Elesa+Ganter GN 7600 sealing rings in H-NBR or in EPDM. The rubber seal prevents bacteria from accumulating. The hygienic design facilitates cleaning, so that the accumulation of dirt is minimized.

H-NBR (hydrogenated acrylonitrile butadiene rubber):
– blue
– temperature range -25 °C til +150 °C
– FDA compliant
– Hardnesss 85 ±5 Shore A 85

EPDM (ethylene propylene diene rubber)
– blue
– temperature range -40 °C til +120 °C
– FDA compliant
– Hardness 85 ±5 Shore A 85

Please note that the GN 7600 can only be used together with other products from the HD series.

The HD series includes a wide selection of bolts and nuts designed with the blue o-ring that prevents bacteria from accumulating. See e.g.

• GN 20.1 cover sleeves
• GN 1580 hygiejnic nut
• GN 1580 hygiejnic screw
• GN 1581 hygiejnic screw

GN 6226 Stainless steel spacers are used as a joint between two surfaces, suitable for use in hygienic areas. The spacer can be used together with sealing ring GN 7600.

Elesa+Ganter GN 8170 indexing plungers where a ring between the pin and handlebar keeps the mechanics sealed. The high surface quality and the locking mechanism minimize dirt sticking, which make cleaning easier.

The indexing plungers are available in typs FH and VH:
Type FH is for use in areas with hygiene requirements for the parts of the indexing plunger that are touched during operation.
Type VH is for use where the entire indexing plunger is subject to hygienic requirements.

The difference between the two types is that the VH type has an extra blue o-ring down by the pin that closes tightly and ensures that dirt does not get into the bolt.

Knobs and handles are typical items with a lot of contact, and thus a high risk of bacteria. The HD series also includes various types of knobs and handles.

• GN 429 U-handle
• GN 305 adjustable hand lever
• GN 5435 star knob
• GN 75.6 knob

The HD series also offers locking elements in a hygienic design that facilitates cleaning, so that the accumulation of dirt on the lock is minimized. FH = hygienic design on the front of the locking element. VH = hygienic design on the front and back of the locking element.

GN 1050-FH Hygienic Lock FH = hygienic design on the front of the locking element.
GN 1150-VH Hygienic Lock VH = hygienic design on the front and back of the locking element.

Elesa+Ganter has wide range of products that are suitable for use in industries with high requirements for hygiene and cleaning.

The CLEAN series are standard elements that are specially designed to meet strict hygiene requirements. The elements include handles, grips and finger knobs in the color white RAL 9002 with a glossy finish to make cleaning easier.

The MD series are standard elements in visually metal detectable material. The special technopolymer contains additives, it ensures that each fragment can be quickly identified by a standard metal detector along the production line. Furthermore, just like the VD series, the elements are produced in a blue, easily visible colour, which makes it easy to see if accidental contamination occurs in production. All this makes these elements particularly suitable for food and pharmaceutical production.
