MEET IP69K STANDARDS WITH BISON WASHDOWN PRODUCTS
Washdown Products Image

Washdown motors must meet ingress protection (IP) ratings that ensure they can survive and thrive in the type of cleaning processes that is needed. The IP code indicates how well a device is protected against water and dust. It is defined by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) under international standard IEC 60529, which classifies the degree of protection provided against intrusion, dust, and water..
