Large polyester enclosures with IP65 rating

29 August 2001 Manufacturing / Production Technology, Hardware & Services

Elen Enclosures has launched a new range of glass-fibre reinforced polyester (GRP) enclosures that it claims sets it apart from the competition. Until now the size range of GRP enclosures on the market has been fairly limited, with the maximum size going to around the 1000 x 800 x 300 mm mark. The company's 'new Thalassa' or 'PLA' range now pushes the maximum to 1500 x 1250 x 420 mm, and still maintains an IP65 rating.

The size range begins at 500 x 500 x 300 mm, with heights and widths increasing in 250 mm increments. Two depths of 320 and 420 mm extend the range to 40 different sizes. The enclosures are robust with increased wall thickness and construction suited for harsh industrial environments. This is an ideal solution for larger installations in corrosive areas that can be mounted in the field.

Another first for this range is the availability of 19" fixed and swing frames for the 750 mm enclosure widths. These enclosures with a depth of 420 mm allow, for the first time, the ability to mount 19" rack equipment in harsh or corrosive environments, says Elen Enclosures. Other accessories for the 'new Thalassa'/PLA include galvanised chassis plates, perforated chassis plates, canopies, wall brackets, plinths, distribution board chassis and internal doors.

The enclosures are ideal for the petrochemical, paper, sugar, chemical and mining industries, amongst others.
