Hygienic Quarter-Turn Latches

SLC3-2578M Hygienic Compression Quarter-Turn Latch

After the quarter turn, the cam on the SLC3-2578M keeps travelling: 7 mm of clamping movement pulls the door against its gasket and holds an ultimate load of 700 N.

SKU : SLC3-2578M

Plants standardized on the EMKA 1000-U861/U862 hygienic compression latches can specify the SLC3-2578M as a compatible latch for the same washdown duty.
