Detectable Blue Membrane Extends Command Device Range for Food & Beverage Industry
Excellent seal, hygiene-compliant and easier to find...
Schmersal has extended its comprehensive range of command and alarm devices for the food industry by adding devices with a blue sealing membrane. This new blue sealing membrane means the N-range not only fulfils the requirements in terms of sealing and hygiene-compliance, it also meets the requirement of making foreign bodies in foods traceable using optical systems.

In order to meet this requirement, it is recommended to use the colour blue in the food industry – for example in the exposed seal – as no foodstuffs are naturally blue. This is why Schmersal has a whole range of new blue push-buttons, illuminated push-buttons, mushroom push-buttons (some of them illuminating), or emergency stop mushroom push-buttons which were previously only available with black or white sealing membranes. Of course, these N-range devices are made exclusively from food-compliant materials.
Developed Specifically for the Food Industry
The N - program was developed specifically for the food industry and other hygiene-sensitive applications. The product range consists of a large portfolio of command and signalling devices with a variety of accessories, all of which fulfil the principles of 'Hygienic Design'.
This means the operating devices are designed without corners and edges, so that no contamination can settle and also allows them to be cleaned easily. At the same time, they also have a long service life which is required by the IP69K protection rating, as this guarantees that they can withstand regular cleaning with a steam cleaner or high-pressure washer.
Also suitable for clean-room and food packaging applications
The command and signalling devices in the Schmersal N range are also suitable for use in production areas with the highest clean-room classification (air purity class 1 according to ISO 14644-1). They have also been tested by the food and packaging testing and certification body of the DGUV for suitability with hygiene-sensitive applications: these tests showed that the control devices could be used in meat loading and processing machines without posing any hygiene risks.
Features include;
- New ergonomic small mushroom shape
- Large button area for improved operation
- Design with or without illumination
- Improved protection of the sealing membrane against mechanical damage
- Hygiene-compliant construction
- IP69K protection rating
- High resistance to chemicals
- Long service life thanks to tough and trusted design
