Built for Hygiene-Critical Environments

Standard Panel PCs corrode, harbour bacteria in bezel gaps, and fail when subjected to the high-pressure chemical wash-downs used in food processing and pharmaceutical manufacturing. Avalue stainless steel Panel PCs are designed from the ground up for these environments — with AISI 304 stainless steel bezels, no exposed fasteners, and IP66/IP69K sealed enclosures.

Key Features

  • AISI 304 or 316L stainless steel front bezel — corrosion-resistant, easy to disinfect
  • IP66 and IP69K rated — withstands powerful water jets and high-pressure steam cleaning
  • Flush-mount front panel — no gaps, no recesses where bacteria can accumulate
  • PCAP glove-operable touch — hygienic operation with food-grade gloves
  • Fanless sealed chassis — no moving parts, no contamination risk
  • Windows 10/11 IoT Enterprise LTSC — long-term OS for GMP validated systems

Available Screen Sizes

Avalue stainless Panel PCs are available from 12.1" to 21.5" to suit operator workstations, filling line monitors, and cleanroom supervisor stations. All models support panel-mount installation flush with the cabinet face.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why use stainless steel Panel PCs in food processing?
Standard Panel PCs corrode, harbour bacteria in bezel gaps, and fail when subjected to the high-pressure chemical wash-downs used in food processing. Avalue stainless steel Panel PCs use AISI 304 or 316L stainless steel bezels with no exposed fasteners and IP66/IP69K sealed enclosures — withstanding repeated high-pressure steam cleaning and chemical disinfection without corrosion or bacterial growth in crevices.
What is the difference between IP66 and IP69K ratings?
IP66 protects against powerful water jets from any direction — sufficient for most food processing wash-down routines. IP69K additionally protects against high-pressure, high-temperature steam jets (80°C, 80 bar at close range) — required in meat processing, dairy, and pharmaceutical manufacturing where steam sterilisation is part of the cleaning protocol. Avalue stainless steel Panel PCs typically carry both IP66 and IP69K certification.
What stainless steel grade is used in Avalue hygiene Panel PCs?
Avalue hygiene Panel PCs use AISI 304 stainless steel for standard food and pharmaceutical environments, and AISI 316L (marine grade) for high-corrosion environments with chloride-based cleaning agents, salt brines, or marine applications. 316L has higher molybdenum content, providing superior resistance to chloride pitting and crevice corrosion.
Can stainless steel Panel PCs run standard factory software?
Yes — Avalue stainless steel Panel PCs run Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC or Windows 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC, fully compatible with food industry MES, ERP clients, SCADA systems, and custom production management software. The stainless steel and IP69K protection is purely a hardware enclosure feature; the internal computing platform is identical to standard industrial Panel PCs.
Does TSL Automation supply stainless steel Panel PCs in India?
Yes — TSL Automation Solutions supplies Avalue stainless steel and hygienic Panel PCs in India for food processing, pharmaceutical manufacturing, cleanroom, and marine applications. Contact our Mumbai team for AISI grade selection, IP rating confirmation, and pricing.
