C3-1579 Sanitary Compression Lock
The hygienic compression latch is specifically designed for equipment in the food, beverage, pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and other high hygiene level industries. Unlike standard hygienic quarter-turn locks, this product generates additional axial compression after the lock tongue rotates to the locked position, further pulling the equipment door panel towards the door frame and maintaining a stable compression state of the sealing strip. This "rotation + compression" working method allows for quick locking, door panel pre-tensioning, enhanced sealing, and vibration resistance, making it particularly suitable for hygienic equipment that requires frequent high-pressure cleaning, has sealing requirements, or experiences vibrations.
- Hole Size: M22*20mm

FAQ
Can you send samples?
Yes, we can provide a few free samples for customers, but we hope that the shipping costs can be covered by you.
Does ForndLock offer OEM/ODM customization for safety right angle locks?
Yes, we support customization of materials, structure, surface treatment, lock cylinder types, and identification for safety right-angle locks to meet project requirements.
What is the minimum order quantity?
The general minimum order quantity is 200 PCS, but if stock is sufficient, flexible supply can be provided according to actual demand, with no minimum order quantity restrictions.
What is the difference between a sanitary compression lock and a standard sanitary rotary lock?
The standard sanitary rotary lock primarily completes a 90° rotation of the lock tongue. The compression lock also generates an axial tightening action after the lock tongue is in position, further pressing the door panel against the door frame, thus enhancing sealing, vibration resistance, and anti-loosening capabilities.
What material is the blue sealing ring made of?
Made of blue TPU sealing material commonly used in food equipment. The blue design also facilitates quick identification of seals in food production environments. If direct food contact is involved, corresponding compliance documents for food contact materials can be provided as per project requirements.
What does IP69K represent?
The P69K is primarily designed for high-pressure and high-temperature spraying environments, suitable for equipment frequently washed with high-pressure water guns in food factories. Actual supply should be based on the corresponding IP test report and installation conditions.
Can it withstand high-pressure cleaning?
The sanitary compression lock can be designed with an IP69K structure for high-pressure and high-temperature washing environments. However, the IP69K rating must be based on the complete lock structure tested in practice, and cannot be inferred solely from materials or sealing rings.
