Stainless Steel IP69K Push Button Stations

The food and beverage industries can be challenging for even the most robust push buttons stations where high-pressure and caustic wash-downs can cause downtime. 

Responding to this challenge, Routeco introduces IP69K rated push button station solutions designed to:

• Minimise production loss due to cleaning procedures
• Minimise frequent replacement due to corrosion
• Minimise bacteria growth potential from crevices
• Provide UL Certified products for industrial panels

The Rockwell Automation 22.5mm push buttons represent an innovative rethinking of push button technology and its industrial applications. They use a potted piezoelectric circuit in an SAE grade 316 stainless-steel body and achieve an IP69K rating. The piezoelectric circuit detects pressure on the surface of the button to provide a momentary actuation signal with no moving parts. A smooth, crevice-free button surface is the result.

800K buttons are available in illuminated and non-illuminated versions. The illuminated buttons use a translucent light pipe to bring the red, green or white LED illumination to a ring on the crevice-free operating surface. Red illuminated buttons have a single normally-closed circuit while all other models are provided with a single normally-open circuit. The momentary contacts can be directly connected to a programmable controller or with an appropriate interposing relay.

Push Button Station Features and Benefits

IP69K Rating

• Protected against close-range high pressure, high temperature caustic wash
• Ideal for food, beverage, pharmaceutical and similar application environments

316 Stainless-steel Push Buttons

• Corrosion resistant to caustic wash-down solutions

Smooth, Crevice-free Enclosure and Push Button Surfaces

• Easier to clean 
• Minimizes areas in which contaminates can potentially be lodged 

No Moving Parts

• By using piezoelectric technology, moving seals and crevices can be eliminated from the push buttons, avoiding potential sources for failure

Potted Circuits

• Helps prevent fluids from corroding operator components
• Provides an additional barrier of protection

Custom Laser Push Button Engraving

• Avoids potentially contaminate trapping legend plates
• Provides flexibility to address a wide range of applications

New Safe-Test Point from Grace Engineered Products

Electrical safety is made safer with Grace Engineered Products.The new Safe-Test Point™ is a Permanent Electrical Safety Device (PESD) that allows qualified personnel to safely verify presence or absence of voltage. This high impedance protected device provides the capability to measure voltage from outside the enclosure, minimizing risk of arc flash and shock hazard. Through at closed-door metered test, workers can quickly and accurately perform routine tasks while feeling confidently safe.

Safe-Test Point features:

• A Permanent Electrical Safety Device (PESD) that allows workers a safer way to verify presence or absence of voltage from outside the electrical cabinet
• The Safe-Test Point contains four test points that are hardwired directly to energy sources and allows measurement of both AC and DC voltages by inserting the insulated meter probes into any two test point  sockets to take a voltage reading
• Provides a safer and more productive method of performing Lockout / Tagout (LOTO) procedures
• It comes complete with a tool-entry dust cap and label.

Safe-Test Point can be mounted on the side of the enclosure, door or flange and provides four test points to allow measurement of AC/DC voltages either phase or phase to ground. For more information, please email sales@routeco.nl
