G-Series 21.5-inch IP69K Panel PC

The 21.5‑inch G‑Series is the largest model in the IP69K stainless steel lineup, purpose‑built for central washdown zones, control rooms, and multi‑operator monitoring stations where high‑pressure, high‑temperature sanitation is routine. It shares the same fully welded SUS304 stainless steel enclosure, CNC‑machined unibody bezel, and triple‑certified IP69K + IP67 + IK07 protection as the rest of the G‑Series, but adds a 21.5‑inch 16:9 widescreen with 1920×1080 Full HD resolution — delivering more than double the viewable area of the 15‑inch model. This makes it the preferred choice for centralized SCADA dashboards, multi‑parameter production monitoring, and supervisor workstations where operators need to view complex process diagrams, video feeds, or quality metrics from across the room. The all‑stainless construction withstands daily high‑pressure (80–100 bar), high‑temperature (up to 80°C) steam and chemical washdowns, while the anti‑condensation valve ensures fog‑free operation after rapid temperature shifts from cold storage to washdown bay.

IP69K is the highest ingress‑protection rating for washdown equipment. It guarantees complete dust‑tightness and resistance to high‑temperature (80°C ±5°C), high‑pressure (80–100 bar) water jets delivered from a distance as close as 100–150 mm, with a flow rate of 14–16 L/min. Facilities that require daily steam or chemical sanitization — such as meat, seafood and dairy processing plants — mandate IP69K for all equipment in the washdown zone, and this 21.5‑inch display is fully compliant. IP67 adds protection against temporary immersion (up to 1 meter for 30 minutes), providing extra margin against flooding, hose‑down pooling and deep cleaning cycles. IK07 indicates mechanical impact resistance (2J impact energy, equivalent to a 1.7 kg mass dropped from 120 mm), protecting the large glass screen from accidental bumps, dropped tools and high‑traffic collisions in busy production areas. Together, these three certifications ensure that even a large‑format display survives the harshest hygienic environments — from daily chemical washdown bays to cold storage rooms — without enclosure degradation, internal contamination, or screen damage. For a deeper explanation of these protection grades, see our detailed guide on IP65, IP67 and IP69K ratings.

This is the key sizing decision within the G‑Series lineup. The 21.5‑inch model features a 16:9 widescreen with 1920×1080 Full HD resolution and a 1000:1 contrast ratio, while smaller models offer either 4:3 XGA (1024×768) or 15.6‑inch widescreen FHD. Choose the 21.5‑inch widescreen when your application demands:

• Maximum information density — Display multiple production lines, real‑time KPI dashboards, video feeds, and SCADA diagrams simultaneously on a single screen without switching views.
• Multi‑operator visibility — Operators and supervisors at 2–3 meter distances can read tags and interact with touch targets that would be illegible on smaller displays. The 21.5‑inch screen provides approximately 93% more viewable area than the 15‑inch 4:3 model and 50% more pixels than the 15.6‑inch widescreen.
• Native widescreen SCADA compatibility — Modern SCADA platforms (Ignition, WinCC Unified, FactoryTalk View SE) are natively designed for widescreen formats, and the 21.5‑inch 1080p resolution provides the ideal canvas.
• Central control room applications — The 21.5‑inch size is the most common choice for primary HMI terminals in food and pharma control rooms, balancing readability, information density, and physical footprint.

For space‑constrained equipment‑mounted stations or individual machine HMIs, choose the 10‑inch or 15‑inch models. For central supervisor workstations and control rooms, the 21.5‑inch is the recommended flagship choice.

The G‑Series 21.5‑inch IP69K panel PC is designed for industries where large‑format visualisation meets daily high‑pressure, high‑temperature washdown with caustic chemicals or steam. Primary applications include:

