The Winmate Hygienic IP65 Panel PCs are specifically designed to meet the challenges faced in food and beverage manufacturing environments. These panel PCs are built with several features and design considerations to ensure they can withstand the demanding conditions and strict hygiene requirements of the industry. Here are some key aspects of their design:
- IP65-rated Enclosure: The IP65 rating ensures that the panel PCs are completely sealed against dust and protected against low-pressure water jets. This prevents the ingress of particles or liquids that could contaminate the device or affect its performance.
- Stainless Steel Construction: The panel PCs are constructed using high-quality stainless steel materials, which offer excellent resistance to corrosion and facilitate easy cleaning. Stainless steel is also a preferred material in food and beverage manufacturing environments due to its hygienic properties.
- Smooth Surface Design: The panel PCs have a smooth and flat surface without any gaps or crevices that could trap dirt, debris, or food particles. This design facilitates thorough cleaning and eliminates potential breeding grounds for bacteria or other contaminants.
- Sealed Connectors and Cables: All connectors and cables on the panel PCs are designed to be sealed, preventing any liquid or dust ingress. This ensures the overall integrity of the system and minimizes the risk of contamination.
- Chemical Resistance: The materials used in the construction of the panel PCs are resistant to common cleaning agents and chemicals used in food and beverage manufacturing. This allows for frequent and thorough cleaning without causing damage to the devices.
- High Brightness and Touchscreen Capability: The panel PCs feature high-brightness displays that are easy to read even in brightly lit environments. They also incorporate touchscreen functionality, enabling intuitive and convenient operation, even when wearing gloves.
- Fanless Design: The panel PCs are designed to be fanless, which eliminates the risk of spreading airborne contaminants or particles. It also reduces maintenance requirements and minimizes the possibility of fan failure in harsh operating conditions.
- Wide Temperature Range: The panel PCs are designed to operate reliably in a wide temperature range, typically from -20°C to 60°C (-4°F to 140°F). This allows them to withstand the temperature variations commonly encountered in food and beverage manufacturing environments.
By integrating these design features, the Winmate Hygienic IP65 Panel PCs can effectively meet the challenges of the food and beverage manufacturing industry. They provide reliable and durable computing solutions while ensuring compliance with stringent hygiene standards and facilitating efficient cleaning processes.
