An enclosure that can withstand a jet wash or hosedown will have to adhere to IP65. AN IP65 or NEMA 4 x enclosure are ideal for food production areas as they are made from stainless steel and can withstand even the liberal amounts of water used in that industry without fear of corrosion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Industrial areas such as manufacturing and processing plants, warehouses and factory floors are as much dependent on modern IT systems as are offices.
