Stainless-Steel, ATEX-Certified Enclosure Range Expanded by Schroff
Schroff has today announced an expansion to the ZONEX range of stainless-steel wall-mount enclosures, which are ATEX certified for housing electronic or electrical equipment in Zone 1 and Zone 2 hazardous locations. The ZONEX range, manufactured by sister company Hoffman, has been significantly expanded with 21 new sizes to complement the existing line-up of 13 models.
The All ZONEX products now carry both European ATEX and international IECEx certification, and the hinge-cover models are also certified to the American AEx standard.
Fabricated from Type 316 stainless steel for superior corrosion resistance, the ZONEX enclosures feature one-piece continuous gaskets and brass internal and external earthing points.
Hinge-cover versions are supplied as standard with a full-size gasketed gland plate, welded-on wall-mounting brackets and a quarter-turn latch with 3mm double-bit insert for enhanced security. Available accessories include panels, breather drains, stopping plugs and extra gland plates.
In addition, Hoffman offers a ZONEX modification service with ATEX certification, enabling the enclosures to be customised to meet specific requirements regarding choice of materials (including high-temperature silicone gaskets for operation from -55 to 180degC), mounting brackets, holes and cut-outs, paint finish and terminal-block installation and marking.
