Protect critical electrical equipment with easy-to-clean, washdown-ready enclosures to preserve sanitary conditions and keep products safe

Food and Beverage manufacturers must deploy advanced sanitary solutions to ensure the health and safety of consumers worldwide and to protect their businesses from costly downtime and recalls. Among the crucial pieces of equipment in any food manufacturing plant are electrical enclosures, which play a vital role in maintaining these high standards of hygiene.
nVent HOFFMAN hygienic design enclosures and accessories are specially engineered for Food and Beverage applications and other sanitary environments. Our comprehensive range of hygienic design products helps preserve sanitary conditions and protect critical electrical equipment, even in the most challenging food manufacturing environments. 

Engineered for ultimate protection

Hygienic design enclosures are designed to withstand washdown cleaning procedures, enabling quicker and easier cleaning and sanitization. They help keep products in food manufacturing and other highly regulated environments free of microbiological, chemical and foreign particles, preventing contamination.
✔ Minimize hygiene risks – Self-draining, smooth-finished surfaces and gap-free designs reduce maintenance costs and delays. 
✔ Prevent intrusion of water and dust– Effective during high-pressure and high-temperature cleaning, protecting internal components and maximizing uptime.
✔ Feature durable gaskets – FDA-approved blue silicone gaskets resist aggressive cleaning products and are easy to remove, replace and maintain.
