PMA® FOOD & BEVERAGE SOLUTIONS

Flexibility and cleanability. The IP69-rated PMA cable protection range for the food and beverage industry offers a choice of  two high specification fittings and a conduit, overextruded with a smooth, extremely easy-to-clean coating.

KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS

<p>ABB's PMA food and beverage cable protection system is built for environments where hygiene and cleanability are critical, combining IP69-rated conduits and fittings designed to withstand rigorous wash-down and chemical disinfection processes.</p>

Easy to clean

<p>Smooth, non-porous over-extruded outer layer on JFBD conduit validated through the Riboflavin test enables fast and effective cleaning during high-pressure washdowns, reducing downtime between production cycles</p>

Chemical-resistant

<p>High resistance to aggressive cleaning agents and disinfectants, certified to ECOLAB standards, for sustained performance across daily chemical washdown cycles</p>

Protection

<p>IP69 system protection across JFBD conduit with both JENQ and JKNH fittings ensures full ingress protection against high-pressure water jets, dust and liquid in splash zone environments</p>

Flexible

<p>Outstanding flexibility combined with tight bending radii and high reversed bending stress resistance supports use in dynamic applications including robotics, conveyor systems and pick and place equipment</p>

Easy installation

<p>JKNH nylon fitting installs with a push-in assembly requiring no tools, while the single-piece JENQ stainless steel design simplifies assembly and reduces the number of components to manage on site</p>

Durable

<p>JFBD conduit is manufactured from specially formulated polyamide 12 with a temperature range of -20°C to +95°C continuous and up to +120°C short-term for reliable long-term performance in food processing environments</p>

Compliant

<p>Certifications include IP69 per EN 60529, NSF 14159-1, NSF 169, FDA 21 CFR, EU 10/2011, UL 1696, ECOLAB and CE</p>
