The CL03 valve terminal system from Rexroth now has EHEDG certification

CL03

The food and beverage industry is an especially demanding sector with strict requirements on machinery equipment. Users need the best-possible components in their systems in order to optimize cleaning processes.

The CL03 valve terminal system has been especially developed in accordance with strict criteria for use in the food industry. It was awarded EHEDG certification in January 2010, making it the very first pneumatic component to achieve this distinction.

The CL03 valve terminal system's design and specific materials successfully withstood tests to measure resistance to the most-varied cleaning chemicals. The valve housing was designed in line with hygienic criteria to avoid joints, grooves, or gaps. Classified in the high protection class IP69K, this valve terminal system is ideal for cleaning at high pressure and at high temperatures. This helps to avoid dirt pockets and the associated contamination risks, making it perfect for areas that come into direct contact with food. The CL03 valve terminal system has a modular design and comes in many different variants, including field bus connection.

Cooperation with the EHEDG and certification of relevant products assures our customers that they are using hygienic components, enabling smooth manufacturing of food products. Compliance with EHEDG criteria is monitored annually by an institute authorized by the association. A hygienic component design is of the utmost importance to food industry customers.

The EHEDG (the European Hygienic Engineering & Design Group) is a consortium of experts in the fields of food industry, machine construction, and research that specifies criteria for the hygienic design of systems used in the production of food products. The association's main aim is to increase food safety by optimizing machines and systems.
