    Sanitary Threaded-Hole Knobs

    Designed for sanitary environments, these knobs are commonly used in pharmaceutical and food-processing facilities. Install them on threaded studs to position, tighten, and hold equipment. The Buna-N rubber seal keeps out contaminants and blocks unhygienic metal-to-metal contact. The seal is blue, making it easy to spot and remove if it falls into your line. It’s also FDA compliant for direct contact with food. These knobs have a 316 stainless steel body that resists corrosion from frequent washdowns with harsh cleaners. Highly polished, with rounded edges and no horizontal ledges, they have no crevices where bacteria can grow.

    Metal-Detectable Threaded-Stud Knobs

    Made for use in food processing facilities, these plastic knobs have a metal additive that sets off metal detectors if a piece breaks off into your line. They’re also bright blue, so it’s easy to find and retrieve loose pieces. They help you comply with Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) programs for keeping contaminated food from leaving your facility.
    These knobs give you a secure grip to tighten, position, and hold components in place. Made from nylon, they’re wear resistant and won’t degrade from oil, grease, and solvents. They meet ISO 4753 standards for the ends of threaded parts, and they’re FDA compliant for direct food contact. Mount them into a threaded hole.

    Sanitary Thumb Screws

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Thumb Screws. Sanitary Thumb Screws.
    Harsh cleaners and sanitizers won't corrode these stainless steel thumb screws. Fasten in areas that experience frequent washdowns, such as food and pharmaceutical plants. These screws have smooth sides and rounded edges to reduce the risk of bacteria growth. The head is slim and flat like a coin for extra leverage when twisting. Fasten with a sanitary sealing washer (sold separately) to keep contaminants out, lock fluids in, and eliminate space where bacteria can get caught.
    Length is measured from under the head.
    EPDM Sealing Washers—These washers are highly resistant to tearing, scuffs, and scrapes. They are more economical than Fluoroprene Fluoroelastomer, however, they aren't as heat resistant.
    Fluoroprene Fluoroelastomer Sealing Washers—These sanitary sealing washers withstand higher temperatures than EPDM, so you can sterilize them with steam. They also resist more chemicals, such as oil, solvents, and acids.

    With a sanitary design, these threaded-hole-mount knobs are often used to open and close doors and drawers on furniture, machines, and other equipment in pharmaceutical and food-processing facilities. They attach like most knobs in your kitchen—push a screw through the back of a hole and thread these knobs onto the front. The seal is blue, so it’s easily seen and removed if it falls into your line. It’s also FDA compliant for direct contact with food. Knobs have a 316 stainless steel body that resists corrosion from frequent washdowns with harsh cleaners. They’re highly polished with rounded edges and no horizontal ledges, leaving no room for bacteria to grow.

    Image of Attribute. Front orientation. Contains Annotated. Sanitary Retractable Spring Plungers.
    With rounded edges and polished surfaces, these spring plungers are free of nooks and crannies where dirt, water, and bacteria could collect. The seal on the base keeps contaminants off the threads and is bright blue, so you can easily spot broken pieces that fall into your line. A tug of the knob manually retracts the nose so you can do everything from positioning containers on an assembly line to locking mixing blades in place. Spring plungers are FDA compliant for direct contact with food.
    316 Stainless Steel Nose—Won't corrode from frequent washdowns with harsh cleaners and detergents.
    Twist-to-Lock—Free up both hands to adjust your workpiece or switch out parts without the plunger springing back and getting in the way. Pull back the handle and twist to lock the nose in its retracted position.
