OVENS
Baking and heat-processing equipment
Connections at ovens and heat-processing sections. Give the temperature at the cable route and the distance to the heat source.
Typical application
APPLICATION / Food & beverage
Silicone Cable for
Food & Beverage Equipment
For ovens, sterilisers and heated food equipment.
We start from silicone-insulated, silicone-sheathed cable: fine-stranded tinned copper, 300/500 V, rated −60 °C (−76°F) to +180 °C (356°F) continuous and +200 °C (392°F) short-term, from 2 × 0.2 mm² to 10 × 2.5 mm², with an optional fibre braid.
AT A GLANCE
Food equipment wiring at a glance
Each food-equipment connection and the silicone cable we start from.
| Connection | Cable construction | Key point |
|---|---|---|
| Baking and heat-processing equipment | Silicone-insulated and sheathed cable | +180 °C (356°F) continuous, +200 °C (392°F) short-term at the cable route |
| Sterilisation equipment | Silicone-insulated and sheathed cable | Steam and cleaning-agent compatibility: application-specific test data needed |
| Filling and cold-chain machinery | Silicone-insulated and sheathed cable | Rated down to −60 °C (−76°F); install at −20 °C (−4°F) or above |
CONNECTION TASKS
Food processing equipment wiring
Our silicone-insulated and sheathed cable is used on food-processing equipment, baking machinery, filling lines, cold-chain and high-temperature sterilisation equipment, and water-treatment food machinery. It is for equipment wiring, not for direct food contact.
STERILISERS
Sterilisation equipment
Wiring on high-temperature sterilisation equipment. Describe steam, hot-water and cleaning exposure.
Typical application
FILLING & COLD
Filling and cold-chain machinery
Connections on filling lines and refrigerated food machinery. Mark cold, wet and moving sections separately.
Typical application
SELECTION CHECKS
Operating conditions to specify
Include these conditions with your enquiry so we can select the right cable.
Hygiene zone
Whether the cable runs in a food zone, splash zone or non-product zone decides the requirement.
Cleaning regime
Cleaning agents, concentration, temperature and washdown pressure set the chemical and mechanical exposure.
Temperature range
The maximum heat near ovens or sterilisers and the minimum in chilled sections define the thermal range.

Food equipment wiring vs. food contact
The silicone sheath is described as washable and suitable for disinfection. Compatibility with specific cleaning agents and high-pressure washdown requires separate test data.
- Heated zone
- Silicone insulation and sheath; confirm the rating of the selected size.
- Washdown zone
- Confirm resistance to your cleaning chemicals by test before selection.
- Food contact
- This cable is for equipment wiring, not for direct food contact.

BEFORE YOU SPECIFY
Frequently asked questions
Is this cable approved for food contact?
No. This cable is for equipment wiring, not direct food contact, and is not offered as food-contact or hygiene approved.
Which sizes are available?
Listed sizes span 2–10 cores and 0.2–2.5 mm² per core. See the size table for available combinations.
What is the lowest temperature for installing the cable?
Install at −20 °C (−4°F) or above. Once installed, the cable is rated down to −60 °C (−76°F) for chilled and cold-chain sections.
