Power it
Sealed where the water hits
The receptacle and the switch are one unit: the circuit cannot be made or broken under load, and the handle takes a lock. IP67 sealed, so the hose-down does not decide when the line stops. Series II pin and sleeve, 20 to 100 A at 125 to 480 V, UL Listed and CSA Certified together, built in Somerset, New Jersey.
The machine splits here
Procon rectangular connectors carry power and control through one hood. Mate the inserts, snap the hood, energize. Washdown versions to IP68, on the panel that gets sprayed every shift, and distribution assemblies with breaker protection built in so the outlets move with the layout instead of the conduit.
The heater relay that reports its own state
Solid state relays for ovens, fryers, sealing bars, reheat and CIP heaters, 4 to 125 A single and three phase, with relays and plug-on modules that report mains, load and protection status. Miniature Faston-terminal relays for the inside of a coffee machine or a vending cabinet. A broken element drops the load current and the relay flags it before a day of product is made wrong.
Power that lives in the wash zone
A 300 W AC/DC supply sealed to IP68, mounted where there is no enclosure to put it in, and the CMS family sealed to IP67 for the DC bus on a mobile unit. From the shop that builds 50 kW rail converters, with -40 to +70 C ranges available across the line.
Control it
Pumps, conveyors and the panel that runs them
Jaguar drives, including harsh-environment models built for vibration, contactors and motor control from compact to heavy frames, iSmart smart relays and XGB PLCs with license-free programming, iView HMIs on the door. UL-approved miniature circuit breakers, RCBOs and surge protection for the refrigeration and auxiliary circuits. Up to 5-year warranty on electromechanical components, same-day dispatch from US stock.
An operator terminal that takes the hose
A splash-water-protected terminal for the filling area: IP65, stainless housing with a glass pane, a membrane keypad with a trackball, connections routed to floor level so the rating survives foaming agent and the pressure washer. Glass keyboards to IP68 that wipe clean, and an optical switch that is never touched at all.
Prove it
Which start sets the peak
PM17x PRO on the service records demand the way the tariff bills it and stamps every event to 1 microsecond, so the compressor start that landed on the peak is a line in a log, not an argument. Demand is set in minutes and paid all month; seeing which minutes is the first step to moving them.
Cost by process area, not by plant
BFM-II meters up to 54 single-phase or 18 three-phase circuits from one DIN-rail unit, against two voltage sources. Ovens, chillers, compressed air and each line get their own kWh, so a run has a cost and the off weeks have a number.
Read the line without opening it
Remote I/O picks up states, counts and temperatures at the sensor and presents them as Modbus TCP devices your own software polls; RTD and thermocouple modules put oven and cooler temperatures on the same network. The qualified controller is never touched, so what was validated stays validated.
The old line already has the port
The machine that only has an RS-232 or RS-485 port goes on the network through it, and the plant PC still sees the same COM port. Nothing in the software changes, which is where these projects usually die. Compact unmanaged and PoE switches on the DIN rail carry the new drops from inside the panel you have.
Foundation
Cable entry in the hygienic zone
KES entries in signal blue with an elastomer built to FDA food-contact requirements, a flat visible face with no dirt pockets, up to 32 conductors sealed to IP66. A lower-cost alternative to stainless glands in the washdown zone; KDS split entries for the pre-terminated cables on the rest of the machine.
Junction boxes built for outside
COMBI junction boxes to IP66, UV and ozone resistant, quarter-turn lids, membrane entries that need no locknut, for the compressor room, the yard and the dock. Glands, venting and the Brace conduit system around them, from a company that started on ships in 1919.
