Food production digital signage that survives the factory floor. Durascreen KX is a sealed, fanless, all-in-one industrial display that keeps KPIs, production schedules, allergen alerts and safety messages on screen through hose-downs, chillers, flour dust and 24/7 shift work, with no separate enclosure or media player.
Yes, for most areas of a food or beverage plant. Durascreen KX from ProofVision is a fully sealed IP66 and IK10 digital signage display. Its fanless design draws in no air, and it runs 24/7 from −30°C to +50°C at 5–98% humidity. The 2,500-nit screen stays readable under bright factory lighting and outdoors, and a built-in Android 12 player means there's no PC or media box on the line.
It fits packing and dispatch, chilled and frozen stores (down to −30°C), goods-in, bakeries, low-pressure hose-down areas and canteens. It is not rated IP69K, so it isn't intended for high-pressure or steam washdown zones. It comes in 32", 55", 65" and 75" sizes, from UK stock, with a 3-year commercial warranty.
Dust-tight and protected against powerful water jets for hose-down cleaning.
Toughened glass that takes knocks from pallets, trolleys and forklifts.
Operating range covers chillers, frozen stores and warm bakery areas.
No air intake, so flour, dust and moisture stay out of the electronics.
Readable under bright LED high-bays and in outdoor loading bays.
Rated for continuous use across every shift, with a 50,000-hour panel life.
Commercial TVs and office monitors are built for dry, clean, temperature-stable rooms. A food plant has none of those, which is why food production digital signage needs an industrial, washdown-ready display screen.
| Food plant condition | What it does to a standard screen | How Durascreen KX handles it |
|---|---|---|
| Hose-down cleaning & splashes | Water gets into vents and ports | IP66 sealed chassis, dust-tight and protected against powerful water jets |
| Flour, sugar, spice & packaging dust | Fans pull dust inside and the screen overheats | Fanless passive cooling with no air intake, so no fan blows particulates around |
| Chillers, freezers & hot zones | Consumer panels are typically rated 0–40°C | Operates from −30°C to +50°C at 5–98% humidity |
| Forklifts, pallets & knocks | Cracked screens and downtime | IK10 toughened glass and a powder-coated aluminium chassis |
| Bright high-bays & outdoor yards | Washed-out, unreadable content | 2,500-nit panel with an automatic brightness sensor |
| Round-the-clock shifts | Not rated for 24/7 use, which can void the warranty | Rated for 24/7 operation with a 3-year commercial warranty |
| Extra kit on the line | PCs and media players to seal and clean | Built-in Android 12 player that runs content from USB, a network or a CMS |
This table shows each zone of a food production site and whether Durascreen KX is suitable for it.
| Area | Typical conditions | Suitability | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Packing, labelling & dispatch | Ambient, dusty, with forklift traffic | ✓ Ideal | KPI boards, pick rates, line status |
| Chilled production & cold rooms | 0°C to +8°C, high humidity | ✓ Ideal | Well within the −30°C to +50°C operating range |
| Frozen stores | Around −18°C to −25°C | ✓ Suitable | Blast freezers colder than −30°C are outside the rated range |
| Bakery & cooking areas | Warm, with flour and particulates | ✓ Suitable | Keep ambient temperature at or below +50°C, and don't mount above ovens or fryers |
| Goods-in, yards & loading bays | Outdoor, rain and direct sun | ✓ Ideal | Designed as a full-sun outdoor display |
| Low-pressure hose-down areas | Water jets and daily cleaning | ✓ Suitable | IP66 covers powerful water jets, but not high-pressure lances |
| High-care open-product zones | Strict foreign-body and glass controls | ◐ Site assessment | Uses toughened glass, so it needs to go on your glass register and risk assessment |
| High-pressure / steam washdown | 80–100 bar jets, up to 80°C | ✗ Not rated | These zones need IP69K-rated equipment |
| Canteens, welfare & entrances | Ambient | ✓ Ideal | Shift comms, inductions, hygiene reminders |

The second digit of an IP rating describes water protection. These are the ratings most often specified for food production equipment, and what each one is tested against.
| Rating | What it's tested against | Typical food factory use |
|---|---|---|
| IP65 | Dust-tight. Low-pressure water jets (6.3 mm nozzle, 12.5 litres per minute) | Splash zones and light cleaning |
| IP66 Durascreen KX | Dust-tight. Powerful water jets (12.5 mm nozzle, 100 litres per minute) | Hose-down cleaning, packing, chilled, dispatch and yard areas |
| IP67 | Dust-tight. Temporary immersion up to 1 m for 30 minutes | Equipment that may be submerged. This doesn't test against jets |
| IP69K | Dust-tight. Close-range, high-pressure (80–100 bar), high-temperature (up to 80°C) jets | Intensive sanitation zones, such as meat and dairy processing |
A higher number isn't always better for your zone. IP66 and IP67 test different things, and IP69K is only needed where high-pressure, hot washdown is used.
