Stainless Steel Panel PCs & IP69K Washdown Computers · CleanOps^™

IP65 is dust-tight and splash-proof, handling the occasional splash and alcohol wipe, suitable for inspection areas and office-production boundaries. IP69K is the highest washdown rating, withstanding 80°C high-temperature water at 80-100 bar high pressure, matching food / pharma CIP / SIP in-line cleaning processes. If your workstation undergoes daily washdown, high-pressure water cleaning or foam cleaning → IP69K is required (CleanOps G/S series); if only occasional alcohol wiping → IP65 (L series) is enough.

304 contains 18% chromium + 8% nickel and is the most common food-grade stainless steel, with good value. 316 adds 2% molybdenum on top of 304 for markedly better corrosion resistance, with stronger tolerance to salt, acids/alkalis and chloride environments. 316 is recommended for dairy / beverage production lines (frequent contact with cleaning agents), while 304 is sufficient for general clean areas. The CleanOps G series uses 316 and the S series front bezel uses 304.

Yes. CESIPC offers complete OEM / ODM services, customizable to your needs: (1) stainless steel logo etching; (2) interface configuration (adjusting COM / USB / LAN quantities); (3) I/O shielding / isolation design; (4) CPU platform upgrades; (5) touch-glass printing; (6) whole-unit white-label packaging. Small minimum orders (5-50 units for trial production) and long-term supply commitments (3-5 years).

IP69K testing follows the ISO 20653 / IEC 60529 standards: the device is placed on a rotating test stand (5 rpm) and sprayed with 80°C hot water at 80-100 bar pressure and 14-16 L/min flow, from 4 angles (0°, 30°, 60°, 90°) for 30 seconds each, at a distance of 100-150 mm. Passing means the device can withstand CIP in-line cleaning. The CleanOps G series is IP69K for the whole unit; the S series is IP69K on the front panel.

The food and pharma industries require production equipment to avoid right-angle gaps, surface recesses and countersunk screw holes — places where water droplets, cleaning agents and food residue can accumulate and breed bacteria or biofilm. CleanOps strictly follows EHEDG / 3-A hygienic design guidelines: all surfaces use ≥ 3 mm rounded transitions, smoothly welded and polished stainless steel, hygienic connectors instead of ordinary screws, and an enclosure with no exposed gaskets.

Both meet hygiene standards; the difference lies in mounting position and cleaning process. Embedded (S series) goes into the cabinet from behind with a front panel flush to the cabinet, making it better for cleanroom equipment main panels (cleaning staff only wipe the exposed front panel). Desktop / arm-mounted exposed (G series) has the whole unit exposed to washdown, making it better for washdown main production lines (the whole unit is rinsed during daily CIP). Choosing S or G depends on installation space and cleaning process.

CESIPC commits to 3-5 years of same-model long-term supply for the CleanOps series, and provides delivered-project customers with 12-month advance EOL notice + a replacement-model compatibility plan. This is especially important for food / pharma GMP projects — these have long validation cycles and cannot frequently change models.

A 4-step selection method:

1. Cleaning process: CIP / high-pressure water washdown → G series; alcohol wipe + foam cleaning → S series; occasional wiping → L series; dust only → E upgrade
2. Screen size: operator stations 10-15"; monitoring large displays 21-24"
3. CPU performance: HMI display J1900; data acquisition J6412; running an MES client i3-i5; vision processing i7
4. Interface needs: confirm COM count, USB, LAN and isolated I/O per process requirements
