T
he ‘Hygienic Product Range Brochure’ showcases Flexicon’s cable protection products that allow efficient cleaning
while providing system integrity in hygienic applications. It also highlights the company’s new range of stainless steel 316 round connection boxes, incorporating hygienic design principals and offering a range of interconnection options. Flexicon’s hygienic range protects against the build-up of microbes and bacteria and also ensures that cleaning processes do not damage or compromise equipment operation. Manufactured in accordance with EN1672-2 and EN ISO14159, the range offers high tensile strength – 70kg for LPC conduit and fitting, 130kg for LTP conduit and fitting – and is resistant to chemical and cleaning agents.
The range consists of both metallic and non-metallic systems, with IP ratings of IP66, IP67, IP68 and IP69. All hygienic range solutions enjoy excellent corrosion
resistance and feature an integrated barrier seal to prevent contamination or ingress. “Cleaning regimes are an important and essential process to ensure the safety and quality of a company’s output and goods,” says Tim Creedon, sales & marketing director for Flexicon. “However, while machinery is being cleaned or maintained, production to service output is zero. “With this in mind, it is clear that cleaning time should be swift and effective, without compromising product safety and quality. Flexicon therefore offers a wide variety of solutions to facilitate this, ensuring critical power and data cabling in hygienic environments are well protected. “These solutions are displayed in this
new brochure, which we are confident will provide specifiers, contractors and installers with the best possible guidance for specifying, procuring and providing innovative and reliable cable protection solutions for hygienic environments.” Flexicon specialises in cable protection

The 135km long HV cable system will be laid at depths of up to 950 metres
P
rysmian Group has been awarded a new contract, worth €125 million, for an interconnection between the
island of Crete and mainland Greece (Peloponnese region). The project was awarded by IPTO (Independent Power Transmission Operator), which operates the transmission system for Greece’s power grid.
The contract will be finalised within 2018, following the customary approvals from the authorities involved. The project is the first submarine electricity interconnection between the Greek island and the mainland and involves the design, supply, installation and commissioning of an HVAC (High Voltage Alternating Current) cable system composed of 150 kV three core cables with XLPE insulation and double-wire armouring. The route extends to 135 km, reaching depth of installation up to 950 metres. The submarine cables will be produced at the plant in Arco Felice (Naples) and will be

installed at sea by the vessel Giulio Verne, which forms part of the Group’s proprietary fleet and is among the most technologically advanced in the world. Delivery and commissioning are scheduled for 2020. This new project, which follows the contract signed in 2014 with IPTO for the submarine connection between the island of Syros (Cyclades) and the Lavrion energy transmission system, in the Greek mainland, confirms the Group’s role and commitment as a key player in submarine connections in Europe, and in particular in the Mediterranean area, where Prysmian was recently awarded a contract for two interconnections between the Cyclades islands of Evia, Andros and Tinos, also commissioned by IPTO. In the Mediterranean region, the Group
has a strong track record of important submarine connections, including Italy- Greece, Sardinia-Italian Peninsula (
SA.PE.I), two interconnections between Spain and Morocco, two projects in the Balearic
