Hygienic accessories that reduce contamination risks, simplify cleaning and build performance bit by bit.
Every detail upgraded is a risk removed
Every accessory in a hygienic design plays a role most people never notice, until it fails. Every little detail is either a certified, self-draining component, or a gap where dirt and bacteria get a foothold. Upgrade them one at a time, and the effect compounds across the whole line.
More time running
Less time spent cleaning
Lower contamination risk
Designed to simplify washdown procedures and keep production running.
Designed for doors, guards and access panels in hygiene-critical production environments, NGI's hygienic latches provide reliable closure while supporting efficient cleaning and high food safety standards. The smooth, self-draining design helps reduce dirt accumulation and simplifies washdown procedures.
Hygienic by Design
Manufactured in AISI 316 stainless steel with blue hygienic NBR, EPDM or silicone seals, all latch variants are designed to help prevent contamination. Their IP-rated design helps protect against water ingress during washdown, while smooth, crevice-free and self-draining surfaces support effective cleaning and hygiene compliance.
Choose the right latch solution
The range includes both quarter-turn latches and compression latches, enabling machine builders to select the right combination of locking functionality, sealing performance and ease of operation. Compression variants provide improved sealing and vibration resistance, while quarter-turn variants allow fast and easy access.
Flexible to fit your application
Available in multiple configurations with latch arm distances from 4 to 50 mm in 1 mm increments, the range accommodates a wide variety of machine and panel designs. Selected variants offer wing-knob operation and adjustable compression for added flexibility.
Built for easy installation
All hygienic latch variants are designed for Plug & Play installation, helping reduce assembly time and simplify maintenance and replacement.
Small components can have a big impact on hygiene. Every exposed thread, sharp edge or difficult-to-clean connection creates a potential risk in food production. NGI's certified hygienic nuts and bolts are designed to eliminate those weak points while fitting seamlessly into existing machine designs.
Designed for Hygiene
Manufactured in stainless steel with hygienic sealing in NBR, EPDM or silicone, our nuts and bolts feature smooth, self-draining surfaces with a maximum roughness of 0.8 μm Ra. The hygienic sealing prevents contamination around the assembly and helps eliminate areas where dirt, moisture and bacteria can accumulate.
Certified and proven
All variants are certified according to EHEDG and 3-A hygienic standards and designed for demanding food, beverage, pharmaceutical and biotech environments where hygienic performance is critical.
Direct replacement for standard components
Our hygienic nuts and bolts are designed with the same dimensions as standard components, including matching wrench sizes and thread specifications. This allows OEMs and end users to upgrade hygienic performance without redesigning surrounding equipment.
Flexible product range
Available in sizes M4-M24 and a wide range of configurations, including certified hygienic nuts, certified hygienic bolts, reduced-shank bolts, carriage bolts, fit bolts and self-tapping bolts for softer materials.
Simple Upgrade. Immediate Impact.
Replace standard fasteners with certified hygienic alternatives and help reduce contamination risks, simplify cleaning procedures and support food safety compliance throughout your machine design.
Hygienic performance depends on more than levelling feet and bearing houses. Hygienic accessories all play an important role in eliminating hard-to-clean areas and supporting efficient washdown procedures.
Maintain cleanable distances
Hygienic spacers create the required distance between machine components and surrounding surfaces, making it easier to clean behind and around equipment. By reducing hidden and inaccessible areas, they support more efficient cleaning procedures and strengthen food safety.
The details that complete hygienic design
Manufactured in stainless steel and developed according to hygienic design principles, the accessories feature smooth surfaces and self-draining geometries designed for demanding washdown environments. The result is equipment that is easier to clean and maintain throughout its lifetime.
The accessories that complete hygienic design
Beyond bolts and nuts, latches, spacers, handles, knobs, cable glands, top covers, indexing plungers, blind plugs, welding flanges help eliminate contamination traps throughout the machine. Together they create a consistent hygienic design that is easier to clean and maintain.
Small Components. Big Impact.
Replacing standard accessories with hygienic alternatives can help simplify cleaning procedures, reduce contamination risks and strengthen food safety throughout the machine. Because when it comes to hygienic design, every detail matters.

From a single latch to a fully certified line, every hygienic detail adds up to the same result:
less time cleaning, fewer stops, and a machine you can trust to keep running. Start with the smallest component, and build toward complete hygienic design — one hygiene detail at a time.
When you build with hygienic accessories, you get:
A latch, a bolt or a spacer may seem insignificant on its own. Across an entire production line, however, these small details can have a major impact on hygiene, cleaning efficiency and uptime.
