Siemens HMI Stainless Steel Front Comfort Panels

Siemens SIMATIC HMI Comfort Panels with stainless steel fronts are specially designed for use in the food and beverage, pharmaceutical, cosmetics and fine chemical industries as well as other hygienic areas.  They feature the same functions as the standard Comfort Panels and fit into the same panel cutouts. 

The high quality requirements of the food and beverage industries necessitate a high standard of the food processing machinery. The essential issue in this case is that all facilities and components are easy to clean and disinfect, so that cross-contamination of food products can be avoided.

The panel's stainless steel front is ground with 240 grain and thus has a suitably smooth surface. The foil enclosing the display has been tested with respect to chemical stability; it minimizes grooves and gaps in which microorganisms can be deposited and in addition provides splinter protection for the display.

• Easy to clean due to resistant and strong stainless steel front with a smooth surface; grooves and gaps have been minimized
• High IP66K degree of protection on front for enhanced tightness and stability
• Food compatible gasket and splinter protection for the display to avoid contamination of foodstuffs 
• Optimized frame design with small protrusion over the cabinet for self-drainage of liquids