Live line speed, output against target and downtime from your MES, SCADA or ERP.
Which allergens are on which line, clean-down status and changeover sign-off.
Handwashing, PPE and hygiene-zone messages, updated centrally instead of reprinting posters.
Production plans and visual SOPs in multiple languages.
Bay allocations and vehicle calls on outdoor screens at goods-in.
Site news, recognition and visitor inductions in canteens and entrances.
Line-side screens work best when they show the few numbers operators can act on during the shift. These are the KPIs food manufacturers most often display.
Food safety standards such as BRCGS don't ban glass from production areas. They require every glass and brittle item to be justified, registered, checked regularly and covered by a breakage procedure. Durascreen KX helps you meet that requirement.
For open-product, high-care zones, your site's own risk assessment decides whether glass-fronted equipment is permitted. If it isn't, we'll tell you and recommend a different location or approach.
Many food plants put a standard TV inside a stainless steel enclosure. Both approaches work for food production digital signage. This is how they compare.
| Durascreen KX (all-in-one) | TV + protective enclosure | |
|---|---|---|
| Units to install & clean | One sealed unit with a built-in media player | Enclosure, TV and often a separate media player |
| Brightness | 2,500 nits, viewed directly | Usually a 300–500-nit TV viewed through an extra window |
| Condensation risk | No air gap behind the glass | An air gap between the window and the TV can mist in cold areas |
| Depth | Around 107 mm | Typically deeper and heavier |
| Highest washdown rating | IP66 | Available up to IP69K |
| Materials | Powder-coated aluminium | Often 304 or 316 stainless steel |
| Best choice when… | You want a sealed, bright, low-maintenance screen for packing, chilled, dispatch, yard and general production areas | The zone needs IP69K high-pressure or steam washdown, or stainless steel is mandatory |

The best screen is fully sealed (at least IP65/IP66), fanless so it doesn't draw in dust or moisture, rated for the temperature of the zone, and rated for 24/7 use. Durascreen KX meets all four for most food plant areas: IP66, fanless, −30°C to +50°C, and 24/7. For high-pressure steam washdown zones, choose IP69K-rated equipment instead.
IP66 means a product is completely dust-tight (the first 6) and protected against powerful water jets from any direction (the second 6). It's tested with 100 litres per minute from a 12.5 mm nozzle at around 3 metres. Durascreen KX is IP66-rated, which suits hose-down cleaning in food production areas.
Yes. IP66 means the unit is dust-tight and protected against powerful water jets (tested at 100 litres per minute from a 12.5 mm nozzle). It is not rated for high-pressure lances or steam cleaning, which fall under IP69K.
IP69K protects against close-range, high-pressure (80–100 bar), high-temperature (up to 80°C) jets used in intensive sanitation areas such as meat and dairy processing. IP66 protects against powerful water jets at low pressure, which covers most hose-down cleaning. Most packing, chilled, dispatch and general production areas don't need IP69K.
Yes. Durascreen KX operates from −30°C to +50°C and at 5–98% humidity, so it covers chilled production, cold rooms and typical frozen stores. Blast freezers running below −30°C are outside the rated range.
It uses IK10-rated toughened glass, the highest impact rating, which is far more resistant to breakage than a standard monitor. As with any glass item, add it to your glass and brittle materials register and include it in your site checks. Your HACCP or BRCGS risk assessment decides whether it's permitted in open-product, high-care areas.
Screens with fans draw air, and with it flour, sugar, spice dust and moisture, into the electronics. That causes overheating and failure, and a fan can blow particulates around the area. Durascreen KX cools passively with no air intake.
No. The chassis is sealed, powder-coated aluminium. If your site specification requires 304 or 316 stainless steel in a particular zone, tell us and we'll advise whether Durascreen KX or an alternative approach is the better fit.
No. It has a built-in Android 12 player that runs content from USB, a network or a compatible digital signage CMS. That means fewer devices on the production floor to seal, clean and support.
Yes. Most sites show KPI and OEE dashboards from their MES, SCADA or ERP through a browser-based dashboard or a digital signage CMS. We'll confirm compatibility with your systems before you order.
