ABB PMA Cable Protection for Hygienic Food and Beverage Applications

ABB’s PMA cable protection solutions combine hygiene, durability and flexibility for demanding food and beverage applications where cleanability and reliable cable protection are essential.

As the Australian distributor for PMA cable protection systems, Treotham Automation provides local access to ABB’s PMA range, backed by product knowledge and technical support.

With 50 years of cable protection expertise, PMA’s Swiss-produced conduit systems protect cables against mechanical, environmental and chemical factors while meeting the demanding requirements of hygiene-critical environments.

The latest PMA JFBD conduit features a smooth, overextruded food-grade outer layer designed without exposed crevices where food residues can collect. Its cleanability has been demonstrated through Riboflavin testing, with all visible traces removed after the first washdown.

Rated to IP69, the conduit offers high resistance to chemicals and aggressive cleaning agents, supporting reliable performance in applications requiring rigorous washdown and chemical disinfection.

Its flexible construction withstands tight bending radii and dynamic loads, making it suitable for applications including robotics, pick-and-place equipment and conveyor systems.

The PMA food and beverage system also includes stainless steel and nylon fittings, stainless steel P-clips and lock nuts, providing a complete cable protection solution for hygienic food production environments.

Backed by ABB’s extensive industry experience, PMA cable protection solutions are designed to support operational continuity, safety and regulatory compliance while helping reduce downtime.

PMA cable protection systems are available in Australia through Treotham Automation, with local product support and access to a comprehensive range of conduit, fittings and accessories.
