Interlocking in Hygienic and Wash-Down Environments

The Fortress Hygienic Guard Lock (HGL) is designed for controlled access in environments where caustic wash down processes are commonplace, and bacteria growth must be circumvented to guarantee contamination free interlocking. The HGL has an open design to maximize access for cleaning and minimize bacterial growth locations. The IP67 & IP69 sealing in addition to FDA & USDA approved PBT (Polybutylene Terephthalate) interfaces between stainless steel components, have been carefully selected with open plant cleaning and CIP (Clean in Place) in mind.
