Dunreidy Engineering was first established in 1989 and has over 36 years of experience in engineering solutions for critical environments.

Hycon is Patented, Trademark Protected and manufactured by Dunreidy at their Kilkenny base in Ireland, ensuring consistent quality control and worldwide manufacturing standards.

Hycon is a patented high-quality 316 stainless steel cable containment system, specifically designed for cleanroom environments in pharmaceutical, MedTech, and food & beverage industries. Unlike conventional systems, Hycon offers superior hygiene, faster installation, and regulatory compliance—making it ideal for the clean installation of electrical, Power Instrumentation, and Pneumatic services in industrial-process applications.

Hycon provides significant project and operational benefits, including: Reduced risk of contamination through seamless, crevice-free design with lower ongoing cleaning costs and maintenance requirements, Minimised downtime during installation (up to five times faster than traditional systems) Reduced labour costs through efficient, modular installation Superior aesthetics for premium cleanroom environments and long-term savings that continue long after installation

Hycon is engineered for highly regulated industries, including: Pharmaceutical & Biotech – GMP-compliant cable containment for sterile environments MedTech & Medical Device Manufacturing – Ensures clean, contamination-free cable management Food & Beverage Processing – Corrosion-resistant stainless steel system for hygienic production areas

Hycon O is a fully sealed, IP66-rated system ideal for environments requiring maximum contamination control. It’s typically used in strict cleanroom environments, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and areas with rigorous hygiene requirements. Hycon S is a semi-sealed system with flared connections allowing easier cable access and maintenance. It’s ideal for environments where hygiene is essential but occasional cable access, such as research labs and certain manufacturing areas, is needed.

Hycon has a UL Classification Code 4444116644147 in accordance with EN – IEC 61386-1 AND IEC 61386-21, IEC 61386-22, IEC 61386-23, IEC 61386-24 and/or IEC 61386-257. The management systems are certified with a quality management system that complies with the requirements of ISO 9001:20157.

Hycon’s seamless stainless steel design minimises contamination risks, ensuring compliance with GMP regulations, and industry hygienic requirements. The system’s smooth surfaces prevent particle buildup and bacterial harbourage, supporting validation and ongoing cleanroom certification.

Hycon systems offer a fully contained and hygienically sealed design, with the Hycon O model rated to IP66 standards. Constructed from premium grade 316 stainless steel, they provide high resistance to pitting corrosion. Their sleek and aesthetically pleasing design enhances the overall appearance of the facility. The modular, clickable system allows for fast installation and seamless integration. Designed for critical environments, Hycon systems deliver dust-tight, airtight, and waterproof performance. Additionally, their smooth, crevice-free surfaces minimise the risk of contamination. Hycon S can also be upgraded to IP66 with Hycon 5366 sealant.

Hycon can be used to install open-rated cords or cables such as SWA (Steel Wire Armour), Olflex, Cy, LiyCy, Belden, and pneumatic tubing and signal and data cabling.

Hycon can support a wide range of systems, including power wiring and distribution, signal and control wiring, and instrumentation wiring. It is also suitable for IT and data infrastructure, pneumatic systems, and automation and data systems, offering a versatile solution for modern industrial and commercial environments.

Hycon offers a versatile selection of cable containment systems designed to meet the highest standards of safety, hygiene, and convenience. The Hycon O is a fully sealed, stainless steel solution engineered for environments where maximum contamination control is critical. For applications that require both security and easy maintenance access, the Hycon S provides a semi-sealed system that strikes the perfect balance. To support fully tailored installations, Hycon Accessories include a comprehensive range of fittings, brackets, and specialised components, all designed to integrate seamlessly with both the Hycon O and S systems.

Hycon’s innovative modular and clickable system is engineered for fast and straightforward installation. By streamlining the setup process, Hycon can reduce installation time by up to 50% compared to traditional systems. This not only cuts down on labour costs but also minimises facility downtime, making it an ideal solution for contractors and cleanroom specialists seeking efficiency without compromising quality.

Hycon installation is designed to be simple and efficient, requiring minimal specialised tools. The essential toolkit includes a half round file for removing rough burrs, a nylon mallet to aid assembly without damaging the stainless steel, and socket and bush spanners to ensure proper tightening. A deburring tool and rotary saw are also used to prepare components, along with a facing off tool for clean, precise finishes. For larger projects, a sizing machine may be required—this specialised equipment can be hired exclusively from Dunreidy Engineering.

Yes, with modular configurations and a comprehensive range of accessories including bends, couplers, brackets, and fixings, Hycon can be tailored to meet complex cleanroom layouts and specific project requirements. Our engineering team can also create custom components for unique installations.

Hycon supports sustainability through its durable construction, which reduces the need for frequent replacements and extends product life. Its hygienic design minimises the use of harsh cleaning chemicals, contributing to a safer and more environmentally friendly maintenance routine. With lower maintenance requirements, Hycon systems help conserve resources over time. Additionally, the use of premium materials ensures long-term reliability, significantly reducing waste and supporting sustainable facility operations.

While Hycon represents an investment in quality, clients benefit from significant long-term savings. Its durable stainless steel construction reduces ongoing maintenance costs, while the contamination-resistant design lowers cleaning expenses. The system’s modular, easy-to-install nature minimises downtime during initial setup—up to 50% faster than traditional alternatives—and decreases labour costs during both installation and maintenance. With an extended service life, Hycon also delays the need for costly replacements, offering lasting value over time.

When considering total lifecycle costs, Hycon delivers exceptional value. Though initial investment may be higher than some conventional systems, the reduced installation time, lower maintenance requirements, and extended service life typically result in significant cost savings over the system’s lifetime.
