In order to produce flawless food and medicines, high standards of hygiene must be maintained. The Hygienic Front Panel in stainless steel meets all requirements for use in hygienically demanding areas and is therefore perfectly suited for the food and pharmaceutical industry.
The well thought-out design of the Hygienic Front Panel, with its bevelled, smooth surfaces and rounded edges, allows liquids to flow freely and prevents dirt and bacteria from settling.
Stainless steel Front Panel in numerous display sizes
The Hygienic Front Panel is available in numerous display diagonals from 7-18.5 inches with different resolutions up to FullHD.
Our Hygienic Front Panels are equipped with IP69 protection on the front as standard and are therefore completely protected against the ingress of dust and moisture. The well thought-out Hygienic Design of the Touch Panel makes it particularly easy to clean. The use of stainless steel also allows the use of harsh cleaning agents and disinfectants.
The touch panel is inserted from the front into the recess provided for this purpose. The stainless steel frame provides the panel with ideal protection against mechanical loads. With the splinter protection foil which is glued on as standard, we ensure that the products are manufactured safely and cannot be contaminated.
The front panel is equipped with multi-touch functionality as standard. The panel can be operated with up to 10 fingers and thus enables a high level of user intuitiveness. Gestures such as pulling, zooming or wiping are no problem. Operation with gloves is also possible. For this purpose the touch is calibrated accordingly.

IP69 protection for hygienic installation
The front panel is attached from behind with the help of retaining clips. The pressure pins fix the device to the frame of the control cabinet or the housing recess. Protection class IP69 is achieved through the use of hygienic seals. It is important that the back is not completely covered so that sufficient air circulation can be ensured. Our touch panels are fanless, the heat is dissipated via the housing.
