A year ago, Elen Enclosures extended its range of glass reinforced polyester (GRP) enclosures by the addition of the PLA Series. The range has been selling for over a year, with sales increasing and the company reporting positive feedback from clients.
The main technical features of the range are high IP rating, mechanical strength (IK 10) and resistance to corrosion, weathering and vandalism. The enclosures are suitable for use in coastal areas and heavy industrial atmospheres such as encountered in the mining, chemical/petrochemical and food and beverage industries, pulp and paper plants, sewage works, textile industries and steel mills. By using the 19" rack accessories they present a suitable solution for mounting 19" 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. Versions with front and rear doors and safety glass windows extend the range 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's experienced workshop can also customise these enclosures with special sized cut outs and windows, according to client specifications.