• Dairy Processing — Central control rooms overseeing cheese vats, milk pasteurization lines, CIP stations, and packaging equipment. The large display provides excellent visualization for batch recipes, real‑time temperature curves, and multi‑station CIP cycle status. This model has been successfully deployed in dairy factories in Australia.
• Seafood & Meat Processing — Central monitoring stations for portioning machines, packing lines, and hygiene workstations. The 21.5‑inch format displays product specifications, weight histograms, and traceability data across multiple lines simultaneously. This model has been successfully deployed in seafood processing plants in Thailand.
• Breweries & Beverage Production — Fermentation monitoring, bottling line SCADA, and quality control stations. The large widescreen display shows real‑time fermentation curves, bottling speeds, and fill levels across multiple vessels. This model has been successfully deployed in breweries in Germany.
• Pharmaceutical & Biotech Cleanrooms — Tablet coating line dashboards, filling suite monitoring, aseptic processing area control, and sterile compounding room supervision where disinfectant fogging and wipe‑down are routine.
• Chemical & Cosmetics Manufacturing — Central control for mixing vessels, filling lines, and packaging equipment exposed to corrosive solvents, acids and frequent washdown cycles.

For general factory automation and light splash zones, our EPC‑W aluminium‑housing IP65 series offers a more cost‑effective alternative. For equipment‑mounted HMIs in tight spaces, consider the 10‑inch or 15‑inch G‑Series models.

The G‑Series is engineered from the ground up for GMP/HACCP‑ready sanitation compliance, compliant with EHEDG and FDA hygiene standards:

• Full SUS304 stainless steel enclosure with CNC‑machined unibody bezel and welded chassis — No crevices, seams, sharp edges, hollow cavities or bacterial harborage points. The completely welded design prevents moisture ingress through joints.
• Smooth, non‑porous surfaces — All exterior surfaces are polished to resist particle entrapment and allow easy wipe‑down with disinfectants, bleach solutions or steam. The flat front panel design eliminates any recesses where food debris could accumulate.
• Anti‑condensation airflow valve — A specialized breather valve equalizes internal pressure during rapid temperature shifts (e.g., moving from cold storage to washdown bay), preventing internal fogging and condensation while maintaining full IP69K sealing integrity. This is especially critical for a large 21.5‑inch display where internal fogging would be highly visible and disruptive.
• IP69K‑rated sealed aviation connectors — All I/O ports (USB, dual Gigabit LAN, RS232, DC power) use rugged aviation‑style connectors that withstand direct high‑pressure spray without ingress. No standard unsealed ports are exposed.
• Fanless hygienic thermal structure — Eliminates airflow pathways that draw in dust, moisture and bacteria. Heat is conducted through the stainless steel chassis to external cooling fins, keeping the internal sealed environment completely contaminant‑free.
• Resistant to corrosion from cleaning agents — SUS304 withstands repeated exposure to chlorine‑based disinfectants, quaternary ammonia, peracetic acid and other harsh sanitizers used in food and pharmaceutical cleaning protocols. SUS316 optional for enhanced corrosion resistance in high‑chlorine environments (e.g., seafood processing).

The 21.5‑inch G‑Series supports scalable performance across Intel platforms, all sharing the same stainless steel enclosure, sealed I/O and panel‑mount dimensions:

CESIPC’s BlockCore™ modular architecture separates the compute engine (i‑Core Board) from the stainless steel display assembly — delivering critical advantages for hygienic washdown environments, especially on the flagship 21.5‑inch model:

1. Upgradability without re‑certification: Upgrading from a Celeron J1900 to a 12th Gen Core i7 requires only swapping the compute board. The IP69K stainless steel enclosure, sealed I/O connectors, large‑format touchscreen, anti‑condensation valve and panel‑mount cutout all remain unchanged — preserving your costly IP69K, sanitary and washdown certifications. This is particularly valuable for large‑format displays where re‑certification costs would be substantial.
2. Simplified spare parts & maintenance: A single i‑Core Board SKU works across all G‑Series stainless steel models (10‑inch, 15‑inch, 15.6‑inch, and 21.5‑inch) and standard EPC‑W aluminium panel PCs. Field service teams can replace the compute module in minutes without breaking the IP69K seal or compromising hygienic integrity.
3. Modular I/O expansion: BlockCore™ supports i‑Function and i‑Connect expansion boards for additional ports (GPIO, 4G, LVDS, serial ports, intelligent fan control) — without altering the sealed enclosure or requiring custom PCB development. This is especially useful for control room applications that may need additional connectivity over time.

