Many food and beverage processing plants have
water and other liquid exposure due to high-
pressure hosedown, condensation, accidental
spills or machine oils and lubricants, all of which
can shorten the life of your electrical system.
When specifying electrical systems for food
and beverage processing facilities, consider
the following issues relating to hosedown
areas and liquid exposure in general:
r Liquid ingress can deteriorate or short out an electrical
system immediately or over time
r Electrical system components designed with round
surfaces help to shed contaminants, rather than
creating a shelf where they can collect
r Processing equipment that hangs on a wall is often
mounted on stand-off wall brackets to enable cleaning
of all surfaces, including the back and bottom sides
Thomas & Betts electrical solutions offer protection
against liquid, moisture and dust ingress.
