01 · Why KnorrTec
Four reasons why KnorrTec is the right partner for your dry-area connection technology.
As a cable assembly specialist — not a distributor — we bring the technical expertise that is essential for robust connection technology in the dry-goods area of the food and beverage industry. We do not supply off-the-shelf standard parts; we develop the connection that fits your application.
Technical consultation in advance
Before we assemble your cables, we clarify your requirements together — ambient conditions, cable routing, existing connectors. That way, the connection fits right the first time.
Custom assembly from quantity 1
No minimum order quantity. Exactly your length, your connector, your jacket material — from a prototype for the first packaging line to series production.
Manufacturer-independent
Compatible with all common connector and fieldbus systems. We know the standard connection formats on the market and supply the right connection — regardless of your system's manufacturer.
Tested quality
Every cable assembly is 100% electrically tested — with a test report on request.
02 · Technical Requirements
What connection technology in the dry-goods area needs to be capable of.
Standard industrial cables quickly fail on conveyor lines and packaging lines in the food and beverage industry. Knowing the requirements of this environment is what lets you choose the right design — that is the consulting expertise KnorrTec brings.
Dust and dirt protection (IP65/67)
Open facility environments with dust, flour, or packaging residue require connectors with solid protection against dust and splash water — IP65 to IP67 depending on the installation situation.
Cable-Carrier Compatibility
For moving axes on conveyor belts, palletizers, and packaging machines, we assemble cables using cable-carrier-compatible, highly flexible strands and correspondingly rated strain reliefs.
Vibration resistance
Conveyor lines and packaging machines generate continuous mechanical stress. We select robust connector types and strain reliefs that withstand these vibrations.
Long Cable Lengths
Large facilities between the control cabinet and the line require long, low-loss cable lengths. We assemble cables to your exact required length, without compromising on cross-section.
Robust strain relief
Frequent transport and format changes on conveyor and packaging systems require stable strain relief at every connector.
EMC shielding
Densely packed sensors on packaging and conveyor lines create interference potential. Braided shields reliably protect signal and fieldbus conductors from interference.
"No off-the-shelf connection technology. Every cable we supply is discussed with you beforehand."
KnorrTec — cable assembler, not a distributor.
03 · Made-to-Measure Assembly
From requirement to finished cable — starting at a single piece.
We are not a catalog supplier. Every cable we deliver was specified together with you and manufactured at our facility in Beratzhausen. That's the difference between a connection that holds — and one that fails.
Inquiry & Consultation
You describe your requirements: system area, ambient conditions, cable routing, existing connectors. We ask the right questions — and work with you to find the optimal specification.
Technical specification
Our team specifies the jacket material, ingress protection rating, shielding design, connector design, and strain relief — documented as a drawing for your records.
Assembly
We manufacture in-house at our own facility — exactly your length, your connector, your print marking. From a single unit to series production, using the same materials and processes.
Testing & Delivery
Every cable is electrically tested. Supplied with a test report — on request with labeling and set packaging for direct installation on the line.

04 · Applications
Three dry-area segments — one source.
Whether a packaging line, conveyor and storage technology, or control cabinet — we know the specific requirements of each area and deliver the right cable assembly.
B.01
Packaging & Labeling Lines
Packaging and labeling — the right sensor, drive, and fieldbus cable for every station. Rugged, highly available, matched to line throughput.

08 · Frequently Asked Questions
To dry-area cable assembly.
From what quantity does KnorrTec produce custom cable assemblies?
From a single piece. There is no minimum order quantity. Whether it is a prototype for a new packaging line, a replacement cable for an existing system, or series production — we manufacture the quantity you need, with no surcharge for small quantities.
Are your cables cable-carrier compatible for conveyor systems?
Yes. For moving axes on conveyor belts, palletizers, and packaging machines, we assemble cables using cable-carrier-compatible, highly flexible strands and correspondingly rated strain reliefs — matched to your system's bending cycles. We clarify together in advance which design fits your specific moving axis.
Does KnorrTec also supply connection technology for wet-hygiene or CIP areas?
Our focus is on the dry-goods area of the food and beverage industry — packaging, conveyor and storage technology, control cabinet cabling. For wet-hygiene, filling, or CIP areas with special washdown requirements, please get in touch — we will be happy to advise you individually.
How long does a custom assembly take?
You will receive technical feedback and a quote within 24 hours after your inquiry. Prototypes are typically available in 1–2 weeks available. Series production depending on scope and material availability on request — we communicate delivery dates transparently and reliably.
Which connector and fieldbus systems does KnorrTec supply compatible cables for?
We assemble manufacturer-independent for all common M12 circular connectors as well as for IO-Link- and Profinet-connections. Since we're not tied to any particular brand, we adapt to the systems already installed in your plant — simply state the connector type and protocol in your inquiry.
