To avoid critical points along the production line, it is necessary to rely on electrical enclosures designed for high hygienic standards, made of AISI 304L or 316L stainless steel, such as those of the IRINOX Hygienic Line.
In food & beverage production environments, every element installed near the working lines must prevent microbiological contamination and facilitate sanitization. The EHEDG (European Hygienic Engineering and Design Group) regulations and the HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) self-monitoring system impose clear requirements:
Standard electrical enclosures, often made of painted sheet metal or unsuitable steel, do not meet these conditions, putting the entire production process and the manufacturer's reputation at risk.
Stainless steel is the material of choice for hygienic applications. IRINOX uses AISI 304L and 316L stainless steel, materials that:
The choice between 304L and 316L depends on the level of aggressiveness of the installation environment: 316L is recommended in the presence of chlorinated or saline substances (e.g., fish, dairy, and meat industries).
Materials such as painted sheet metal and plastic polymers are widely used in industry, but are not compatible with the hygiene and sanitation requirements of the food industry:
The result? Risk of contamination, non-compliance with regulations, and failure to pass audits.
To provide concrete support to companies in the food & beverage industry, IRINOX has developed a dedicated line:
Designed in compliance with EHEDG guidelines, with models also equipped with DGUV hygiene certification, the IRINOX hygienic line stands out for:
We have been working for years with manufacturers of machinery and processing lines for food, beverages, dairy products, and processed products.

Choosing the right electrical enclosure is not a matter of aesthetics, but a fundamental technical and regulatory choice. Relying on stainless steel solutions designed for food environments means guaranteeing hygiene, safety and durability over time, protecting production, consumers and the company.
