Hygienic Magnasafe safety switches from Mechan Controls

The Magnasafe hygienic range are magnetically operated safety switches. Easy to install and maintain, both switch and actuator are fully sealed to IP69K making them suitable for high pressure and chemical wash downs that hygienic environments require.

Manufactured in a robust Ra0.4 polished 316 grade stainless steel housing that is designed to EHEDG guidelines, they can withstand CIP and SIP cleaning processes found in the food industry. This means that the Magnasafe safety switches can be used in almost any environment and be subjected to high levels of cleaning following contamination from foreign particles.

The Mechan hygienic range is designed to work with any safety relays on the market that have a low in-rush current on the switch inputs.

Available in a wide variety of sizes and contact configurations, cable lengths or quick disconnect options, Magnasafe hygienic switches are said to be suitable for most applications of machine guarding where guard locking is not required.

With today’s uncertainty within the market, Mechan says it understands the troubles that other manufacturers have, and has strived to keep costs down and to ensure quick delivery times to fulfil machine builders’ and end users’ needs.

Mechan designs and manufactures in in the UK a wide range of machine guard safety products to suit all applications from light curtain to locking units, as well as safety relays.
