OKI Electric Cable introduces fluid-resistant cable for food processing equipment
Traditional cables found in food manufacturing equipment tend to deteriorate over time due to a variety of reasons. As there are strict hygiene standards to be followed in the industry, machinery are regularly disinfected and sanitised often through rigorous means. Contact with detergents, disinfectants and hot fluids can lead to cracked surfaces on the cables and decreased tensile strength. This leads to poor insulation performance and eventually equipment failure. To provide a solution to … [Read more...] about OKI Electric Cable introduces fluid-resistant cable for food processing equipment
