ADAPTAFLEX® FLEXIBLE METALLIC CONDUIT SYSTEMS

— Markets Food, pharma and chemical

ABB Anti-microbial conduit systems are designed to protect complex processing equipment with sensitive electrical wiring systems, controls and automation. These solutions enable processors to increase revenue, plant sustainability, safety and brand equity.

Given the volume of mechanical process equipment involved in the food, pharma and chemical industries, combined with the shift towards increased automation through conveyor and feeder systems, there are often thousands of power and data cables that need to be protected. However, cable protection systems like conduits and fittings, can in themselves become a home for bacteria and pose a potential threat to safe processing. The solution created with technology partner BioCote, is to integrate anti-microbial protection in to a new generation of liquidtight conduit. Featuring a smooth, FDA, EC and FSA compliant DuPont Hytrel® thermoplastic jacket, the conduit is complimented by an industry first, single piece liquidtight 316 stainless steel fitting. The new system poses a viable alternative to other types of conduit systems and is perfectly suited for the protection of processing equipment and surrounding process areas.
