- Hygienic construction
- Food-grade suitability
- Long operational life
- Chemical resistance
- Reduced maintenance requirements
- High mechanical strength
The Type C and Type E camlock configuration provides fast connection and disconnection without specialist tools, significantly reducing downtime during installation and operation.
