November 8, 2013 - RST released Euro Top Hygiene stainless steel cable gland, where all active components have been placed inside so that the surface is completely smooth. This cable gland has sealing rings made of TPE material (in accordance with FDA 21 CFR 177.2600), which is especially approved for the food industry. The well thought-out construction means that the cable gland also meets protection standards IP68 and IP69K. This also brings another advantage of the Euro-Top Hygienic: rapid and therefore cost-saving cleaning.
The construction is resistant to chemical cleaning products and allows cleaning with high-pressure cleaners thus preventing the formation of any kind of contamination. At the same time the high level of tightness of the screw thread prevents the intrusion of any foreign matter. The cable gland is especially interesting for such lines of business as the food and drink, the pharmaceutical and the chemical industries, cleanroom operations and biotechnology all benefit from this innovation. RST produces Euro-Top Hygienic as a standard version suitable for the assembly of unshielded cables. For shielded cables options with EMC contact system (for function details see also Euro-Top EMC) are available.
