, and virtually eliminates the possibility of moisture
or chemical entry with its replaceable FDA-grade blue silicone gasket,
all while reducing maintenance-related costs and delays.
HyShed’s special design features include:
-
Streamlined hygienic design with internally mounted hinges to
reduce catch points and corrosion; crevice-free latch and screw
surfaces that use a standard tool to make maintenance easier; and a
solid back with no pre-tapped holes for easy weld mounting.
-
Sloped top to prevent fluids or particulates from pooling,
while maximizing back panel space and minimizing footprint.
-
Replaceable blue FDA-grade silicone gasket that’s easy to
replace, clean, maintain and install. It also resists bacteria growth
and chemical absorption, and helps eliminate the possibility of water
entry.
-
Complete 304 stainless steel construction and hardware with a
No. 4 Dairy finish that better protects against corrosion, moisture
entry and collection of particulates.
-
Full enclosure and accessory solution, including 18 hinge cover
models, 5 screw cover models, and a variety of new IP69K-rated
accessories.
