Washdown applications require special connectors, fittings, cylinders and displays

Wainbee offers products perfectly suited for washdown applications. Its selection of connectors, fittings, cylinders and displays from leading manufacturers are built to stand up to the demands of the food and beverage, pharmaceutical and chemical sectors, as well as other industries where a clean environment is a top priority.

Connectors and fittings

Wainbee can supply Parker Legris LIQUIfit connectors and fittings. These units are ideal for washdown environments, and are particularly suited for liquid transfer applications such as dispensers and water purification systems. LIQUIfit features an innovative sealing and gripping design that drastically reduces bacteria growth, resulting in 100 per cent cleanliness. For example, LIQUIfit push-in fittings with metal adapters are designed to ensure reliable and compact connections, as well as excellent robustness in liquid transfer applications. They feature easy-to-clean external surfaces, patented sealing technology, a bio-sourced polymer body that meets the most severe food process regulations, compatibility with beverages, and unsurpassed chemical and mechanical resistance, even at high temperatures.

Cylinders

Wainbee also carries Clippard cylinders in 303 and 304 stainless steel for harsh environments. They feature a Nitrile rod wiper to keep potential contaminants from penetrating inside the cylinder, and are available with bore sizes from ¾ to two inches. In addition, FDA-compliant grease for lubrication is standard for all Clippard food-grade cylinders, as well as FDA-compliant rod and clevis bushings.

High-performance display

The company also offers the Parker IX PowerStation, the most reliable and powerful supervisory HMI. The InteractX (IX) PowerStation combines a rugged, industrial design with sleek, modern esthetics. Packed with the time-tested, powerful InteractX software, this HMI provides SCADA-like capabilities in a thin, economical package. With an IP65 rated aluminum bezel, you can count on the IX to withstand the toughest washdown environments. The unit is offered in a variety of sizes, from a compact seven inches to an impressive 22 inches. In addition, the depth of each HMI offers minimal intrusion into the cabinet, allowing the IX to fit where other HMIs cannot.

Industrial hose for washdown applications

The Parker ECW Economy White Washdown Hose Series 7079 is a flexible, lightweight, medium pressure washdown hose for hot water and mild chemicals in cleaning and washdown applications. The hose construction incorporates multiple plies of textile reinforcement that provide flexibility, and the white, non-marking cover is resistant to abrasion, heat and the ozone.
