Which enclosure is suitable for exposure to animal and vegetable fats?
Short answer
If an enclosure will be exposed to animal and vegetable fats, choose one made from duroplastic, polyethylene, polypropylene, polyurethane or aluminium. We manufacture standard and bespoke enclosures in all of these materials, including the TK range of industrial enclosures in aluminium (TK AL) and the WK and WKE series, which also offer system integrity in the event of fire. These enclosures are available with ingress protection ratings of IP65, IP66 or IP67 to protect the equipment inside from dust and water.
If your enclosure is likely to be exposed to vegetable and animal fats, you should look for one made of duroplastic, polyethylene, polypropylene, polyurethane or aluminium. Picking the right electrical enclosure is essential for businesses in the food processing industry, where equipment is often exposed to harsh chemicals and other substances that can limit service life, damage the structure and compromise the electrical components within it.
We manufacture standard and bespoke enclosures made of all these materials in order to support a wide range of applications. In particular, we offer the TK range of industrial enclosures in aluminium (TK AL), as well as the WK and WKE series, which also offers system integrity in the event of fire.
