News Release

Belden’s Wash-Down Cord Sets are designed to perform in

extreme environments, providing functional reliability and
lower maintenance costs.
Belden Inc. released new Wash-Down Cord Sets as part of its
Lumberg Automation product portfolio in North America and Europe.
The new cord sets are designed to withstand extreme temperatures,
immense pressure, and the chemical exposure typical in high-
intensity cleaning processes. They also ensure functional reliability
in all harsh industrial settings, particularly for the food and beverage,
chemical, and pharmaceutical industries.

As industrial-based businesses rely heavily on highly connected and

automated systems to lower costs, increase productivity, and maximize margins, the risk and
costs of unplanned downtime increase dramatically. The hazardous conditions of many
industrial settings, including facilities for manufacturing, oil and gas, energy, utilities, water
treatment, and more, put immense strain on the cord sets and cables that enable sensor-
connected systems, increasing the risk of cable failure and higher maintenance costs.

Lumberg Automation’s Wash-Down Cord Sets feature gold-plated crimp contacts, high shock
and vibration resistance, and IP67, IP68, and IP69K certification for ingress protection. They
are specifically designed to withstand the high shock and vibration found in industrial
environments, which helps to maintain a high productivity level of equipment.

Additionally, the cord sets feature:

A seal of quality from ECOLAB, which indicates Lumberg Automation’s Wash-Down

Cord Sets fulfill stringent requirements related to impermeability and resistance to a wide
range of aggressive chemicals and cleaning agents
UL certification for temperatures up to +90°C and an operating temperature range of
+40°C to +105°C, which ensures the cord sets are suitable for the extreme temperatures
of industrial applications worldwide
Fast and easy installation and replacement processes, especially compared to
traditional hardwired systems. Technicians can replace damaged or outdated cord sets
faster than with hardwired systems – often in less than 15 or 20 minutes – potentially
saving tens of thousands of dollars from unplanned downtime.

“Ensuring the reliability of connected, automated systems in industrial settings is absolutely

essential for businesses focused on improving productivity and profitability,” said Tim Senkbeil,
1/2
product line manager at Lumberg Automation. “By withstanding the most extreme industrial
conditions and making it easier to install and replace connectors and cables, these wash-down
cord sets help businesses minimize the risk of unplanned downtime, while lowering
maintenance costs.”
