It has been announced that Spelsberg has introduced the new GEOS range, designed to withstand aggressive atmospheres in outdoor or industrial applications. Lightweight, highly durable and featuring an innovative sealing system, the GEOS provides end users with a dynamic solution that combines strength, flexibility and multi-faceted protection.

The GEOS range offers UV, weather, corrosion and temperature resistance guaranteed as standard, coupled with an IK 09 impact rating, which means rugged performance in challenging environments. Ingress protection can be specified at either IP66 or IP67, with the high quality polycarbonate construction managing to deliver this protection package in a lightweight manner.

The GEOS includes a new Drain Protect seal system. The system serves to divert collected moisture from the environment via a drainage channel to the rear of the enclosure, away from the access point. An overlapping cover and an elastomer seal ensure diverted moisture cannot compromise the integrity of the enclosure, making the GEOS well suited for outdoor or indoor usage.

Variety is also built into the GEOS range. Five sizes of enclosure are offered, with differing side wall measurements. Opaque grey or blue transparent covers can be specified depending on inspection requirements, with end users able to choose between screw and quick release closure depending on preference. These options can be specified on the ten GEOS model variants in the Spelsberg range.

Air ventilation can also be provided by the optional BEL Air element, which ensures that condensate cannot compromise the integrity of electricals contained within.

The GEOS’ proficiency in most environments makes its suitable applications broad. The GEOS can be used indoors or outdoors, for industrial or commercial applications. As a result, it provides a useful option for end users in the automation, energy or communications industries.

Customisation has been a long standing aspect of Spelsberg’s service package, which allows end users to customise enclosures such as the GEOS to create the optimum electrical protection solution. Utilising a dedicated production line and CNC machine capacity, Spelsberg can offer processing, printing, assembly and packing services on reduced lead times. End users can even gain samples of their customised enclosure within 24 hours, ensuring the minimisation of project delays.
