SKINTOP ® INOX and SKINTOP ® HYGIENIC
Leading the way are our FSMA-compliant cable glands SKINTOP® INOX and SKINTOP®
HYGIENIC. These are compact, corrosion-resistant stainless steel cable glands that have
unique design features that prevent microorganisms and bacteria from sticking to surfaces.
Their smooth surfaces and large corner radii, as well as the lack of exposed threads, prevent
the accumulation of bacteria and fluids for the safest cleaning possible.
Both of these SKINTOP® products feature specially molded seals to eliminate any gaps
between components where bacteria can collect. Instead of the traditional hexagonal
capnut design, rounded edges and flat surfaces allow for the tightening of the gland without
the corners and grooves in which microbes could settle. SKINTOP® cable glands are also
compliant with industry standards for sanitary fabrication design.
Laboratory and workplace tested
In laboratory tests, SKINTOP® HYGIENIC and SKINTOP® INOX have been classified as
harmless in the production of food and beverages. HYGIENIC is built with FDA-approved
materials and both carry ECOLAB certification. They also passed a mechanical load test for
sealing ability and strain relief. With SKINTOP® glands, you can be assured of consistent,
durable and contaminant-free performance.
