With a sanitary design, these threaded-hole knobs are often used to open and close doors and drawers on furniture, machines, and other equipment in pharmaceutical and food-processing facilities. They attach like most knobs in your kitchen—push a screw through the back of a hole and thread these knobs onto the front. The seal is blue, so it’s easily seen and removed if it falls into your line. It’s also FDA compliant for direct contact with food. Knobs have a 316 stainless steel body that resists corrosion from frequent washdowns with harsh cleaners. They’re highly polished with rounded edges and no horizontal ledges, leaving no room for bacteria to grow.

These handles are often used as grips on hand wheels or cranks to operate machinery around food processing lines without the risk of contaminating the food. They contain metal additives that will set off metal detectors if they—or any piece of them—fall into your line. They’re also bright blue, making them easy to spot. These handles help you comply with Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) programs for food safety. They’re also FDA compliant for direct contact with food.

Made of nylon, these handles resist wear and repel oil, grease, and solvents. Install them on a threaded stud.

Made of stainless steel with a nitrile mounting seal, these handles are suitable for food-processing applications involving frequent positioning, tightening, and holding adjustments. Lift the handle to rotate freely; then release the handle to engage and tighten. These handles are also known as clamping handles. They all have excellent corrosion resistance and good chemical resistance. They’re DGUV tested to meet European regulations for use with food.

Threaded-stud handles mount into a threaded hole.

Made for use in food processing facilities, these plastic knobs have a metal additive that sets off metal detectors if a piece breaks off into your line. They’re also bright blue, so it’s easy to find and retrieve loose pieces. They help you comply with Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) programs for keeping contaminated food from leaving your facility.

These knobs give you a secure grip to tighten, position, and hold components in place. Made from nylon, they’re wear resistant and won’t degrade from oil, grease, and solvents. They meet ISO 4753 standards for the ends of threaded parts, and they’re FDA compliant for direct food contact. Mount them into a threaded hole.

Designed for sanitary environments, these knobs are commonly used in pharmaceutical and food-processing facilities. Install them on threaded studs to position, tighten, and hold equipment. The Buna-N rubber seal keeps out contaminants and blocks unhygienic metal-to-metal contact. The seal is blue, making it easy to spot and remove if it falls into your line. It’s also FDA compliant for direct contact with food. These knobs have a 316 stainless steel body that resists corrosion from frequent washdowns with harsh cleaners. Highly polished, with rounded edges and no horizontal ledges, they have no crevices where bacteria can grow.

Mount these locks horizontally to the face of doors on refrigerators and industrial enclosures with the strike plate mounted on the frame. They're keyed alike, choose them if you need several locks that open with the same key.

Locks have an adjustable strike plate to compensate for changes in offset caused by sagging doors and worn or flattened gaskets. Door offset is the space between the door face and the frame when the door is closed.

Quickly align, join, or hold machine components in place in food, pharmaceutical, and other sanitary environments. Pulling the plunger knob and twisting it 90° will lock the nose into its retracted position. All of these plungers have a long nose that offers a large bearing surface to handle side loads. They’re often used for maintenance jobs.

Made of stainless steel, these plungers won’t corrode from frequent washdowns with harsh cleaners and sanitizers. All are self-draining with rounded edges and polished surfaces, so there are no crevices for bacteria to grow, reducing the chance of a foodborne illness. Seals block out water and keep contaminants from getting trapped in threads or grooves. They’re also bright blue, so you can easily spot broken pieces that fall into your line. The seals are FDA compliant for direct contact with food, but the lubricant is rated for incidental contact.

Spring plungers with a sealing nut can be held in place with the nut after threading them to your desired depth. The nut completely covers the threads and has two seals to block out water and other contaminants.

Extended nose force is the force required to begin to depress the nose. Compressed nose force is the force required to depress the nose flush with the body. When using a plunger as a detent or stop, a lighter nose force with a shallower hole releases more easily, while a heavier force with a deeper hole holds more securely.
