From laboratories to meat processing plants, from hospitals to explosion-proof clean
rooms: there are applications in which the highest operating safety meets maximum
hygienic requirements. SCHURTER supports manufacturers of applications with increased
hygiene requirements with customised input systems.
Applications with increased hygiene requirements always demand special solutions. Let's take the housing of the operating unit as an example: the design must be without dirty edges, so that bacteria have no chance to adhere to edges or recesses. In addition, the entire application, i.e. including the housing and front, must be able to withstand cleaning under high pressure and exposure to steam or chemicals. In the food industry, it is also imperative
that no glass splinters can escape. To eliminate this risk, the control panels have an additional protective layer over the glass surface or, if glass is not an option, are made of shatterproof polycarbonate.
