Rose Systemtechnik
Hygienic and certified support arm system
Machines and systems in the food industry are subject to strict hygiene requirements. The GT-HD support arm system, shown at SPS 2025, meets them: according to the manufacturer Rose Systemtechnik, its swivel joints are the first systems on the market to be hygiene-tested by the DGUV in Germany.
The GT-HD complies with the strict requirements of DIN EN 1672-2 and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the USA.
With the GT-HD, Rose Systemtechnik is expanding its stainless steel equipment carrier range with a particularly hygienic design. The equipment carrier was designed in accordance with the specifications of the EHEDG (European Hygienic Engineering & Design Group) and the EN ISO 14159 standard. The support arm system is high-pressure cleaner-resistant (IP69), can carry loads of up to 60 kg over 0.5 m and will be available with curved stainless steel tubes with a diameter of 48 mm. The swivel joints have undergone a service life test of at least 60,000 movement cycles at maximum load.
The DGUV (German Social Accident Insurance) Testing and Certification Centre for Foodstuffs and Packaging subjected the GT-HD to a fluorescence test: In this test, the support arm system is completely contaminated with fluorescent riboflavin, moved several times and then rinsed with a water jet (IPX5). After cleaning, the testers used UV light to reveal any residual contamination. Because no riboflavin residues were detectable, the stainless steel device holder received the DGUV certificate ‘Hygiene tested’.
