The Rittal Hygienic HD 4000185 side panels are specifically designed for use in hygienic environments and are made of stainless steel 1.4301 (AISI 304) with a wall thickness of 2.0 mm. This material combination ensures high corrosion resistance and easy cleaning, making them particularly suitable for applications in the food industry, pharmaceuticals, or the medical sector. The side panels are intended as replacement or supplementary parts for enclosures with a height of 1,800 mm and a depth of 500 mm. Installation is carried out from the inside, with the fastening materials included in the delivery scope. Installing a side panel increases the overall width of the enclosure by 25 mm, which must be considered when planning installation dimensions.

Side panels made of stainless steel offer a robust and long-lasting construction that remains stable even under high mechanical loads and in humid environments. The use of stainless steel 1.4301 (AISI 304) ensures high resistance to oxidation and chemical influences, extending the product's service life. The wall thickness of 2.0 mm provides sufficient stability without disproportionately increasing the weight of the enclosure. The side panels are designed for enclosures with a height of 1,800 mm and a depth of 500 mm, making them suitable for a wide range of standard installations.

Applications include environments where hygiene and ease of cleaning are of central importance. These include food industry production facilities, pharmacies, hospitals, or laboratories, where avoiding contamination and enabling easy surface disinfection are critical. The smooth surface of the stainless steel allows for effective cleaning and prevents the accumulation of dirt or bacteria.

Functions and equipment in detail include an integrated fastening solution that enables secure installation from the inside. The included fastening materials are specifically designed for use with stainless steel constructions and ensure a durable connection. The side panels are not pre-drilled but are directly screwed onto the enclosure structure, allowing individual adaptation to the specific enclosure design.

Technology explained simply shows that the side panels function as modular components installed into existing enclosure structures to close off the side surfaces. The use of stainless steel 1.4301 (AISI 304) is a proven choice for hygienic requirements, as this material leaves no harmful residues and is resistant to commonly used disinfectants. The wall thickness of 2.0 mm provides sufficient strength to withstand mechanical loads such as contact or light impacts without deformation.

Compatibility and accessories refers to the precise fit for enclosures with a height of 1,800 mm and a depth of 500 mm. The side panels are not intended for other dimensions.

Installation and mounting is carried out from the inside using the included fastening materials. The installation requires no special tools other than a screwdriver or a suitable screwdriver set. The process is simple and involves screwing the panels onto the existing mounting points inside the enclosure. The increase in overall width by 25 mm per installed side panel must be considered when planning installation dimensions.

Operational advantages include long service life, easy maintenance, and high hygiene standards. The side panels can be regularly cleaned and disinfected without compromising material integrity. The use of stainless steel 1.4301 (AISI 304) ensures high corrosion resistance, which is particularly beneficial in humid or chemically demanding environments. The modular design allows for flexible adaptation to existing enclosure systems.
