The IP69K rating provides protection against ingress of dust and high temperature, high-pressure water – making products with this rating ideal for use in conditions where equipment must be carefully sanitised.

In industries such as food processing, where hygiene and cleanliness are paramount, equipment must be able to withstand rigorous high pressure, high-temperature wash-down procedures.

Whilst IP69K rated gear motors have a higher initial purchase price than a standard unit, their ability to withstand wash-down procedures will mean they last much longer, giving the end-user long term benefits as well as a much-improved level of application hygiene.
