Eldon stainless steel enclosures for dairy applications

October 2013 Enclosures, Cabling & Connectors

C van ’t Riet has won wide acclaim for delivering innovative dairy and food processing equipment designed for high reliability and low-cost maintenance. The Dutch based company’s customised machines and turnkey concepts are used globally by customers for a variety of dairy and food processing uses, including products such as cheese, yoghurt, butter and milk.

Eldon’s 90 years’ experience of making electrical enclosures for use across the industrial spectrum made the company a natural choice when C van ’t Riet needed a like-minded, flexible supplier of user-friendly stainless steel enclosures. The relationship has proven a milestone for the company’s efforts to deliver customised dairy equipment that blends craftsmanship with advanced technologies to meet all the latest market requirements.

Eldon provides stainless steel single door enclosures, with an IP66 and 240s pre grained stainless steel finish, for mounting in dairy machines producing curd, butter, milk pasteurisation and other dairy products. It is the challenging environments with very high demands on hygienic processing, cleanliness and high ingress protection, which have made Eldon’s ASR range of stainless steel enclosures a sought after product.

One of the most creative projects undertaken by the pair is a small-scale cheese-blending machine designed to help developing countries start their own dairy production operations. The project promises to have a big impact on Africa by creating better, more hygienic nutrition as it offers small villages an easy solution to pasteurise milk without any technological knowhow.
