Elen Enclosures has extended its range of glass reinforced polyester (GRP) enclosures by the addition of the 'New Thalassa' (PLA) Series. These products complement Elen's existing palette of small to medium sized polyester enclosures and add forty basic sizes and 336 models to the existing supply programme. This makes Elen the largest supplier of polyester enclosures in South Africa, according to the company. The range has been selling for over a year, with sales increasing and with positive feedback from clients.
The main technical features of the 'New Thalassa' are high IP rating, excellent mechanical strength (IK 10) and superior resistance to corrosion, weathering and vandalism. The enclosures are ideal for use in coastal areas and heavy industrial atmospheres such as that encountered in the mining, chemical/petrochemical and food and beverage industries, pulp/paper plants, sewage works, textile industries and steel mills. With the 19" rack accessories they present an ideal solution for 19" mount electronics in challenging environments.
The range is available in five heights from 500 to 1500 mm, four widths from 500 to 1250 mm (in steps of 250 mm) and two depths 320 or 420 mm. Elen says it offers the largest GRP enclosures available on the market. Versions with front and rear doors and safety glass windows extend the range even further. The enclosures and cabinets can be wall or floor mounted as well as joined side-by-side or back-to-back.
Accessories include zinc-coated steel chassis, insulating material chassis, perforated chassis, chassis slides, internal doors, 19" fixed or swing frames, rain canopies, distribution board conversion kits, shelves, wall mounting brackets, plinths etc. Elen has an experienced workshop that can also customise enclosures with special-sized cutouts and windows, according to client specifications.
The 'New Thalassa' range has been designed, tested and manufactured in accordance with international standards: EN 50.298 (LT switchboards), IEC-439-1 (LT switchboard insulation), IEC-439-5 (Public site installations), EN 60.529 (IP rating) and EN 50.102 (mechanical impact - IK rating).
