icotek offers a complete range of divisible cable entry strips, divisible cable glands and membrane cable entry supports for various applications in process and packaging technology, as well as in filling systems. These solutions allow cables, pneumatic hoses and cables with connectors to be routed quickly, cleanly and in accordance with standards through electrical panels, on-machine panels or machine walls, even in production areas with high hygiene requirements. Depending on the product, a high degree of protection and tensile strength certified according to EN 62444 can be guaranteed.

These are the main applications of the range:

• routing of motor, control and communication cables inside the main electrical panel or in the panels installed along the transport lines;
• routing of pneumatic tubes for valve assemblies installed in an electrical panel or directly on the machine;
• routing of control and power cables for material handling systems;
• cable routing and tensile strength for cable chains.

A major advantage is the speed and simplicity of assembly: many products can be installed without assembling the different parts. This saves time during the initial installation, simplifies maintenance and reduces machine downtime. This is particularly important for cables with connectors, as there is no need to rewire.

For use in production environments where hygiene is paramount, icotek offers products with the necessary certifications and material properties. These include protection ratings up to IP66/IP68, UL certifications, UV resistance in accordance with ISO 4892-2A, hygienic design and compliance with specific material regulations such as FDA, Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004 and Regulation (EU) No 10/2011. This makes the components suitable for applications where the IP protection rating, ease of cleaning and resistance to various chemicals and cleaning agents are crucial.

For applications involving pneumatic or hydraulic hoses, icotek offers membrane cable glands with a particularly smooth surface. These enable cables and hoses to be routed safely with a high degree of protection up to IP66/IP68 and UL Type 4X. In the food industry, FDA-compliant materials are particularly important to prevent contamination in the event of accidental contact with food. A smooth, crack-free surface is also very important to minimise deposits and facilitate the cleaning process.

The product range is fully compatible with standard industrial connector sizes and metric sizes from M16 to M85. This ensures that the products can be easily integrated into existing machinery and new systems.
