According to the German Social Accident Insurance (DGUV), in Germany in 2021 there were a total of 806.217 reportable accidents at work listed. Unauthorized access, incorrect machine operation and unwanted electrical discharges can also lead to significant damage. There is another aspect to consider in hygiene-sensitive areas: No foreign bodies may get into the products to be processed. Many of these and other dangers can be reduced with simple means. The Heinrich Kipp factory offers numerous operating elements and standard parts for this.
Ergonomic aluminum handwheels
26.07.2023/XNUMX/XNUMX | The new Aluminum handwheels by Heinrich Kipp are visually appealing, ergonomic and reliable. The controls are easy to use and fit seamlessly into the manufacturing process. Six designs in different sizes and two color variants are available.
The hand wheels of the new series are particularly light because they are made of aluminium. The Controls were specially designed for use in mechanical and plant engineering. With them z. B. manually adjust and adjust fittings, machine tools or geared motors. In addition, individual machine parts can be moved using the handwheel in emergency operation of a system.
The aluminum handwheels are available as spoked or disc handwheels with and without a crank and with a foldable or rotatable cylindrical handle. The latter has a conical shape and a cylindrical heel for optimal haptics and very good grip. When folded, the cylinder handle disappears completely in the control element. This reduces interference contours during the process. At the same time, the risk of injury is minimized. The low height of the variants with and without a foldable handle, the material-related low weight on the one hand and the low tolerance in concentricity and axial run-out of less than 0,4 mm on the other are further features.
There are non-positive and positive-locking variants for fastening the handwheels:
- with fitting hole
- with fitting hole and keyway
- with fitting hole and cross hole or
- with fitting hole, keyway and cross hole
A black hub cap improves the look and reduces the ingress of dirt. All models are powder-coated and therefore durable. They are available in either silver or black. The spoked handwheels are available in diameters of 125 and 160 mm, the disc handwheels from 80 to 125 mm.
Detectable operating parts for the food industry
14.02.2023/XNUMX/XNUMX | Kipp has the new detectable control panels for the food technology and pharmaceutical industry designed. Leave with them for contamination in the manufacturing process prevent major failures. When small splinters come loose from damaged components and get into the products, it is often the consumers who first discover the fault. Expensive product recalls are the result.
Visually detectable operating parts help with their blue color, which is rather untypical in the food sector. Affected products are easier to identify when they come into contact with food. The controls meet the increased hygiene requirements, because the Materials comply with the EU10/2011 standard and are FDA compliant. Thanks to cleaning-optimized geometries, the cross handle, for example, with its closed handle contour and smooth surface, is very easy to clean. There are also bow handles, wing handles, star handles and knurled knobs clamping lever. They are all colored ultramarine blue, similar to RAL5002.
In the metal detectable Control panels allow the components to be detected using induction technology. This helps if a control panel accidentally enters the production process in whole or in fragments. Special detection systems reliably select out the foreign bodies, even if they can no longer be seen with the naked eye. Fragments of up to 0,027 cm³ (3 x 3 x 3 mm) can be detected and ejected.
In the future, various material combinations make the grips even more flexible. The forms remain identical – the one used Plastic gives them completely new properties.
Antibacterial controls defy viruses & co.
10.02.2023/XNUMX/XNUMX| The antibacterial operating parts of the Medigrip Product series were developed for applications in which the highest hygiene standards are required or in which the spread of germs must be prevented. They were, inter alia, for use in the Medical Technology
The handles are made entirely of plastic enriched with micro-silver. This ensures that a large part of the viruses or bacteria on the product surface are broken down after just a few hours. This means that with the antibacterial controls from the Heinrich Kipp factory Dramatically minimize risk of infection upon contact leaves.
The number of germs present is significantly reduced between the cleaning cycles. In addition, the robust components are resistant to a large number of detergents and moisture.

Wired ones have been added Locking bolt, locking bolt for hygienic applications, which with eccentric lever or with an integrated status sensor. Functions can be operated remotely using the locking bolts with Bowden cable.
Standard-compliant ESD control panels made of special plastics
28.10.2021/XNUMX/XNUMX | Electrostatic discharge can be uncomfortable in everyday life. In industrial production, such discharges can damage or even destroy sensitive electronic devices, components or devices. To prevent such damage, workplaces in ESD Zones (electrostatic discharge or electrostatic discharge) must be equipped in accordance with standards down to the smallest component. The Heinrich Kipp factory offers safe ESD for this keypads.
Clamping lever prevents unintentional opening or closing
24.01.2021/XNUMX/XNUMX | The Heinrich Kipp factory expands its portfolio by one clamping lever with safety function. The clamping levers thus prevent unintentional opening or closing. Changes to the clamping point can only be made when the grip lever is pressed. the keypads thus ensure a safer production environment as well as rehabilitation and Medical Technology. The way the new clamping levers work is as simple as it is effective.
