Hygiene areas in food and beverage production, pharmaceuticals or fine chemicals all share one requirement: The devices and equipment must be easy to clean. The relevant directives, standards and legislative requirements must be observed, e.g. EHEDG, FDA, EN 1672-2 (Hygienic Design), GMP, LMHV, LMBG.

However, optimization and variation in the device hardware are also perfectly possible:

• Degree of protection
• Ruggedness
• Temperature resistance
• Design and installation versions
• Suitable for clean rooms
• Certification in accordance with ATEX

The aim is to find the cost-optimized solution for the specific application case.

The overview below shows different features depending on the applications areas, from packaging to the wet area in processing.

The product examples described on the following pages cover a wide range of the most important requirements.
