oremost Electronics, the engineering-led Essex based importer and specialist distributor of electromechanical components,
announces the availability of the new icotek KEL- DPZ-HD which has been specially developed for the use in the food and pharmaceutical industries. Working within the Hygienic Design (EHEDG) guidelines, icotek has taken great care to make the surface very smooth, avoiding any dirt- collecting recesses on the visible side. The outer contour radius of 6mm, rather than the required minimum of 3mm, exceeds the EHEDG specifications. The KEL-DPZ-HD uses an FDA- compliant material in accordance with food approval 1935/2004 / EG and (EU) 10/2011. The new KEL-DPZ-HD are manufactured in the signal colour blue, providing users with clear visual colour recognition, and are free of halogen and silicone. They have high resistance to aromatic solvents, oils, greases and mineral products, and are corrosion proof and maintenance free. Cables and hoses with a diameter range
from 3.2mm to 22.2mm are routed and sealed to IP65/66/67/68. Depending on the version, up to 35 cables can be routed. The clamping area has a flexibility of up to 7mm and offers flexible options even during the assembly. The plates are initially available with a metric thread in sizes M32, M40, M50 and M63. A major advantage over conventional cable glands is the significantly greater packing density. Fixing the cable entry

plate with a lock nut is also an option. To complete its Hygienic Design System,
icotek developed detectable KB-HDD cable ties and KBH-HDD cable tie holders. icotek also offers ST-B-HD plugs to provide a detachable version, in order to seal any pierced cable entry membranes which are no longer in use. Alan Vincent, sales director of Foremost,
