Ganter sets the standard with the standard parts of the Hygienic Design line, and this goes well beyond the hygiene-optimized design of production systems in the food sector. It can also make sense – and save money – to use these parts in other areas. This is because cleaning in general is simplified by the surface quality of the stainless steel elements, their special design with inclined surfaces and seals, and the resulting lack of dead spaces. The need for aggressive cleaning media is eliminated, and valuable time and energy are saved.
It all began with the stainless steel leveling feet GN 20 with turned foot plate and firmly vulcanized bottom surface and spindle seals. Designed with mounting holes, these leveling feet satisfy the requirements of EHEDG, the 3-A Sanitary Standard and the DGUV testing principles.
The alternative model GN 19 is designed for lower loads, covers the same range of applications (except for floor mounting) and also complies with the 3-A Sanitary Standard and the DGUV testing principles. The foot plate is deep-drawn from stainless steel AISI 316L sheet rather
than machined, and it is lined on the bottom with blue silicone elastomer. As a result, this part also forms a tight seal against the floor. The deep-drawn sheet metal foot offers a cost advantage over the GN 20 leveling foot.
New to the lineup are the two leveling feet GN 17 and GN 18. While they don’t meet Ganter’s strict Hygienic Design requirements, they still utilize FDA-compliant materials and satisfy the requirements of EU 1935-2004.
