Optimisation of Electrical Enclosures in Kalt Cheese Production Machinery

Kalt is a Swiss company that some time ago faced a crucial challenge: improving the hygienic design and quality of control cabinets used in cheese production.

With over sixty years of experience in the production of high-quality cheese making machines, Kalt needed advanced solutions to further optimise its operations.

After a careful process of evaluating and comparing the options available on the market, Kalt chose to partner with IRINOX, a recognised leader in specialised stainless steel electrical enclosures for the food industry.

The IRINOX solution: stainless steel control cabinets with AS.HY hygienic certification

IRINOX has distinguished itself by its ability to provide tailor-made solutions perfectly adapted to Kalt's specific cheese production needs.

In particular, IRINOX proposed the use of AS.HY hygienic certified control cabinets, featuring an external, removable blue silicone seal (FDA approved), which offers superior protection against dust and water.

This solution has ensured a cleaner and safer working environment for cheese production.

The IRINOX solution: an ergonomic operating panel

The collaboration with IRINOX was characterised by its flexibility, allowing for the development of customised solutions adaptable to Kalt's specific needs.

In addition to standard versions of the control cabinets, IRINOX offered a wide range of design options to ensure seamless integration with existing machines.

IRINOX did not limit itself to just supplying the control cabinets, but also designed and installed an ergonomic operating panel with an arm that further improved the usability of Kalt's cheese production machines.

The AS.HY hygienic compact cabinet

The AS.HY hygienic compact cabinet made of AISI 304L stainless steel is specially designed for sectors where hygiene must come first, such as the food and pharmaceutical industries. With this in mind, it consists of a single body with welded sides and is equipped with:

  • 30° sloping top;
  • Smooth, crack-free back, with no concave corners to facilitate cleaning and avoid deposits;
  • Drip-proof inner edge;
  • Internal hinges;
  • State-of-the-art hygienic stainless steel locks with external seal and internal rod locking system;
  • Optional hygienic frame or lower cable base, both with hygienic certified feet.
