IP69K Washdown Solutions
Keeping your facility compliant with the latest guidelines for food safety can be difficult. That is why Regal Rexnord offers a complete product portfolio designed to meet the stringent 3rd party IP69K certification.
Why IP69K Matters For Food And Beverage Production Equipment
Food and beverage production facilities require constant sanitation procedures to keep product safe. Equipment like electric motors are subject to caustic cleaning agents and high-powered cleaning sprays. Not all equipment can withstand this harsh treatment. That's where the IP rating comes in.
Ingress Protection (IP) Marking rates the degree of protection provided by mechanical casings and electrical enclosures against intrusion, dust, accidental contact and water. It is published by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). The IP69K rating is for high-pressure, high-temperature washdown applications. Enclosures conforming to it must not only be dust-tight, but also able to withstand high pressure and steam cleaning.
Regal Rexnord: The Industry Leader in IP69K-Rated Equipment
Regal Rexnord makes industry leading products, including washdown electric motors that have earned an IP69K rating. For an electric motor, the enclosure is the first line of defense against dirt and contaminants. The enclosure determines the extent of the seal and protection the motor receives against its environment.
