Yes, all electrical components on a Shaffer mixer are rated NEMA 4X, including the operator control panel. While the NEMA 4X rating provides a degree of protection against splashing and hose-directed water, we suggest not using hose-directed cleaning of the operator control panel. Wiping the operator control panel with a wet cloth should suffice. If hose-directed wash down is necessary, power should be disconnected from the mixer before cleaning. The operator control panel uses a sanitary washdown enclosure that minimizes the standing and pooling of water that could harbor bacteria. Shaffer’s standard main electrical enclosure is rated NEMA 4, which gives your mixer the same protection for dirt and water as a NEMA 4X only in an economical painted enclosure. A NEMA 4X main control enclosure can be ordered as on option.
