Food production places high demands on the technology used to ensure the safety, efficiency and quality of the products. Industrial PCs and Panel PCs are essential components in this environment and must be particularly robust, reliable and hygienic. In addition, these devices must also withstand aspects such as glass breakage, temperature and humidity.

In the following weeks, we would like to give you a brief overview of what needs to be considered when selecting hardware in the industry and which technology is particularly suitable for use in the food industry.

Hygienic design of the industrial or panel PC

Hygienic design is crucial in food production to ensure the safety and quality of products.

It helps to prevent contamination, comply with legal regulations, optimize cleaning processes, improve product quality, extend shelf life and strengthen the trust of consumers and business partners.

By implementing hygienic design, food producers can ensure that their products are safe, of high quality and competitive.

What to look out for?

– Housing material
Care must be taken to ensure that the housing material used cannot contaminate the food product with foreign bodies or splinters (e.g. paint chips). The housing should also be corrosion-resistant. Various stainless steels (V2A/V4A) or food-grade plastic have proven to be particularly suitable materials.

– IP protection classes
Devices should comply with protection class IP65 as a minimum in order to be protected against the ingress of dust and water, especially when cleaning with high-pressure cleaners.

– Seamless design
Seamless designs and rounded corners prevent the accumulation of dirt and bacteria.

– Easy to clean
Surfaces should be resistant to chemicals and easy to clean to allow the use of aggressive cleaning agents and disinfectants.

Especially when using chloride-containing cleaning agents or highly concentrated acids or bases, we recommend contacting the IPC manufacturer beforehand to check the material resistance.