SafeCore™ is CESIPC’s system‑level power‑loss protection architecture. In washdown and food processing facilities, plants often perform emergency shutdowns for cleaning cycles, lockout/tagout procedures or unexpected power fluctuations from high‑pressure washdown equipment — events that can corrupt OS files and batch logs if power is removed abruptly. SafeCore™ guards the operating system against file corruption during sudden power failure, ensuring safe disk writes and preventing fragmentation or data loss. Combined with auto power‑on recovery (the system automatically restarts when power returns), it guarantees the washdown workstation resumes normal operation after each cleaning shift without manual intervention. This is mission‑critical for production traceability logs, HACCP temperature records, operator authentication, and real‑time quality data feeds in regulated food and pharmaceutical environments — especially on a 21.5‑inch central monitoring station where multiple production lines depend on continuous uptime. SafeCore™ is standard across all G‑Series models and works in tandem with TPM 2.0 hardware security for encrypted authentication and data protection.

The 21.5‑inch G‑Series supports VESA mounting (100×100mm) for flexible installation on stands, articulated arms, or machine frames, with standard panel‑mount options available for flush integration into stainless steel control cabinets in central control rooms.

Mechanical dimensions: Overall 570(W) × 370(H) × 65(D) mm (approximate; refer to datasheet for exact measurements). Weight: approximately 12–15 kg net depending on configuration. Materials: Rugged SUS304 stainless steel casing (SUS316 optional for higher corrosion resistance in high‑salt environments).

Sealed I/O ports (aviation connectors): 2 × USB 2.0 Type‑A, 2 × Gigabit LAN ports with RJ45 aviation connectors (Intel® I210 chipset for reliable industrial communication), 2 × RS232 (optional RS485/422 conversion), 1 × 4‑pin DC input (9–36V wide‑range). All connectors survive direct high‑pressure spray without ingress.

Wireless: Optional Intel N6235 Wi‑Fi (802.11a/b/g/n, 2.4G/5G, 300Mbps) and 4G LTE module.

Environmental: Operating temperature -10°C to 60°C (extended range optional). Storage: -20°C to 70°C. Humidity: 10%–90% RH, non‑condensing. Full IP69K + IP67 protection certified. CE/FCC compliant (EN 55032 & EN 55035, EN IEC 61000-3-2). Factory ISO9001:2015 certified. MTBF 60,000 hours.

Yes — the 21.5‑inch G‑Series offers both resistive and projected capacitive (P‑CAP) touch technologies, each optimized for washdown environments:

Resistive 5‑wire touch (optional): Activated by pressure, not electrical conductivity — works reliably with wet hands, water droplets on the screen, and thick industrial gloves (latex, nitrile, rubber). Immune to false touches from water spray or condensation. The preferred choice for washdown zones where operators frequently handle wet product or wear heavy sanitation gloves.

Projected capacitive (P‑CAP) touch (standard): Provides multi‑touch capability (pinch/zoom), higher optical clarity and excellent responsiveness — works through thin gloves and wet conditions using advanced algorithms that reject water droplets. Ideal for applications requiring modern gesture‑based HMI interaction. The 21.5‑inch display features 1920×1080 resolution, 300 cd/m² brightness, 1000:1 contrast ratio, and 50,000 hours LED backlight life. P‑CAP is the recommended choice for central control rooms where operators may need to pinch, zoom, and swipe through large SCADA dashboards.

Both touch technologies are sealed behind the IP69K front panel and survive daily exposure to high‑pressure washdown, cleaning agents and steam. The front surface is also treated to resist chemical attack from disinfectants and sanitizers.

Yes. The G‑Series is designed to meet the stringent hygiene requirements of regulated food and pharmaceutical environments. The fully sealed SUS304 stainless steel construction with welded, crevice‑free surfaces complies with FDA and EHEDG hygienic design principles, eliminating bacterial harborage points and enabling effective sanitation. The smooth, non‑porous surfaces resist particle entrapment and allow easy wipe‑down with disinfectants, bleach solutions, or steam — supporting HACCP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point) sanitation protocols and GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) requirements. The IP69K rating ensures that the device withstands the daily high‑pressure, high‑temperature washdown cycles required for FDA‑regulated food processing lines.
