316 & 304 Stainless Steel Computers for Food and Pharmaceutical
Impulse have the industry insight and technology know-how to supply computing solutions engineered for hygiene, durability and compliance.
Industry Insight. Technology Know-how.
Why Stainless Steel is Essential in Food & Pharmaceutical Facilities
316 stainless steel is widely used in food and pharmaceutical industries due to its enhanced hygienic and rugged properties. Known for its resistance to chemicals and corrosion, it offers long-lasting performance in demanding environments. Designed to meet the most stringent hygiene and safety requirements, 316 stainless steel is equipped with anti-bacterial, non-porous surfaces and industry certifications such as GMP and ATEX, making it the ideal choice for applications that demand performance and compliance where it matters most.
Ideal for deployment in applications where hygiene and cleanliness is paramount.
Providing silent operation and minimal maintenance.
Offering reliable performance with minimal maintenance for 24/7 operation.
GOT821A-TGL-WCD
The Axiomtek GOT821A-TGL-WCD is a 21.5" FHD Panel PC with a fanless design driven by the powerful Intel 11th Gen. Core i5-1145G7E processor for advanced performance in demanding environments.
Food & Pharma Computing For Your Application: Where Our Solutions Work
Washdown Production Line HMI and Data Entry Station
A stainless steel industrial computer can be mounted near the line for operator HMI, batch confirmation, and downtime or reject logging in areas where frequent washdown is routine. Using 316 or 304 stainless reduces corrosion risk and makes it easier to maintain clean surfaces around the workstation, while sealed housings help prevent moisture ingress during cleaning cycles.
Cleanroom or Hygienic Packaging Area Workstation
In pharmaceutical or hygienic packaging zones, a stainless computer provides a durable local workstation for electronic batch records, label verification, and QA sign-off without introducing materials that are hard to clean or that degrade under repeated sanitising. The goal is a stable, wipe-down-friendly platform that can live close to the process while supporting routine compliance tasks.
Bespoke IP69K Panel PCs Provided for Demanding Food Manufacturing Infrastructure
One of the UK’s largest food manufacturing companies, who operate a number of state of the art foodmanufacturing plants throughout the UK, approached us with a project that involved an upgrade to multiple touchscreen panel PCs for processing lines in order to maintain and optimise overall performance and decision-making on the plant floor. Our experienced Technical Account Managers offered a panel PC solution from Axiomtek, which boasted a fully IP69K rated SUS316 stainless steel enclosure capable of enduring the harsh chemical cleaning and freezing temperatures of the processing plant.

Our work on food and pharmaceutical projects usually follows a defined process. We start by understanding the environment and application in detail, then agree a suitable hardware platform, build and validate systems in the UK, and finally manage changes and lifecycle.
Projects typically start with a requirements capture phase. This covers environmental conditions such as temperature range, dust levels, vibration and cleaning regime; electrical considerations such as supply, earthing and panel layout; performance requirements; I/O and expansion needs; relevant standards or approvals; and expectations around lifecycle, volume and support.
Based on this information, suitable hardware platforms are shortlisted and reviewed. CPU class, memory, storage, I/O, expansion options and mounting arrangements are agreed, along with any specific BIOS or firmware requirements. For repeat deployments, a small number of standard builds are usually defined to simplify stocking, rollout and support.
Systems are then assembled and validated in the UK. This includes physical assembly, OS installation and configuration, loading of customer images where required, and burn-in and functional tests defined for the project. The goal is that systems arrive on site ready to be integrated with minimal additional work.
Once deployed, attention shifts to lifecycle support. Agreed configurations are documented and controlled as a bill of materials. Changes announced by manufacturers are monitored, and when they occur, suitable replacement options are identified and discussed. Where appropriate, last-time-buy planning and controlled transitions are used to minimise disruption to machines and production lines.
