Health and safety might only be the second most important aspect of food products for consumers, after flavor, but food quality is just as important. When it comes to ensuring food safety and avoiding potential food epidemics, strict standards are placed on plants and machinery, which HELUKABEL meets and exceeds with their products.
For the processing and packaging machinery used in the food and beverage industry, HELUKABEL also offers a wide range of control cables, power supply cables, glands, connectors and conduits. Each component is resistant to the range of chemical, thermal and physical stresses that lead to degradation, in order to deliver reliable, efficient performance. To maintain their cleanliness, these cables are resistant to all standard detergents used during the cleaning process.
To stay ahead of future customer demand, the cables mentioned below were tested in accordance with ECOLAB test PM 40-1, which requires cables to be completely immersed in the various cleaning/disinfecting substances for up to 28 days at constant room temperature. Upon completion, the test cables are then subjected to visual inspection to see if any swelling, brittleness or discoloring occurred.

Cables and wires in industrial robots and other moving machine parts are often required to withstand extreme stresses caused by torsion. Constant repetitive movements put materials under considerable strain. At the same time, operators expect components to function perfectly and reliably throughout their entire service life to avoid disruptions, outages and safety hazards.
For this reason, at HELUKABEL, we simulate intensive and continuous torsion stresses under realistic conditions with our high-tech testing equipment in Windsbach. We have several types of apparatus for doing this because some of our customers, for example those in the automotive industry, have very precise specifications for how a torsion test is carried out. The tests show that our cables and wires withstand speeds up to 1,000°/s, accelerations up to 2,000°/s² and torsion angles up to 720°. Hence, we make sure that each product always meets our customers’ high standards, and that they receive the impeccable quality they rightly expect from us as a leading supplier of cables, wires and accessories for more than 40 years.
