EPSON Robots Announces Wash Down 6-Axis Robots

New C3-IP67 Robots designed for automation of unwrapped food transportation lines.

CARSON, Calif. - EPSON Robots has announced its new EPSON C3-IP67 wash down 6-Axis Robots. These robots help to eliminate contamination concerns caused by mishandling and inconsistency of human intervention in food transportation lines, the company said.

"EPSON C3-IP67 robots were created to be chemically washable in order to meet the hygiene standards in perishable food fields," said Michael Ferrara, director, EPSON Robots. "In perishable food processes, risk management to prevent all kinds of food contamination caused by human intervention is required. By introducing EPSON washable robots we are able to eliminate the concerns caused by harmful foreign substances such as human hair, dust and pollen in food handling.

C3-IP67 robots feature a sanitary design with a smooth surface which prevents foreign substances from remaining on the robot arm, EPSON reports. The protective surface prevents build-up of bacteria and is easily sanitized during the antiseptic cleaning process. C3-IP67 robots are highly resistant to harsh chemicals and can withstand sustained intense water pressure making them easy to maintain proper cleanliness for food, medical and other applications that require wash down capabilities.
