A completely sealed, 19” stand-alone, stainless steel, “hygienic design”, indus-trial PC for challenging environments in food processing

noax Technologies is introducing a new, completely sealed, 19” stainless steel, industrial PC for challenging environments in the food industry. The uniqueness of the new 19” stand-alone, industrial PC, in a V2A (304) stainless steel en-closure, is its completely enclosed “hygienic de-sign” construction. It has a totally smooth surface without edges that collect dirt, designed ac-cording to safety standard IP65 (NEMA 4X). This allows the touch-IPC, having the production designation “S19 Premium Line”, to be easily cleaned and disinfected.

noax Technologies, specializing in rugged and reliable, industrial PCS, is expanding the industrial “Steel” family PC’s product portfolio with a new industrial PC. In addition to the 12” and 15” stainless steel computers, a 19” unit, for extensive process-visualization of tasks, is now avail-able.

The new, 19” stainless steel “19 Premium Line” computer has a number of important product innovations. The terminal sets itself apart by having a polished V2A 1.4031 (304) stainless steel enclosure, with totally smooth surfaces. Enclosures are also available with V4A stainless steel. With the newly designed hygienic, plastic front, the “S19 Premium Line” has no gaps or joints between the enclosure and the touch display, and thus conforms to even the most stringent hygiene requirements, as they exist in food processing. Due to its enclosed construction without ventilation slots or external fans, the IPC is completely splash proof and qualifies for safety class IP65 (NEMA 4X). It is standard that the computer includes a high-contrast and very durable 19” industrial TFT display, which has a resolution of 1280 x 1024 SXGA, ensuring good legibility under even the worst conditions. The integrated, resistive analog touch panel, with hardened plastic surface assures simple operation. When the PCs are continuously used in locations having harsh environments, such as exposure to acid or caustics, touch-sensitive, adhesive safety film can be added. Other user-friendly features are the 20 integrated, freely programmable keys, and function keys in combination with LEDs for on/off, brightness and contrast settings, or for operating status.
