Protecting electronics from harsh washdowns and contaminants is essential in food and beverage manufacturing. Integra’s watertight enclosures shield sensitive equipment from food acids and strong chemical solutions.
Stainless steel is used in processing machinery for its strength, corrosion resistance, and ability to withstand the high heat and humidity in food processing applications.
NEMA 4X stainless steel enclosures are ideal for food production and packaging because the material is non-porous, repels bacteria, and is easy to clean. The NEMA 4X rating ensures a dust-tight and water-tight seal, protecting internal components from particles and high-pressure washdowns.
Integra’s stainless steel enclosures feature a 0.34” return flange for a wide sealing face and a drainage channel to direct water from the opening. Concealed hinges, smooth edges, and flush door latches create a seamless surface with minimal areas for bacteria to hide.
Because our enclosures meet NEMA 4X standards, they can be used for a wide range of food production and packaging applications including
We create custom sizes and configurations for your application. We offer a wide range of modifications, including machined holes for push buttons, disconnects, and cables, plus add-ons like cord grips, gland plates, and windows.
Interchangeable gland plates allow the same enclosure base to be used for multiple hole patterns, maintaining the NEMA 4X watertight seal.
Our NEMA 4X rated windows, available in exterior or flush-mounted options, provide access to controls without sacrificing protection from washdowns and harsh chemicals.

A NEMA 4X rating ensures protection against corrosion and hose-directed water. The IP69K rating is a specific international standard for protection against close-range, high-pressure, and high-temperature water jets used in intensive steam-cleaning. We can provide an enclosure that meets the exact rating your application requires.
The grade of stainless steel is critical. We use Type 304 stainless steel for its excellent corrosion resistance in most food production environments. For applications with higher salinity or exposure to aggressive cleaning agents, we offer Type 316L stainless steel for superior protection.
Our hygienic design eliminates areas where bacteria can grow. Features like concealed hinges, a sloped top option for water runoff, smooth surfaces, and flush latches create a seamless exterior that is easy to clean. The polyurethane gasket provides a secure, contaminant-proof seal.
