Engineered for Ultra-Hygienic Environments
Our Hygienic Star Knob is specifically designed for the food, beverage, and pharmaceutical industries, where hygiene is a critical component of equipment uptime. By eliminating open threads and sharp corners, this knob removes potential "dead zones" where organic matter and bacteria can accumulate.Our Hygienic Star Knob is specifically designed for the food, beverage, and pharmaceutical industries, where hygiene is a critical component of equipment uptime.

Technical Features & Benefits
Superior Corrosion Resistance: Precision-machined from AISI 316L (1.4404) stainless steel. This high-grade material ensures maximum durability against the aggressive chemicals and salts used in high-pressure washdown procedures.Superior Corrosion Resistance: Precision-machined from AISI 316L (1.4404) stainless steel.

Optimized Surface Quality: All functional surfaces are polished to a roughness of $Ra < 0.8 \mu m$. This smooth finish prevents microbial adhesion and simplifies the cleaning process, directly supporting your HACCP and EHEDG compliance goals.Optimized Surface Quality: All functional surfaces are polished to a roughness of $Ra < 0.8 \mu m$.

Visible Safety Seal: Features a high-visibility Blue HNBR (or Silicone) sealing ring. The blue color is an industry standard for foreign body detection, ensuring that any seal wear is immediately visible to optical sensors or quality inspectors.Visible Safety Seal: Features a high-visibility Blue HNBR (or Silicone) sealing ring.
