Designed to repel dirt and be cleaned in place, JW Winco's GN 1150 Hygienic Design latches support the machine and system cleaning concept known as clean in place, or CIP for short.
These cam latches are comprised of stainless steel with special FDA-compliant seals of EPDM and TPU, leaving no dead spaces for dirt to collect. When the latch arm is turned 90 degrees, its beveled surfaces produce a tension that reliably presses covers, hatches, doors, or covers against their opposing element (frame or body). The rotational movement is achieved with a simple blue plastic key featuring a socket with two wrench surfaces, which is available as an accessory under the designation GN 1151. Additional drive types are currently in development.
The standard part GN 1150 is available in two versions: The "front hygiene" version (FH) offers the HD standard on the actuation side, while the inside satisfies the typical requirements. The “full hygiene” design (VH) features additional seals for HD quality, even on the latch arm side.
